Stand Strong Berners and Don't Let Nevada derail our efforts

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

We got this guys!

1. How does that chart say anything about the outcome of the primary?

[senz]

4. Says Clinton goin' down.

Down down da down down da down down down!

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

5. Well it shows that his campaign hasn't been as big a failure as many paint it...

And it also points out that this ain't over yet. Sanders strongest base of financial support is coming from California. Also the New Jersey poll that came out has him down but New Jersey allows independents to vote in the primary if they declare that day and the poll also had a low youth turnout in it which is not accurate based on all the primaries thus far having youth turnouts closer to 2008 levels and in some states even surpassing that.

13. It's only a failure in the sense that he's losing.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

18. This isn't a football game...

This is about the future of the progressive movement. I will stand with him and fight the establishment to whatever end

[griffi94]

20. You're right. It's not a football game

It's a primary election where the winner goes on to
be our nominee.

There are two candidates.
Hillary and Bernie.

Bernie is losing.

Bernie will not be our nominee.
He's losing by enough delegates that he can'r catch up now.

Hillary will be our nominee.

Bernie campaign is only a failure in the sense that he will not be the nominee.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

21. Woosh....

When we end up with a Drumpf presidency then maybe you'll get the point, but probably not... You'll just wail on about Nader comparisons

[griffi94]

22. If you're implying that we should make Bernie our nominee

because you feel he's more electable.
Allow me to point out.
That's not how primaries work.

Hillary is ahead of Bernie by hundreds of delegates and
millions of votes.

So the majority of primary voters feel like she's the best choice
for our nominee.

If she loses in the GE to Trump.
Well that will be a bummer.
But it will be because Trump got more votes.

That's how elections work.

Hard to make the argument that Bernie would be the best Democrat to be the nominee when he can't win the primary.

No chance the primaries get overturned on the opinion
of Bernie supporters that only Bernie can win.

Bernie lost.
He's not going to be the nominee.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

24. You are the one who keeps implying...

That the only reason to keep fighting for and supporting Bernie is in the hope he is nominee, our support transcends this corrupt DNC party and this election cycle, it is the building of a new progressive movement to undo the horrific damage DINOs and turd way Democrats have wrought upon our society

[griffi94]

25. Oh. I see

Raging against the machine.

Carry on.

[senz]

28. Hillary has not won.

You seem to be hung up on win/lose with no thought whatsover about what it all means, so let me remind you that your "team" has not yet won.

Got that, player: Hill has not won.

Plus: your "team," if it were to win, would lose to Trump, so then you could join Trump's "team." Rah rah.

Additionally, your "team," due to its recklessness and lawlessness, just might end up under indictment.

Wouldn't that be interesting?

Go team!

[griffi94]

30. She has won

No path for Bernie now.

There aren't enough contests left for him to
close the gap.

Hillary will be our nominee.

Sorry

[senz]

31. Nope. Doesn't have the numbers.

Doesn't have the nomination.

Live with it, sports fan.

[griffi94]

32. Yeah OK

She'll be the nominee.

Then onward to the GE.

[senz]

2. Where the hell have you been?

We've missed ya.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

3. I needed a break, after New York the Hillary people were downright vile here...

Needed to recharge and evade all the negativity from them.

[senz]

6. I don't blame you. I do this in a spirit of self-sacrifice

because I'm old and there's not going to anyone as good as Bernie again in what's left of my lifetime.

But I agree with your assessment. I used to think Republicans were the ugliest things on the planet.

[Todays_Illusion]

7. This is the second Nevada event and just one more of a long line of dirty tricks the HC campaign has

deployed this election year. And it was these tactics that firmed up my opinion about HC, and reinforced my support for Bernie Sanders.

8. Happy to see ya back GP! nt

[anotherproletariat]

9. Come on guys...just a few more riots, and we've got this! nt

[senz]

10. A few more vote thefts and y'all can kiss it goodbye.

[anotherproletariat]

11. Here are some more good excuses for you...

[senz]

14. No explanations needed.

I know stinkin' when I see stinkin.'

[KingFlorez]

12. He doesn't have enough damn delegates

All the charts in the world aren't going to change that.

[senz]

16. Neither does queenie.

[pacalo]

15. She's not known for regaining her rating losses, either.

Thank you for posting, GeorgiaPeanuts!

[senz]

17. Hell, she lost me in 2008.

All that racist crap she threw at Obama.

Ew.

[pacalo]

19. I had no idea she was so underhanded & dirty.

I had my hopes on Wes Clark & wasn't paying much attention to her dishonest antics. My eyes are wide open now.

23. Standing Proud--No Need to Take David Brock Seriously n/t

[highprincipleswork]

26. Keep on keeping on. And we're fighting a righteous cause.

[Bleacher Creature]

27. Nevada derailed his efforts on February 20th.

[NanceGreggs]

29. What utter nonsense.

The order in which states hold their primaries has no impact on the overall race.

Had the southern states that Hillary swept voted in the second half rather than the first, one could claim that her support was skyrocketing, while Bernie's was declining.

In the end, it's all about votes and delegates. When in the schedule those votes are cast is irrelevant to the outcome.

I can't believe this actually has to be explained on a website where people consider themselves well-versed in politics.

[MrMickeysMom]

33. Keep telling yourself that...

At least one person believes it.

[NanceGreggs]

34. A million people believing it ...

... doesn't make it true.
