Please do not moan to me about Hillary Clinton's problems

Sen. Bernie Sanders rejects the premise set up by MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell about his continued presence in the Democratic race negatively impacting Clinton in the general election, saying he is on equal footing with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and can still win.

"Oh, really? Andrea, in every state that we have won, in 19 states, we have had to take on the entire Democratic establishment. We have had to take on senators and governors and mayors and members of Congress, so please do not moan to me about Hillary Clinton's problems," Sanders said.

"I don't think I was moaning about Hillary Clinton's problems," Mitchell responded.

"I know it's a steep climb. ... We still have the possibility of coming in with the majority of pledged delegates," Sanders added.

Same result. He knows from what he told Chris he can't win delegate-wise but plans to use polls to appeal to the supers at the convention. I can't think of anything worse for this country or his situation.

I assume you were equally outraged in 2008 when Clinton was saying the same things

Sanders is arguing that SD's who represent states where Sanders won decisively should reflect those results. (He has also said Clinton SD from states where she won decisively should do the same for her.)

102. Do you know the "supposed" purpose of superdelegates? I do, and it isn't so they can be purchased or

threatened by a candidate to vote for them. Nor is it as some are now trying to spin, "so they and regular people can both feel warm and fuzzy by being part of the convention."


You see he superdelegates are supposed to support the one that will win the GE and not lose it, current trends show that Sanders would be that guy, of course in order to keep the people fooled that believe they are supposed to vote mostly as tie breakers, (that is not their actual intended purpose)

Sanders will have to bring down that 250+ pledged delegate deficit to a much smaller margin, one in the single digits or double digits perhaps depending on just how unelectable Clinton is in the GE at the time of the convention.

For the record however, again - the superdelegates do have a purpose and it is not a "feel good, I get to be involved!" purpose. It is "about the business of winning again" to quote one of the Committee members that formed the rule change that brought the Superdelegates into being.

NERMEEN SHAIKH: And, Professor Rohde, could you explain why the Democratic Party came up with the superdelegate system and whether the Republican Party follows the same system?

DAVID ROHDE: Let me take the second part first. The Republicans have—do have some superdelegates, but it’s—I believe the number is three per state. So it’s not very important. It’s for the national party representatives from the state.
The reason that the Democrats adopted the superdelegate plan was really because of the possibility of insurgent candidates, not for their own sake, but insurgent candidates who might not be successful in general elections. So it doesn’t do the party a lot of good to nominate a candidate that reflects the wishes of the party and then to go on and lose the general election. And the poster child for this, of course, was George McGovern, and that—who was an insurgent candidate, won out against the party establishment and then got beaten by 20 points in the national election in a gigantic landslide.

So, the Hunt Commission, the commission that was looking at various aspects of the way the party was organized, after the 1980 election, thought that having superdelegates—and they—in the Democratic Party, they are the members of the National Committee, of which there are a little more than 400, Democratic members of the U.S. House, Democratic members of the U.S. Senate and Democratic governors. And that adds up to 712. And the Hunt Commission thought that having those elected officials play a part in choosing the nominee would be a partial balance that would give more weight to the considerations of electability than might otherwise be placed by the delegates that were elected in the primaries and caucuses.

AMY GOODMAN interview FEBRUARY 11, 2016
DAVID ROHDE
professor of political science at Duke University and co-author of a series of books on every national election since 1980.
MATT KARP
assistant professor of history at Princeton University and contributing editor at Jacobin. His most recent article for Jacobin is "The War on Bernie Sanders.


Some history I've been reading regarding the supposed purpose of the Superdelegates and the reason for there existence:

To nominate a candidate who can win.

While the first two rationales are more procedural, the latter two have a somewhat more specific outcome in mind. For one thing, in light of what had happened in 1972 and 1980, there was some surprisingly frank discussion about the electability of the eventual nominee:

Gov. James B. Hunt Jr. of North Carolina is chairman of the 69-member commission reviewing party nominating rules for the fourth time since 1969. He began the first regional hearing by saying that the goal was to give ordinary Democrats ''greater faith and confidence in the nominating process.''

Victory Is the Objective

''We're about the business of winning again,'' he said, in describing the objective of the commission, which is to present recommendations for action by the national committee early next year. (NYT, 9/25/81)

Gov. James B. Hunt Jr. of North Carolina, who heads the latest Democratic rule-changing group, an unwieldy, 29-member agglomeration of the innocent and the experienced, describes its task as one of writing ''rules that will help us choose a nominee who can win and who, having won, can govern effectively.'' The rules will probably matter less than the unemployment rate to a Democratic victory in 1984. But the comments underscore a traditional motive for the task of rule-changing the Democratic National Committee will finish in March. Much of this year's deliberations have seemed infused with a desire to deny future nominations to political reincarnations of the Jimmy Carter of 1976. (NYT, 1/27/82)

The concept was spawned at a meeting of party leaders after the Republicans scored smashing victories in the 1980 elections. ''There was a strong feeling,'' he said.


