Highlight:

Pretty sure Bernie just unofficially conceded NY... [View all] Godhumor Apr 2016 OP

This is the guy that has been boasting all week that "I was born in New York". George II Apr 2016 #1

I was born in NY too and left after Bernie. DemocratSinceBirth Apr 2016 #4

Funny thing, as much as he rubs that "I was born in NY" thing in, it turns out that.... George II Apr 2016 #18

I left in 1970 as a kid so my ties are more recent, lol. DemocratSinceBirth Apr 2016 #22

Yes, by two years (he left for good in 1968) I left NYC proper in 1984 to move to Yonkers... George II Apr 2016 #48

Carpetbag and all! Human101948 Apr 2016 #32

Kind of like Sanders is using the Democratic Party? George II Apr 2016 #50

yes, moving there to inherit a senate seat is the same as growing up there for one's entire youth JonLeibowitz Apr 2016 #53

another way to say it... Corporate666 Apr 2016 #147

Jane Sanders was also raised there, in Brooklyn. New York. appalachiablue Apr 2016 #71

She lived there even less than Sanders did. George II Apr 2016 #75

So what, where you're brought up matters. I left my home state for college appalachiablue Apr 2016 #79

I don't care, but Sanders has been using it as a talking point when campaigning in New York. George II Apr 2016 #98

As he should and for good reason. Bernie's parents were also from there & his brother Larry. appalachiablue Apr 2016 #99

I went to High School with David Axelrod and Eric Holder, and many many celebrities.... George II Apr 2016 #106

Terrific, that's really special and good for you. How were Axelrod & Holder? appalachiablue Apr 2016 #109

Obviously I didn't know them back then, a large school, and of course we didn't know back then.... George II Apr 2016 #118

I understand, have met many political figures too. Dr. Sharon Malone, Holders's appalachiablue Apr 2016 #126

OK. So he's going to lose his home state tomorrow Maru Kitteh Apr 2016 #142

It's not a fucking talking point. It's true. pangaia Apr 2016 #128

Hillary didn't, doesn't live in New York. pangaia Apr 2016 #127

In case you didn't know, Chappaqua (Westchester County) in in New York.... George II Apr 2016 #135

I know exactly where Westchester is. pangaia Apr 2016 #145

This message was self-deleted by its author George II Apr 2016 #164

It is in New York George II Apr 2016 #165

You don't get it..... pangaia Apr 2016 #167

because it makes no sense SCantiGOP Apr 2016 #169

A statement of fact, not a boast. panader0 Apr 2016 #44

Have you seen him make that "statement of fact" at any of his rallies? Boasting. George II Apr 2016 #51

Being BORN in NY doesn't give you cred...moving BACK does brooklynite Apr 2016 #83

Precisely - as the song goes, "if I can make it there I can make it anywhere". Says quite a bit. George II Apr 2016 #89

And I supposed Hillary never mentioned being born in Illinois while she was campaigning there? thesquanderer Apr 2016 #134

Bernie is a genuine New Yorker... Bohemianwriter Apr 2016 #151

Curious to hear his justification for continuing after tomorrow. Bleacher Creature Apr 2016 #2

She won't get all the delegates, either. Fawke Em Apr 2016 #55

they will split the delegstes restorefreedom Apr 2016 #66

Absolutely, All the Way. There's Calif., Oregon and more to go. appalachiablue Apr 2016 #74

this is the same desperate meme restorefreedom Apr 2016 #77

Totally obvious, repetitive and pushing wishful thinking to elevate a poor candidate appalachiablue Apr 2016 #82

yup. if it wasnt corrupt and infuriating, it would be sad. nt restorefreedom Apr 2016 #96

Under 200? Not quite. It's 210. George II Apr 2016 #94

194. nt ChisolmTrailDem Apr 2016 #105

Not 194 Corporate666 Apr 2016 #149

Wrong, it's 194... ChisolmTrailDem Apr 2016 #161

what chance does he have left? Corporate666 Apr 2016 #148

This message was self-deleted by its author Godhumor Apr 2016 #3

Thank god he's gone. Only parachuted back here to chase votes. Hope he doesn't return nt geek tragedy Apr 2016 #5

.. frylock Apr 2016 #80

Clinton's national headquarters is in New York Tom Rinaldo Apr 2016 #6

Clinton wouldn't be planning a rally in Times Square unless she was very confident. geek tragedy Apr 2016 #8

I do think she is feeling confident Tom Rinaldo Apr 2016 #14

Sanders has been dropping some pretty broad hints--talking about this being a "tough primary" geek tragedy Apr 2016 #17

