...just think of how sweet it would be to get rid of DINO Debbie, Dino McCaskil, and the other corporate whores f'ing up the Democratic Party.

The demands for the primary to be over were deafening. That's not the sign of a confident team...they know something potentially fatal to the campaign is coming up, and want this over before it can damage the "inevitable" nomination.

"You can have the candidate you know exceeding well, Secretary Clinton, or you can have Senator Sanders. Choose."

The party' establishment needs to have a Plan B if the end result of all these governmental investigations is to give Secretary Clinton even worse negatives. We need Independent voters, Republicans thinking of bolting from the clown show, and Democrats who are ready to throw their hands up in disgust at the system and stay home. What these open primaries show is that there isn't much enthusiasm for Secretary Clinton outside of her known base.

Our party needs a candidate who can bring the young voters, disaffected Democrats, Independents, and some Republicans, to the polls for us. Clinton can steal some of the Republican's voters, but she won't get those angry at the establishment and Wall Street. Does anyone really think she can repeat what President Obama accomplished in 2008, or even come close?

enough to make people change their minds.

Plenty of Californians will opt for Hillary because they aren't paying attention.

If Bernie had more time they'd get to know him.

I don't see why New Yorkers need to be particularly loyal to Clinton, they should vote for their hometown boy.

June 7. New campaign offices are opening up all the time. Meanwhile, I read that Bernie out spent Hillary on ads in Washington by a ratio of 5-1.

Time to send Bernie more money.
