People who were irritated with him months ago are irritated with him now. What's nuts is that some Chathamization Jun 2016 #3

Wrong. It's not about making Hillary supporters "happy". (How silly.) Instead ... NurseJackie Jun 2016 #4

His strategy is working. People on both sides admit that Sanders voters are largely migrating to Chathamization Jun 2016 #6

He gets exactly zero credit for that. They're migrating to Clinton because she's a better option geek tragedy Jun 2016 #8

Funny, people were saying it would be his fault if they didn't do that. I suppose he only gets Chathamization Jun 2016 #9

he's not actively interfering with them moving over to her to oppose Trump. geek tragedy Jun 2016 #11

Sanders _might_ have a better idea about how to convince Sanders supporters than the people who have Chathamization Jun 2016 #12

Sanders hasn't said Clinton is much better than Trump in several weeks, if not months geek tragedy Jun 2016 #13

He just said last week that he will be voting for Clinton... and that Trump is worse... GeorgiaPeanuts Jun 2016 #22

Again, you're not the target audience. Sanders has said he would vote for Clinton, that his focus is Chathamization Jun 2016 #28

again, Sanders supporters aren't migrating because of anything Sanders is saying. geek tragedy Jun 2016 #30

You're assuming that you know Sanders supporters better than they know themselves Chathamization Jun 2016 #32

I think you're underestimating the importance of Bernie working on the platform and how that helps aikoaiko Jun 2016 #35

Bernie Sanders is keeping young people involved with his long goodbye Eric J in MN Jun 2016 #10

Because fomenting discontent is such a winning strategy, eh? NurseJackie Jun 2016 #15

People who voted for Sanders were already discontented. Eric J in MN Jun 2016 #21

Our first priority is helping Hillary to defeat the GOP and Trump. NurseJackie Jun 2016 #27

Bernie Sanders' stump speech criticized Trump for bigotry. Eric J in MN Jun 2016 #31

Bah humbug, this isn't a sports game FFS!!!! GeorgiaPeanuts Jun 2016 #24

Oh look, more hypersensitivity. NurseJackie Jun 2016 #26

Wrong... GeorgiaPeanuts Jun 2016 #29

We gave him political capital, and he is spending it on our behalf. Orsino Jun 2016 #5

What political capital does Sanders have now? Sanders supporter flocking to Clinton in faster uponit7771 Jun 2016 #17

I don't see your point at all SheenaR Jun 2016 #18

Point being Sanders statistically has no holdout voters and his progressive bonafides is replaced by uponit7771 Jun 2016 #19

Warren is having her moment SheenaR Jun 2016 #25

No he doesn't.... There are only 8% hold outs left 1/4 the number Obama had uponit7771 Jun 2016 #33

You and I are talking about different things SheenaR Jun 2016 #34

To late for him to claim 3rd party for national elections, no... he has no leverage but he did weeks uponit7771 Jun 2016 #36

Agree to disagree SheenaR Jun 2016 #39

Looking forward to the goodbye part. n/t seaglass Jun 2016 #7

I see the hardline Bernie Bashers are still bashing Bernie instead of discussing what Dionne has to Bluenorthwest Jun 2016 #14

Sanders supporters flocking to Hillary faster than Hillary supporters flocked to Obama, Warren is on uponit7771 Jun 2016 #16

I have to disagree; he's pretty much lost all relevance at this point LongtimeAZDem Jun 2016 #20

At this point, I don't think he has ANY DemonGoddess Jun 2016 #38
