The Nation: "Bernie Sanders Keeps Winning—and Pundits Don’t Like It"

[Attorney in Texas]

link to this AWESOME little report; excerpt:

While the political and media elites keep angling for an opening to declare that the race for the Democratic presidential nomination is finished—so they can concentrate on nothing other than their obsession with Donald Trump’s Republican circus—Bernie Sanders keeps complicating things.

By winning.

The senator from Vermont, who began his race against Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton with single-digit poll numbers, and a general assumption that a democratic socialist would never be a competitive candidate, has won eight state primaries and caucuses so far. ... In Maine, where Democrats lined up for hours to vote in packed caucuses, Sanders won 64 percent of the vote.

“{We} have now won by wide margins in states from New England to the Rocky Mountains and from the Midwest to the Great Plains,” Sanders declared on Sunday night.... Sanders is making this a real race. He is not merely attracting large crowds to rallies, getting unprecedented numbers of small donors to write checks, and battering billionaires. He is winning by wide margins in unexpected states such as Kansas (where the senator took 67 percent of the vote on Saturday) and Nebraska (where he beat Clinton by almost 10 points on the same day).... But Sunday belonged to Sanders. In Maine, where Democrats lined up for hours to vote in packed caucuses, it was Sanders who won 64 percent, to 36 for Clinton. There are plenty of primaries and caucuses to come. Clinton will score wins, as will Sanders. It’s a real race, and it won’t be finished for a good long while.

“The pundits might not like it,” Sanders explained on Sunday night, “but the people are making history.”

1. The pundits are about to be very happy.

[seekthetruth]

2. Why?

That the corporate media is not allowing democracy to fully occur by obscuring one candidate over another?????

4. It is sad that we have to

overcome cheating to win. But I think we can do it.

5. New Hillary Campaign slogan

I said this in a previous post discussing the intended chaos at the caucus, but I think it would make better campaign slogan. "If you can't beat 'em, Cheat 'em!"

3. Go Bernie!

I think Bernie will be our next President!

6. The pundits love horse races

So they do like it, I think

7. Hillary has more delegates and more votes.

9. About A 200 Delegate Lead

With over 4000 left undecided...and superdelegates dont count yet so hold onto that fuzzy math.

8. Clinton Campaign Loves Shallow Pundits

Just another indicator of whats wrong with this country. 82% of Republicans think we are headed in the wrong direction. Yes much is racism towards Obama. But a lot of it is accepting the reality that the economic inequality gap is REAL. Clinton will never be seen as a populist.

10. And how many of these pundits

have been paid off, or promised private audiences with Her Highness?

[Duval]

11. "but the people are making history" That's correct.

And it is what his revolution is all about. Getting all of us involved, having our voices heard, and voting!

Go Bernie Go!

12. Best talking-point of all to use against Hillary ...

Hillary Clinton
is a
Reagan-Democrat.



Personally, I prefer FDR-Democrats.

[TBF]

14. Uh, WRONG - it's HRC 658 to BS 471

Super delegates do not count until the convention. And we ARE taking this to the convention.

15. darn right! nt
