BREXIT takeaway: Do not underestimate angry white people

Democrats need to work hard on GOTV every day from now until Election Day. The U.K. just let angry, xenophobic, nationalists throw it into unprecedented chaos. The US cannot afford the same

Who is going to be the Republican nominee...

Say, you, like me are now convinced that Donald J. Trump will not be the republican on the ballot in November, who do you think would replace him? Ryan? Romney? Someone else?

The scant coverage of Bernie's "Speech"

I did not see much media coverage. Heck even McCain and Romney get more coverage and neither are actively seeking the presidential nomination of a major political party. CNN's coverage on their website even says it's a rehash of his regular stump speech. I guess people are over it?

At this point the Dems need to cut their losses with Bernie

It is evident that he's not willing to endorse or support Hillary or the Dems unless he gets to play victor even after losing the primary. The DNC just needs to cut him out and ignore him, any of his die hard supporters who were not supporting Hillary in the GE are not going to support her no matter what. It is obvious that Bernie will find a way to bitch and moan even after the convention is over--so let's not give him a DNC platform to do it. The press will start ignoring him once we get more into GE mode and he'll eventually just be giving interviews to fringe media only.

Bernie running as an independent

I am not even close to being a fan of this man, but the idea is ridiculous. He's not completely insane. He knows Nader's life for the last 15 years and I am sure is not eager to live that in his dotage. Right now, he has the DNC and Hillary trying their best to be as accommodating as possible because they need his endorsement. If he runs independent, he looses any say he has over platform or anything else to do with the Democratic Party. He'll become a parish to the party he has spent his congressional career aligning with.
