Even if Clinton’s Already Won, A Vote for Sanders Can Help Defeat Trump

Why are those Sanders idiots still voting/voting for Sanders when Hillary has already WON? A CLUE for the CLUELESS...

. . .

Big wins by Sanders in the June 7 contests – in Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota and the big enchilada in California – will give him the maximum momentum (and number of delegates) to go into the Democratic Convention with the ability to shape the party rules to make the nominating system more democratic – and write a party platform that can help Hillary to defeat Trump in November.

While some warn that a platform written by Sanders delegates would be too radical, the country is in a radical mood. And the ideas Bernie has built his campaign around are hugely popular with the kind of voters Democrats (and Clinton) need to attract in the general election – young people, union members and working-class voters, African Americans, Latinos, and women. Poll after poll (and election after election) throughout the primary season have demonstrated huge support for the issues Sanders has been talking about: reversing economic inequality, big investments in infrastructure and green jobs, the need for a new trade policy, Medicare for all, an end to mass incarceration, and his promise to break up the big banks, for example. These are the messages Democrats and Clinton will need to win the support of Sanders supporters – and the millions of independent and working class voters – they need in order to prevail in November.

And please don't repost one of the theoretical "here's how Bernie wins" scenarios. If my team is up 45-0 with one minute to go in the fourth quarter, I'm going to say we won, even though I realize the clock hasn't run out. That's were the contest stands now.
