2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Bernie insults black voters and lies about the math ... [View all]
... all in one interview.
Way to go, Bernie!
This guy's candidacy is way past its shelf life ....
Bernie Sanders told Nightly Show host Larry Wilmore at a taping Wednesday evening that scheduling Southern states early in the Democratic primary distorts reality.
Sanders remarks came after Wilmore asked him whether he believed the Democratic primary system is rigged.
Well, you know, Sanders said, people say, Why does Iowa go first, why does New Hampshire go first, but I think that having so many Southern states go first kind of distorts reality as well.
.....
Despite his Southern struggles, Sanders insisted to Wilmore that he can win the Democratic nomination, despite lagging by more than 200 pledged delegates. Our path is with the math, the Vermont senator said. We started off this campaign having to run in the Deep South

I think he lost the south because he barely campaigned there and people seldom vote for unknowns

That's why Larry said he knows something about running in the south. It IS "always about race"
