Who ya gonna believe, pundits or your own lying eyes? Okay, Bernie did not say that. [View all]

[merrily]

But he came damn close!

The pundits cannot believe — it’s beyond their worldview to believe — that somebody who is not part of the establishment, somebody who does not have a super PAC, somebody who does not have connections with George Soros and all the other billionaires, can actually win,” Sanders said. “But use your own eyes and see what you can see.

Not to argue with Bernie, but they do see it and that's exactly what made them run to Biden and Gore. Senator Sanders, you're the last one the establishment, Democratic or Republican, wants in the Oval Office. They don't even want Americans hearing what you have to say.

Keep calm and campaign on, Senator!

One of many things he is up against:

Roughly one-fifth of the delegates who will pick the nominee at the Democratic convention are superdelegates — elected officials and other party leaders who are not bound by voting in their states. So far, those superdelegates have sided overwhelmingly with Clinton.

After this election, we should focus on eliminating super delegates.

Beware of bs like this though:

The senator also will appear with other White House hopefuls this week at a meeting of the Democratic National Committee and will urge party leaders to embrace him as a candidate who can attract new voters and energy, just as President Obama did eight years ago.

Nine years ago, in 2006, party bigwigs approached Obama to run. Daschle said as much on TV during the 2008 primary, claiming Obama thought it was too soon. Daschle went on to say that he had told Obama that a record could go against him (Obama) as had happened to Daschle. (As if Obama didn't know that?) And Daschle said he had told Obama "This is your time."
