Thom Hartmann and Robert Reich on the state of the primary race and why Bernie should fight on.

Can we still build a Progressive Movement within the Democratic Party?

Are we ever, as a nation, going to decide to really change for the greater good?

Every chance this country gets to make some real change, we shoot it down. Yes, President Obama has dug us out of a recession, yes we've made good progress. We call ourselves Progressives but every time a candidate runs on a Progressive platform, a real progressive platform, we spit in his/her face. A couple of years ago, before anyone announced for 2016, if you had asked anyone on the left if they supported the idea of a single payer system they would have said absolutely, ask anyone on the left if what they thought of the idea of debt free college they would have been on board in a heartbeat, ask anyone on the left what they think of a $15 minimum wage, they will support it. Though this year we've done it again. A candidate ran on a platform of serious Progressive values and the same people who would have told you they agree with all of his proposals had it not been an election year, have now voted him down. I'm starting to truly believe that America will never achieve these goals, not in my lifetime.

I'm a proud Bernie supporter, but this is why I will #VoteBlueNoMatterWho.

I'm In It To Win It. | Bernie Sanders

Sanders Press Release: I'm (Still) In It To Win It.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Declaring that he is “in this campaign to win and become the Democratic nominee,” U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday told a rally at Purdue University that he is the Democrats’ best hope to defeat Donald Trump in November.

“If you want the candidate who will be the strongest nominee, you’re looking at that candidate right now,” Sanders told 2,267 cheering supporters at the rally in a student center. “The reason I am the strongest candidate is that our campaign is appealing not just to Democrats but to independents all over this country and even some Republicans.”

In poll after poll, Sanders fares much better than Hillary Clinton in matchups with Trump and other Republican White House hopefuls.

Sanders’ appeal to independents was evident on Tuesday when he won by 12-points in Rhode Island, a state with an open primary where independents could vote. That outcome should send a message to delegates going to the Democratic National Convention this summer, he said.
