Things are pretty sad over on the other side of the democratic campfire [View all]

They are delusional, IMO; a dead heat poll result, more than a year before the election, for their candidate who has dropped from a peak of 66%...and they are deliriously happy.

I'm going to invest in Kleenex futures, and stock up on screw top wine for the after-party. Maybe after a 6-12 month reign by Bernie, they will be reconciled....and we can get Elizabeth Warren to step up and be the first woman president!
