are we looking at a clinton debacle in wisconsin come november [View all]

yes i know sander is still in the mix
and yes i will vote for her should she win

but here is what i see.
i am active with my local party

earlier this year i tried to help find a way to plug a member into the hilary campaign local operation...turns out there was none.

last night i found out that a local party member has pretty much been assured of delegate status to philly because he is the ONLY male candidate in the whole damn cd to apply for the hrc male slot thru the caucus with a desire to advance.....wtf seriously wtf?????

seems that in each of the local party caucuses, bernie bots outnumbered hrc supporters by large number.

I am also see a turn on facebook with a hardening by hrc supporters towards bernie folks actually saying they are not real democrats and should put up and shut up. These include former state party and milwaukee county party officials not the supposed riff raff

in my county the bernie bots are the few folks who actually showed up and marched in the parades and manned the county fair booth and made the phone bank phone calls.

what i fear is an experience i had with the barrett for gov push back a few years ago....it was brat days in sheboygan....March in the parade...Russ feingold had a bunch of folks...Tom showed up with NO support other than paid staff....My kid and i put on barrett shirts over the feingold shirts to make it look a bit more respectable...It was that day i knew we would be saying governor walker...

I fear a complete and utter power failure outside of milwaukee county I fear hrc could take russ down with her
