2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThis is getting to be a fun little trend with Sanders
Steal data from the DNC, then sue them when they tell him to stop.
Lie about Clinton, then demand an apology from her.
Fucking amazing!

(24,544 posts)USA Today in a post. The wise jurors decided that the Free Beacon was so horrible that it overshadowed the NY Times and USA Today pieces even though all three pieces discussed Sanders' myriad FEC problems. I'm sure that hide had absolutely NOTHING to do with the context/information within the post and was just about the unspecified horror of that one source out of 3.
Of course, when a toothless, half literate YouTube "star" rants about how Hillary has personally assassinated half of the Western world, these same wise jurors will be the first ones to holler "Debate it in the thread!!1 Stop trying to CENSOR eVerythInG!11one"
I damn sure alerted on those jury results, but mostly, you got to laugh at these people. And Lord KNOWS I do.

(1,901 posts)Credible sources are far easier to find and easier to defend. Luckily we don't need them for our arguments, while theirs rely on them. Nearly every attack they use is RW in origin, even if they don't realize it due to their failure to do their homework. The indictment chants etc. all right wing

(68,868 posts)All closed primaries.
The winner has already been determined, effectively, but the horse race narrative continues because Sanders had money and a nice string of caucus states.
After the late April primaries, there's nowhere for Sanders to make up a big delegate deficit.

(18,115 posts)at various dates since his announcement.
We'll see. But I would put money on him being in through June 7.
geek tragedy
(68,868 posts)But if he's down 250+ delegates at the end of April then his campaign once more becomes a protest candidacy than one for the nomination.
I would hope this place would get some sense of decency back--on both sides--once that happens.

(17,796 posts)when you're use to doing things a certain way it's hard to change. And don't take it personally, it's just business to her so she doesn't mean much of what she says so try to be forgiving. Lord knows I'm trying.

(135,425 posts)Any public goodwill he might have fostered amongst the "Doing" (as opposed to Talking and Complaining) cadres has pretty much evaporated.
If it's not HIM directing these actions, it's someone giving him shitty advice. He really ought to be ashamed.
These two guys have done a lot of damage to his image, and they have been giving him terrible advice for months. Of course they do get paid pretty good money so I guess once again as Bernie says "follow the money"!
MADem
(135,425 posts)I don't think he thought of that on his own, and I don't think his interactions with GREENPEACE were independent of the "campaign advisor" filter. Those clowns created that nexus.

His reputation is being irrevocably damaged, I think. He's going to have a hard time walking back into the light, IMO.
Bleacher Creature
(11,258 posts)I actually used to like him quite a bit. I had friends who worked for him when he was in the House.
I've been disgusted since day one with the way he and his campaign have been trying to associate individual campaign contributions as coming from entire industries, or tagging any contribution from a lobbyist as being associated with all of a firm's clients.
The last straw for me was the rank hypocrisy of trying to steal superdelegates.
I'll continue to support his efforts in the Senate. And if a miracle happens, I'll vote for him in November. But I don't think I can bring myself to respect him anytime soon.

(4,451 posts)Bernie Sanders was the ONLY left person who Voted Against Ex-Im Bank. Very puzzling since this is not a vote any democrat would ever make. Well it is a vote that benefits the KOCH BROTHERS who in turn gave money to Sanders Campaign. http://www.rollcall.com/politics/sanders-unique-among-senate-democrats-opposing-export-import-bank/ http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/03/2016-election-defense-military-industry-contractors-donations-money-contributions-presidential-hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-republican-ted-cruz-213783 http://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/sanders-votes-against-ex-im-bank

(12,504 posts)Has become such a desperate need to actually win, Bernie has walked back on so much of his "integrity". Lying, stealing and cheating career politician. Why anyone ever though he was not part of the establishment, just because he said so, is beyond me. There is a reason we NEVER see a timeline of Bernie's life and accomplishments.

(10,786 posts)Put Sanders voter database at risk, then rule that he cannot use his own data when his staff tries in investigate the security breach.
Claim Sanders is lying about Clinton, when it is Greenpeace who is telling the truth about Clinton and Clinton who is lying.
Fucking amazing!
