Its kinda like a denial stage can happen when losing ........its a human reaction to all of us at times
And it is now seems to be on full display in the campaign of Bernie Sanders. I do not blame the Sanders campaign for this. It is part of the natural life cycle of campaigns. It is human nature.
Campaign psychosis has the following symptoms; grasping at straws, wishful thinking, and in its final stages, outright hypocrisy that everyone outside the campaign can hear clear as a bell.
One of the first features of campaign psychosis is the traditional grasping at straws. Arguments were made in a widely-covered campaign phone briefing to journalists on the morning of March 28th with Sanders campaign manager Tad Devine, that, hey, dont look at those states we lost on Super Tuesday. Those defeats are meaningless! Because Bernie didnt compete there! No, we just conceded all those states to Clinton, because they were in the South. But now that were not in the South, we are actually going to compete, and that changes everything! This argument was demolished that same evening, by one of the most Bernie-friendly of cable journalists, MSNBCs Rachel Maddow. She had evidence on her side, and quotes, and... evidence. She gently encouraged the Sanders team to walk back their statements because their arguments didnt hold water.

There's going to be millions of millennials looking to their X-Boxes and Play Stations for comfort after BS loses. A new game might come in handy.

(27,803 posts)watching the defense of that meltdown was interesting - denying that she speaks for Sanders, when she has actually gone out on the trail with him.
