55. If this were true, he wouldn't have won any states other than Vermont, through name recognition...

...which is entirely how Clinton is winning. Hillary supporters are under the assumption that everyone knows Sanders message now so it can't be said they don't know him (which in reality is still a problem for him). If his message didn't resonate, he wouldn't be getting close to 50% of the vote in primary states or winning caucus states handily. When you start at 2% and end up between 40-50% you're doing, and saying, something right.

maybe if it weren't for those convenient, coincidental, shenanigans? 2pooped2pop Mar 2016 #1
My Gawd... WHAT IS Wrong With People? Character and Integrity... In A Candidate Are Not Important.. CorporatistNation Mar 2016 #20
Yup. Also, I would add that going from 0% to 48% nationally with no Wall $treet Cash ain't bad... reformist2 Mar 2016 #25

just adorable rbrnmw Mar 2016 #27
So why is he losing? Why do we see constant OP's about indictments, flipping delegates and upaloopa Mar 2016 #19
All of them are Hillary's issues. hrmbaja Mar 2016 #21
Seems to me they are Bernie Supporter issues nobody else cares. upaloopa Mar 2016 #26
hahaa - keep thinking that. 840high Mar 2016 #44
I will upaloopa Mar 2016 #45
Except in the 14 States he has won, several by enormous margins including all three of the most Bluenorthwest Mar 2016 #5
Sanders is the nominee of the caucuses and Hillary is the nominee of the primaries. seabeyond Mar 2016 #7
He's won 14 States, all three of the most recent by huge margins. You claim those voters do not Bluenorthwest Mar 2016 #12
I said he cannot win on message and you agree with me that is why the need for indictment upaloopa Mar 2016 #18

Bernie steals logos? Like this? pinebox Mar 2016 #60
Someone's worried! NWCorona Mar 2016 #8
I think I figured out why the need to say someone is worried or scared. It's because you need me upaloopa Mar 2016 #17
Do I need you? No. NWCorona Mar 2016 #23
If I ever worry it is mostly about money. I have a vision of Hillary in the White House upaloopa Mar 2016 #29
Yes that can be very powerful NWCorona Mar 2016 #31
No. The problem is getting the message out in time. Ash_F Mar 2016 #11

Easy to say when you're hiding behind the superdelegates. n/t lumberjack_jeff Mar 2016 #14
Makes me wonder why Sanders is seeking to "hide" behind the super delegates if they are bad. Thinkingabout Mar 2016 #51
Backing of the party apparatus, fawning lapdog media, DNC stacking the deck in her favor.. frylock Mar 2016 #16
Her only chance of winning a general election is if the Republicans also co-incidentally nominate Attorney in Texas Mar 2016 #24
Is there anyone on DU who actually prefers Hillary's message? If so, what is it? I get that she has Attorney in Texas Mar 2016 #22
Is there ever a perfect candidate that fits our wishes perfectly? upaloopa Mar 2016 #34
The Hillary you all love to hate is a fiction you all created in your minds. WHAT? pinebox Mar 2016 #62
Yes, the perfect candidate who fits my wishes perfectly is Bernie Sanders (or Elizabeth Warren - I'm Attorney in Texas Mar 2016 #64
Of course he cant. He is getting fucking wrecked on popular vote. nt LexVegas Mar 2016 #28
That might be how you see it - not me. Jarqui Mar 2016 #30
Bernie doesn't need anything; Hillary provides a wealth of material all by herself casperthegm Mar 2016 #32
Because it is mostly all untrue upaloopa Mar 2016 #35
Oh, well that explains it, thanks casperthegm Mar 2016 #39
Do you ever pay attention to what she says? upaloopa Mar 2016 #47
You're funny casperthegm Mar 2016 #50
He (and his supporters) simply have nothing else. NanceGreggs Mar 2016 #36
If Clinton is forced from the ballot for any reason other than a legitimate election loss to Sanders alcibiades_mystery Mar 2016 #37
Berni Sanders isn't clapping for the Indictment Fairy, unlike a lot of the people geek tragedy Mar 2016 #40
Comey will be interviewing 840high Mar 2016 #41
Which means this thing will be put to bed soon with no indictment upaloopa Mar 2016 #46
I'll wait and see what happens. At least 840high Mar 2016 #48
Every time the math looks harder for Sanders more indictment posts pop up KingFlorez Mar 2016 #43
It would seem to me So Far From Heaven Mar 2016 #49
big K&R! bigtree Mar 2016 #52
That's a crock. Both candidates have talking pts. No indictments. Flipping delegates? Obama. snowy owl Mar 2016 #53
The math is against Sanders and so he needs to flip both pledged and super delegates Gothmog Mar 2016 #54
If this were true, he wouldn't have won any states other than Vermont, through name recognition... TCJ70 Mar 2016 #55
