Bernie had alot more leverage a few weeks ago. [View all] DCBob Jun 2016 OP

I agree... tallahasseedem Jun 2016 #1

If he keeps saying stuff like that there is no way he gets a speaking spot. DCBob Jun 2016 #2

Nope not a chance jimw81 Jun 2016 #33

He probably could have been veep, in fact he probably still could if he worked it ucrdem Jun 2016 #3

I like your comment "So to Bernie and his idealistic supporters I salute you" DCBob Jun 2016 #5

Yes he was kind of a foil to Trump ucrdem Jun 2016 #8

Third that here too. :) Hortensis Jun 2016 #44

Great comment and true. nt. Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #6

He wouldn't gain anything by being vp in her administration. What power would she give him? JudyM Jun 2016 #7

Thanks and likewise! ucrdem Jun 2016 #9

support, not endorsement larkrake Jun 2016 #30

There is no support without endorsement Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #46

Yes, as many predicted. nt BootinUp Jun 2016 #4

That's what I've been saying. MoonRiver Jun 2016 #10

I'm sure that's what Hillary told him earlier this evening when they met azurnoir Jun 2016 #21

She needs him and his supporters. Especially his supporters. kerry-is-my-prez Jun 2016 #24

But here we are being told how insignificant Bernie is azurnoir Jun 2016 #25

Hillarie's, Obama's, Reid's, and Biden's actions and the rest of the parties actions say otherwise. kerry-is-my-prez Jun 2016 #72

So 43 percent of primary voters are irrelevant too? Armstead Jun 2016 #43

No, only a few of them are irrelevant metroins Jun 2016 #57

That's if the DNC doesn't think the long game. NWCorona Jun 2016 #11

Peaking in the sense LoverOfLiberty Jun 2016 #61

I think that's more or less right. Adrahil Jun 2016 #12

baloney. It is not dems that Hillary needs, it is indys and progressives larkrake Jun 2016 #29

She has them. What she doesn't have is the BOB-ers. randome Jun 2016 #64

Sanders lost much of his leverage when Warren endorsed Clinton Tarc Jun 2016 #13

Sanders does not have much leverage given California and DC Gothmog Jun 2016 #14

Yes be did. He should have struck while the iron was hot. sufrommich Jun 2016 #15

What is striking? Armstead Jun 2016 #35

Hillary Clinton won the goddamned election.Every fucking sufrommich Jun 2016 #55

Clinton felt entitled after 2008...and was rewarded with a key cabinet position Armstead Jun 2016 #56

Bernie metroins Jun 2016 #58

You have no idea if Clinton "bargained for a perch",I see a lot of sufrommich Jun 2016 #59

Bernie IS making it about him and what HE wants. LuvLoogie Jun 2016 #60

Bernie doesn't need or want your leverage. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #16

What a surprise. Another nasty Clintonite thread about how they need but don't need progressives. nt w4rma Jun 2016 #17

You are not progressive. Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #49

Yes, if only progressives were more like disposable wipes. peace13 Jun 2016 #54

you authoritarians just don't get it, and never will. Doctor_J Jun 2016 #18

Bernie has destroyed his reputation Renew Deal Jun 2016 #19

+1 CorkySt.Clair Jun 2016 #23

He "destroyed" his reputation the day he challenged the Annointment Armstead Jun 2016 #38

He did what he had to do. peace13 Jun 2016 #52

Then obviously he isn't needed on Hillary's campaign trail azurnoir Jun 2016 #22

There is sound logic to that view. Maru Kitteh Jun 2016 #27

Wanna bet? tirebiter Jun 2016 #31

I trust Bernie to make these decisions for himself. aikoaiko Jun 2016 #32

Luckily how much leverage he has has nothing to do with your personal opinion but highprincipleswork Jun 2016 #34

Clinton finished very strong. Nt NCTraveler Jun 2016 #37

Good thing. How many did she lose in a row, before her strong finish? peace13 Jun 2016 #53

She had a strong start, a strong middle, and a strong finish. LuvLoogie Jun 2016 #62

I would have to look it up. Not one hundred percent sure. NCTraveler Jun 2016 #68

They are still looking at CA. peace13 Jun 2016 #69

I understand. I think Clinton will expand here lead. NCTraveler Jun 2016 #70

Good luck to you. : ) peace13 Jun 2016 #71

Yes he should just have slunk away and left 43 percent stranded Armstead Jun 2016 #39

Its basically a team sport and Bernie and his supporters are on the Dem team.. correct?? DCBob Jun 2016 #48

I was thinking that too, yesterday obamanut2012 Jun 2016 #40

Very true workinclasszero Jun 2016 #66
