That's pretty incendiary to even mention.

[bobbobbins01]

1. Its only a shade better than sticking with Clinton.

It would still bring down the wrath of Zeus on the party though.

[MFM008]

2. Wow

Talk about the cart leading the horse.

[Eric J in MN]

8. Bernie Sanders agrees. He said that question is 'speculating two-fold.' NT

NT

[mythology]

10. You would think that they would be voting for him if the American public knows it

It's really hard to claim that the guy who is trailing by a substantial margin has the support of the people.

[Dem2]

26. Ridiculous conspiracy theories is all you got?

You're not helping Bernie with this BS.

[Dem2]

38. So you're just here to make things up

and toss ad hominem's at anybody who disagrees? Got it.

You know that in both Brooklyn and AZ it was Hillary that lost votes?

[redstateblues]

28. Hillary has 3 Million more votes than Bernie

Have you been following the primaries?

[madokie]

34. Sam you got that right

Not one fucking thing is as it seems when it come to delegate counts and votes in this dem primary. By Hook or by Crook is Hillary and company

[Dem2]

37. Proof?

[Ichingcarpenter]

4. Biden is A RAT LINE to the hold on to the corrupt power structure

That they don't want disturbed or disrupted.

[kayakjohnny]

7. !

[Cali_Democrat]

13. How do you feel about the fact that Democratic voters prefer Hillary over Bernie?

[Ichingcarpenter]

18. Actually I don't care, the masses are easily manipulated

to accept a corrupt system that is destroying the planet and against their own interest...........

Sure the Republicans are worse but you have as a presidential front runner
that her husband goes to the assholes summer house and vacations with a war criminal family that started the Iraq war.

Bi ....... fucking partisan
my ass.

Then she voted for Bush's war.

Third way............... delusion.

[redstateblues]

29. Bernie is an expert

at manipulating the masses. Promising things he knows he can never deliver gets him a lot of voters

[JPnoodleman]

27. Party loyalists who unthinkingly support a big name out of loyalty?

What else is there to think other than that some people need to put their mind before some blind sense of loyalty.

[jwirr]

5. Yeah just wipe out half of the delegates because one of the

candidates blew it. Sorry that will not go over even if Biden is a nice guy.

[RandySF]

6. Of course he'll say that.

[PufPuf23]

9. If something happens to Hillary Clinton, I would expect the DNC / Democratic establishment

to attempt to replace Sanders with an establishment candidate.

I even wonder if the Democratic establishment and GOP would both favor Trump over Sanders.

I have mentioned at DU Biden foremost but also Kerry. I would prefer Kerry.

I much prefer Bernie Sanders.

I do think that Sanders is being faithful to the Democratic party despite the many contrary statements of Clinton supporters.

[KingFlorez]

11. Looks like he's aware that his only chance is to win by default

[Thinkingabout]

31. Except it will not default to Sanders, Hillary still has her pledged delegates,

She could release them to Biden or whomever. This is why it does not make any sense to hope Clinton is indicted. In fact it looks like the Sanders are bring investigated about Burlington College, looks like some fraud may be proven.

[CrowCityDem]

12. It's fair to screw voters to give HIM the nomination, but no one else? Way go, Bernie.

[Indpndntfrombirth]

14. I disagree

Biden is qualified and likeable. He is not a polarizing figure. HRC is absolutely repulsive to half the country.

[speaktruthtopower]

15. The real story is that Bernie is using the word INDICTED...

which is hitting below the belt if he doesn't know something.

[winter is coming]

17. He didn't use that word. Cenk did, when asking a question.

Bernie's response makes it clear that they're talking about a big hypothetical.

[Lodestar]

16. Who's being incendiary? This subject has been brought up in the media

and he's responding.

[oldandhappy]

19. Biden is a great veep and I thank him for supporting our president.

Do not try to step in without having been in the primaries. If that happens, you ain't seen nothin yet in terms of a revolt.

[jalan48]

20. If Hillary gets the nomination at the convention pay close attention to her VP choice.

That could be the Democratic Presidential choice on the ballot in November.

[StevieM]

24. No. It won't. Hillary will be the nominee and she will be our next president. (eom)

[jalan48]

36. I admire your optimism.

Big storm clouds ahead on the email front though, buckle up.

[LibDemAlways]

39. And the Republicans in Congress would immediately start

impeachment proceedings that would keep her plenty occupied and prevent even the incremental baby steps changes she's talked about from coming to the table. Clinton voters are incredibly naive if they think the Republican Congress wouldn't do everything possible to make sure she never accomplished a thing-- with the exception of launching a war in the Middle East. That, they'd support.

They wouldn't be happy to work with Bernie either, but at least they probably wouldn't have impeachment papers drawn up and ready to go before the inauguration.

[BuelahWitch]

23. Yeah, I'd vote for Al too

Not MBNA Joe who treated Anita Hill so shabbily

[StevieM]

25. It's a moot point. Hillary will not be indicted. She will be our nominee in the fall election.

And she will be our next president.

[redstateblues]

30. Yep