One should also not count one's chickens before they are hatched and the MSM is using fraudulent numbers despite being told directly not to by the DNCs Communications director.



And just recently told by DWS herself not to include superdelegates in their counts on election coverage (I apologize for not finding that clip yet)

116. Take a poll of the entire electorate? This may sound rude, but did't read what you responded to?

They are supposed to pick the Most electable in the GE, the superdelegates specifically are supposed to pick who they think will win in the GENERAL ELECTION, that is their job, their entire purpose for being created, so what the hell does your response have to do with that whatsoever?

All the eligible voters in the nations cast these things called votes, these votes are tallied, most of these (I know these are big words but bear with me) VOTES are cast by a majority that is neither a member of the Democratic party, nor the (party elite, you are invoking).

I actually personally do not think superdelegates should exist, but they do, and because I don't run the party and neither do you, neither of us can change that.

Knowing they exist whether we like it or not, and knowing their intended purpose (to avoid losing an election via a disaster of a candidate), the only valid arguments one can or should make to them is not, "how much can I bribe you for your vote", or "My family is the mot powerful family in the party and I will destroy you politically if you don't vote for me"

But rather, I can win against the Republican opponent but my adversary can't. Do you get it or not? Or is this discussion way over your head, and I need to explain it as if to a two year old? (so far this post should make perfect sense to even a ten year old.)

18. It's the supposedly "tough" Hillary that's whining about Sanders continuing the race.

 

One would think she would welcome the challenge instead of whining about it. She really would like to have been anointed so she wouldn't have to undergo this terrible inconvenience.

And of course Clinton has Andrea Mitchell on her side, yuck. Maybe her husband will get a position in the Goldman-Sachs administration.

Congrats on getting the first response slot. Do you guys get a special tool to do that? It's happening more and more. How sad that it's that important to you. Especially since you think Clinton has the nomination sewed up.

42. Characterizing an interview with a highly subjective word

 

is pretty much the polar opposite of a "fact". You're welcome to your opinion, but youll find out it's a real mistake to try and vault it to the level of objective fact.

It's not a matter of uncomfortable questions.

She was whining that Sanders is mucking things up for Clinton.

He snapped back.

End of story...though I realize "whining" is a good way to dismiss a candidate as less than serious.

continue this race. She was people to pressure her opponent to quit. Wow, not so tough after all. But she has always been uncomfortable with having competition. She would have preferred to be anointed.

And I am disappointed that some calling themselves Democrats don't support the democratic process.

17. If you think Bernie can win more pledged delegates, then, yes, you are delusional.

I know a lot of funny math has been posted here in the last few weeks, but that doesn't change the numbers. If you only get your information from DU or other liberal blogs, then it might seem like this is a close race and maybe Bernie is even "winning" because of "momentum" or something. Today the "big" story is that someone related to someone who donated to Hillary had a company that showed up in some Panama Paper. And people think this is going to sink Hillary's campaign, she's going to resign and let Bernie have it. Because some guy nobody heard of is related to someone else who's name showed up somewhere that nobody cares about.

No. It's all delusion. Hillary has this easily. The numbers are the numbers, look at them carefully.

20. The core problem is that Hillary

sucks like a Hoover in orbit around a black hole. More specifically, she's untrustworthy because of the many cases in which she has lied. Also, she doesn't have a reason to run for prez that she has communicated to people. The rank and file dems seem to have gone for that, but the rest of the country isn't. Her supporters ignore all this.

49. I think they'll suffer equally under either a Trump or Clinton presidency.

I don't trust that she'll do much of anything to thwart income inequality or take on Wall Street.

In fact, she may even be worse. When she tries to means-test Social Security (effectively killing it), she will have the backing of all the Third Way Democrats and all of the Republicans. If Trump tried that, the Democrats would stand up to him on Party principle and half the Republicans wouldn't want anything to do with his proposals.

93. Absotuley not

I liked Bernie at one time. As I have stated I voted for him in Ohio.I kind of liked the pushing the party left idea. I knew Bernie would not win Ohio even though it is an open primary. But now after he has lost the primary and refuses to concede...no. I am done with Bernie. I can't stand him. Should he manage to steal the primary which is the only way he could win...IE has fewer delegates than Hillary...I would not vote. He would lose anyway so I don't have to vote for a cheater and overall bad person. I don't vote for people who are selected rather than elected. The only way Bernie would get my vote is to win the delegates. At that point, I would hold my nose and vote for him. In my opinion, he has no shot of winning the GE after the swiftboating coming his way, but if he had the most delegates, I would do my part to stop the horror of a Trump presidency. If he overturned the will of the voters...never.

