Here's another reason Bernie needs to stay in until the Convention.

To put it in a nutshell, he should stay in to make the rich pay! The longer he stays in the more Hillary will need to hit them up for more moola and perhaps she'll need to access her own modest multi-million dollar nestegg. Let them all empty their pockets and contribute to trickle-down economics. And those "alleged" paid Hilbot trolls, -they should be on their knees thanking Bernie for their continuing employment.

I'm with Bernie to November and Beyond. I have voted for democrats since I could vote for the last 18 years. Definitely not voting for a DINO. Not voting for Hillary.

because Clinton did not win today.

She got a net 81 delegates thus far. She still has not reached the magic winning number even with the super delegates (whose votes are not final until the convention.)

Discredit, disqualify, and demoralize.

It is math - 1, 2, 3.

Is it probable he will get 73% of the remaining delegates (not supers!)? No.

Is it possible? Yes.

A lot can happen between now and the July convention.

....

Thats the problem we have with Hillary begging her corporate buddies for donations (which we cannot get the Hillary supporters to understand!).........the more she gets from them, the more they'll expect in return.

Figure multiples of from 10x to 100x in direct kickbacks.

From us, the US tax payers.

will she have to pay them back?

Or will they just cut her off... no more speaking engagements or Foundation donations?

She may end up dead broke.

But, they know that she is.
Hell, any journalist worth his salt knows it.

And so does the GOP!

These rich folks don't know what to do with their money anyway.

Go ahead. Give it to Hillary. We are going to watch her and see what you get back for your money if she wins.

And Bernie needs to stay in because we need to show our muscle. Hillary is not feeling very comfortable, and I am really glad.
