In reply to the discussion: If Bernie Wins California, Should Hillary Step Down? [View all]NanceGreggs
(27,813 posts)... that the purpose of Democratic primaries is for ALL Democrats to have a voice in who their nominee is, regardless of what state they live in?
Thus far, the Bernie crowd have found one reason or another to completely discount every state that Bernie lost: too red, too diverse, too "southern", too "Confederate" - I'm actually waiting to hear things like "too hot in the summer, too cold in the winter, too rainy, too dry, too crowded, too just plain yukky."
I'm pretty confident that Hillary will win California - so I'm waiting to see what excuse there will be for not counting Cali either: Too hippy-dippy? Too close to the ocean? Too many trees? Too few outlet malls?
It's been the cry of the BS supporters since Iowa: Let's just NOT count the states that Bernie didn't win, m'kay?
