Is it any surprise how little sanders supporters know about

Bernie?...no surprise to me.. super delegatees know what I know and the end result is sanders is destroyed by GOP. Too bad Hillary took the high road and did not go at Bernie record and past dealings... but is done...and we move on to the general with our nominee..

and yet just days before every single state primary there is this mad rush to allow independents to vote in closed primaries, acting as if this is some shock.

It's fake shock. They've repeated these stunts just before or after every single primary. Surely somebody thought to look ahead and check after the first time. It's like the process is revolutionary.

This week she proved she was the one to beat him.....next week she will have the delegates and votes to put Angry Bernie back in his box.

They elect Bernie and then the magic unicorn takes over and the world is all sparkly and beautious.

That one word would be the first place the GOP would start on him. They have plenty more ammo where that came from too.

...we regularly saw cars that had bumper-stickers with the name Clinton's "C" replaced with a hammer and sickle. Don't they find it the least bit strange that the GOP has nothing bad to say about their prophet? Can they really believe that this is because they are "afraid" of him? The only thing that could assuage their understandable concern over tRump as their nominee would be for us to choose Bernie as ours.

6. I think a significant number project what the feel on Sanders

One person I met at the caucus claimed one the day Bernie took office he would abrogate America's membership in NAFTA and the WTO as well as every other trade agreement we've ever had.

It seems on the day he takes office Bernie will be very busy, because that is a theme with these claims.

On the day he takes office he will take over and notionalize the big banks

On the day he takes office he will end fracking.

On the day he will etc.

Each of the people making these claims seems to think their issue is the number one issue and Bernie is right up there with them. It's difficult to give up on someone that thinks exactly like you do.

Bernie will not need the cooperation of either the House or the Senate to accomplish his goals. The SCOTUS will stand idly by while he, personally, reverses Citizens United. No state governments (which are really scary places in many places of the country) will not do a THING to thwart his actions.

These are the reasons I have had serious questions about Bernie from the very start.