35. For one I love that the media keeps replaying this clip of Sanders. This one makes him look bad...

 

nothing more than a selfish old man who is putting his own desire to stay in the spotlight ahead of the good of the party and the country. How much more evidence do the super delegates need that he is not a loyal party member, and does not deserve any of their votes? Keep talking like this and you will be cutting your 'small thread of a chance'. I mean it...please keep talking!

His idealism was cute for a while, but it's time to grow up. To quote Obama... "If you think that the only way forward is to be as uncompromising as possible, you will feel good about yourself, you will enjoy a certain moral purity, but you’re not going to get what you want. And if you don’t get what you want long enough, you will eventually think the whole system is rigged. And that will lead to more cynicism, and less participation, and a downward spiral of more injustice and more anger and more despair. And that's never been the source of our progress. That's how we cheat ourselves of progress."

Same thing Hillary does. . .slogans, not plans. "we want Wall Street to work for us" as opposed to "split the big banks up". You can say all the words you want, passionately declare your slogans, but none of that compares to listing what you want to do in practical terms.

I never thought he would take Ohio...not his kind of place although we do have open primaries and if the cons were not busy voting for Trump they would have screwed around with our primary. I wanted to move Hillary left...I like Bernie's ideas... but don't think he can win a general. I still don't. So my college kids and I went out and voted for Bernie...they were thrilled when I voted for him. Their next suggestion was a tattoo in honor of the occasion, but I hate needles. My kids by the way still like Bernie. I don't. He has seriously annoyed me. I see a woman's right to choose among other things disappearing if Trump gets elected, and I just think Bernie is hurting the effort to win the general. The kids will vote for Hillary because they have a brain. I am also sick of the blackmailing...he lost. That is it. I loved Howard Dean in 04 and felt awful when he did not win. So I know it hurts.

99. Yes, I cross posted that in the BS group

in GDP there are people saying that hundreds of thousands of votes that Bernie obtained in the caucuses (which are not counted in the pop vote totals) don't matter. Of course not. Only votes that go to Queen Hillary matter.

60. Maybe Sanders wouldn't have had to battle with all those elected Democrats in those 19 states

if he had been a Democrat to begin with, and not become one out of self interest when he decided to run for president.

He's entitled to stay in the race until the last state has voted, but he's misguided if he really thinks that the super delegates are going to hand him the nomination when he lags in pledged delegates and is not even close in the popular vote.

Oh, and his response to Andrea Mitchell was rude.

62. He can't handle being challenged!

He loses it and literally shouts over anyone who dares to question his version of reality. It's either a bullying technique or he's just super defensive and thin skinned, like Trump.

69. I might have to agree

I'd have to hear the audio maybe.

Edit:I listened. It wasn't that bad, and she shouldn't be questioning his candidacy if she's impartial :p

103. It doesn't surprise me that you and the Shrinking Bernie Support Crew don't see the hysterical irony

and insanity of someone running to lead the DEMOCRATIC PARTY saying how often and how hard he's had to fight DEMOCRATS.

That, better than anything in the world, explains why he is losing this primary so incredibly badly and why Sanders' support among the true Democratic base has been abysmal from Day 1.

105. It isn't irony. We FDR/Union Labor Democrats are deliberately

 

trying to take our party back. It isn't irony at all. I know who the traditional Democratic base is, because I am one, and have been for 50+ years.

112. The "traditional" Democratic base is the one that's giving Hillary Clinton the nomination

And if you consider minorities and women the groups you "need to take the Democratic party back from" then that too explains why Sanders is getting his behind handed to him.

But, you knew that.

114. You can plug your hands in your ears and scream at reality as much as you'd like. No one gives the

first damn.

And if you want to deny that it is black and Hispanic voters, gay voters and women that are giving Hillary the vote and that Sanders' appeal appears to be primarily limited to white men, no cares about that either.

120. Sanders has not won a single constituency in the black community and that includes youth

If you're going to chime into a conversation all late and shit, you could at least know what you're talking about.

WTF is right. Democratic establishment has openly opposed Bernie. It will be their own demise if he loses.

104. The Democratic BASE has been incredibly opposed to Bernie Sanders. See his support among minorities

women and gay voters.

If the party doesn't want to "save itself" according to your logic, it may have less to do with saving itself as it does with the caliber of the person chosen by outsiders to do the "saving".
