morning dew on a hot summer day.

That pervy shit doesn't go over well in the Bible belt.

Democrats have been too polite to mention Sanders' many failings--and his personal life, his writings, and a host of other issues are like ripe fruit waiting to be plucked.

Republicans wouldn't be so circumspect. That shit would be in the fan and splattering everywhere.

But it won't matter and it won't happen, because he's done. It's all down to math, and we'll just have to wait it out until he sees the futility of his situation, and his Best Paid Aides (Devine/Weaver) realize there's no more money to suck out of the machine. This will go on for awhile, but the result will be the same if he concedes now or next month or the month after.

The wall thing is his claim to fame oberliner Apr 2016 #53

And that's the kind of rhetoric he needed to get the repub nomination. BillZBubb Apr 2016 #43

He says the wall thing in every speech oberliner Apr 2016 #49

And he's still trying to lock up the republican nomination--just as I said. BillZBubb Apr 2016 #61

The meme is accurate, as it contains the date. nt silvershadow Apr 2016 #39

And yet, none of the polls from that date showed those results. So, no it isn't. Squinch Apr 2016 #42

Sanders is still enjoying his honeymoon phase. No one's really gone after him at all. grossproffit Apr 2016 #56

Yep.. got that right. DCBob Apr 2016 #73

That is now. Wait until the general. He hired someone to help him transition into general mode. silvershadow Apr 2016 #94
