Tue Jun 7, 2016, 06:52 AM

Jun 2016

is going to happen on the convention floor to sway delegates to Bernie??

I keep seeing people threaten, "see you at the convention," as if the sheer presence of Bernie supporters will be enough to bully the delegates into voting for him at the last damn minute??

It's just not going to happen, folks.

Bernie said nothing about pledged delegates when endorsing Obama. Lord Magus Jun 2016 #82

Because it had, Obama had the pledged delegates. Hillary doesn't. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #162

It has played out enough to call the race bravenak Jun 2016 #85

So fuck the rules . TheFarS1de Jun 2016 #87

The AP wasn't going to sit on for a simple reason. Lord Magus Jun 2016 #107

I know they wanted the scoop. It's just that it fits the victimy Sanders narrative so well... Hekate Jun 2016 #111
