7. No victories in the end? Winning states is not what matters at this stage. Winning enough delegates

Wed Mar 16, 2016, 11:27 AM

Mar 2016

through Super Tuesday Part 2 is what mattered.

Bernie remains viable, and in fact out-performed what he needed. So he "won" by surviving the southern "firewall" that was built to favor conservative, establishment candidates.

The primary map now turns very blue and now is when he starts cutting into Hillary's delegate lead.

Those guys perform the same role for Sanders as Brock does for Clinton. nt MADem Mar 2016 #3

If you watched the show rather than the short clips posted here, you'd know that's not true Bubzer Mar 2016 #6

That clip was hardly abbreviated. It was a long paean to Bernie, with a few kicks delivered to HRC. MADem Mar 2016 #8

No one is trying to "paint it as dispassionate". Most of TYT certainly preferes Bernie. Bubzer Mar 2016 #10

I've yet to see them giving any "props" -- never mind praise -- to Clinton. MADem Mar 2016 #13

Glad you admit Brock has nothing but partisan bias. As for the rest, I'll agree to disagree. Bubzer Mar 2016 #16

Anyone who expects anything BUT partisan bias from a Super Pac supporting a candidate is MADem Mar 2016 #38

LOL... took you long enough to reply. No, Sorry... not taking your bait. So long. Bubzer Mar 2016 #39

Now you're timing my responses? LOL! MADem Mar 2016 #40

And most of the mainstream media is a long paean to Trump and Hillary. JDPriestly Mar 2016 #21

No reason to kick Obama in that essay, but you went there. You should try doing his job. MADem Mar 2016 #24

Yes. The democratic primaries have been rigged from the beginning. JDPriestly Mar 2016 #30

I am sorry--I have counted him out. I do not believe he can overcome his deficit. MADem Mar 2016 #32

They were victories... The dems aren't Winnder-take-all and he came from behind in many of FighttheFuture Mar 2016 #4

You don't really understand the Bernie Sanders campaign, do you? Peace Patriot Mar 2016 #11

I understand the American political process. And here's the bottom line: MADem Mar 2016 #14

How well do you know California? JDPriestly Mar 2016 #22

She's been holding steady well ahead of him in the polls at 538. MADem Mar 2016 #25

Even if he doesn't he has started a movement that will be impossible to stop. JDPriestly Mar 2016 #27

That's nice, but his likelihood of becoming the nominee is in single digits-very low ones. nt MADem Mar 2016 #29

Bernie has only been running for 10-11 months. Hillary has been running since at least 2008. JDPriestly Mar 2016 #33

And he's been on TV constantly--every Sunday morning, on every talk show. MADem Mar 2016 #36

She has stated her views in the debates and town halls, and I disagree with her and find that JDPriestly Mar 2016 #37

Hoping for Clinton scandal? Plainsman1 Mar 2016 #12

TYT got four million bucks in start up money from a right wing, anti-choice conservative. MADem Mar 2016 #15

What liberal is willing to put up four million for even an online news source? JDPriestly Mar 2016 #28

No, TYT. A virulent, anti-choice asshole funds that site. MADem Mar 2016 #31

Works for me if he is a Republican who wants campaign finance reform. JDPriestly Mar 2016 #34

He's an anti-choice lunatic--does that "work for you?" smh! nt MADem Mar 2016 #35

They don't have to wish for a scandal, she is under investigation. onecaliberal Mar 2016 #26

How Bernie wins Wibly Mar 2016 #17

If Bernie started talking about running as an independent then he would go against his own words. Thinkingabout Mar 2016 #18

He won't run as an independent, but we who support him may vote for whomever we wish. JDPriestly Mar 2016 #23
