2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Functionally, Clinton will clinch the nomination on June 7. That's just reality [View all]
You can hate the democratic primary system with the passion of a thousand burning suns, but that doesn't change reality. Continuing to post that she won't, pretending that the super delegates will switch, is fantasy. It's silly.
And you know what? Bernie can't catch her. Not in the real world.
A contested convention? Pointless and counterproductive. Bernie shouldn't.
He won't.

If it was SUCH a foregone conclusion they wouldn't be continuing the manipulative dog and pony shows

I came into this cycle hoping to have my assumptions about this nation proved false.

Man, do the Berniebros eat their own or what? You, a genuine Sanders supporter goes under the bus.

Sanders doesn't get special treatment just cause he isn't a Democrat running in our primary.

You're right: Watergate was just a campaign dirty trick; the e-mails damaged our national security.