Indeed. 27 instances where BS/campaign stated the would, could or must win in NY Maru Kitteh Apr 2016 #143

Where do you see reports of a rally in Times Square? Is there a permit? Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #29

It isn't? George II Apr 2016 #10

No, not in a while. He wasn't in Washington or Wisconsin or Michigan for example n/t Tom Rinaldo Apr 2016 #21

Also, NYC is probably the only place where Hillary can produce a decent sized crowd. virtualobserver Apr 2016 #11

do you think he'll win tomorrow? nt geek tragedy Apr 2016 #20

She also gets good crowds at polling places mythology Apr 2016 #33

Bernie has won seven straight....Hillary hasn't had much success lately. virtualobserver Apr 2016 #65

the answer Corporate666 Apr 2016 #150

he just needs to win.....a loss in the state that elected her twice will pop Hillary's bubble. virtualobserver Apr 2016 #154

Message auto-removed Name removed Apr 2016 #107

If he thought he could win NY, he would be sticking around Godhumor Apr 2016 #15

Nope. Fawke Em Apr 2016 #57

Of course she's expecting it. notadmblnd Apr 2016 #85

How were Democratic voter rolls purged? Nonhlanhla Apr 2016 #108

Have you LOOKED at what went on in Arizona? PyaarRevolution Apr 2016 #157

Yes but that does not show me Nonhlanhla Apr 2016 #159

We're seeing the same thing echo in NY AND CA. PyaarRevolution Apr 2016 #160

Of course I have heard of voting issues Nonhlanhla Apr 2016 #163

Why would he leave the night before the primary? DesertRat Apr 2016 #7

Why was he in Wyoming on the eve of his victory in Wisconsin? virtualobserver Apr 2016 #13

Shhhhh. Don't disturb their victory dream bubble passiveporcupine Apr 2016 #84

Thank You! This Is A Consistent Approach corbettkroehler Apr 2016 #93

I don't think Truman was in New York when Dewey won either. Fuddnik Apr 2016 #119

He left Michigan as well. Lots of states to win out there. nt Joe the Revelator Apr 2016 #24

Bernie flies across three time zones in a day to attend events; handles it just fine. appalachiablue Apr 2016 #78

Hillary rides across 3 county lines in a day to attend fundraisers. Fuddnik Apr 2016 #120

He has until Midnight to get his taxes done and released Sheepshank Apr 2016 #111

That makes sense DesertRat Apr 2016 #116

And it from a Sanders source. Twitter. NCTraveler Apr 2016 #9

Not from Facebook which aged Hillary fans use... Human101948 Apr 2016 #37

Shows you how old I am. I thought Facebook was a hipsters game. Nt NCTraveler Apr 2016 #153

I think so. DCBob Apr 2016 #38

did he give up on Wisconsin? Rosa Luxemburg Apr 2016 #40

This is different... this is New York. DCBob Apr 2016 #43

doesn't matter Rosa Luxemburg Apr 2016 #45

He's likely trying to get a jump on PA. He can always catch a train back. nm floriduck Apr 2016 #47

Bernie's very energetic & agile, can handle the pace well. And is in great shape. Play Ball! appalachiablue Apr 2016 #88

Remember when Bernie left Michigan and gave a victory speech... Joe the Revelator Apr 2016 #19

What? You mean there are five more primaries next week? winter is coming Apr 2016 #25

He often leaves states the day before, even those he is favored in. Punkingal Apr 2016 #23

Combined with Hillary planning a very public party Godhumor Apr 2016 #26

It is over for him. hrmjustin Apr 2016 #27

Bernie has had a rally planned at Penn State for awhile now NWCorona Apr 2016 #30

He's not planning to interfere with the voting... k8conant Apr 2016 #41

Really, a party in Times Square? kstewart33 Apr 2016 #42

OMG Mike__M Apr 2016 #46

Gate implies scandal. This implies he had no more reason to stick around NY Godhumor Apr 2016 #49

Which is actually a good commentary on the entire primary race up until now. Joe the Revelator Apr 2016 #54

See you tomorrow night, Joe! N/t Godhumor Apr 2016 #56

She does because thousands are being disenfranchised...court action....enough. bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #62

And if that were really true, he'd be sticking around to help fight n/t Godhumor Apr 2016 #63

She will probably win ny, but I sure would love to see that block party ruined. Punkingal Apr 2016 #121

Fair enough n/t Godhumor Apr 2016 #125

Who is Matt McDermott and why should I give a shit what he says? Fawke Em Apr 2016 #52

He's not even going to stick around and thank his supporters? NurseJackie Apr 2016 #58
