Showing up to the Bernie mosh

Showing up to the Bernie mosh pit gets his supporters out of their parents' basements! It's fun! It's exciting! It's a way to meet chicks! If Bernie could get the nomination (not going to happen), and then got elected President (no way), the revolution would die because they would then expect Bernie to actually deliver because they think he will. He won't because he can't .

We can all speculate about

We can all speculate about what it means when Sanders draws large crowds to a speech and Hillary doesn't. But the only objective evidence we have is that Hillary draws more crowds to the polls than Sanders. It's counted as votes and Hillary has about 2.5 million more of them.

No one, absolutely no one

No one, absolutely no one truly believes there should be no laws restricting abortion. If you support Roe then you support laws restricting abortions as Roe specifically states that the government has a vested interest and lays out a general compromise of when and how that interest can be legislated.

I support Hillary's balanced view on abortion. I support her view that the Hyde amendment be repealed. My guess is her position on abortion is roughly the same as Sanders.

In reply to Well you and many others don

of course, we all value HRC for her pragmatic approach. .. Again, I am where I have been, which is that if there’s a way to structure some kind of constitutional restriction that take into account the life of the mother and her health, then I’m open to that. But I have yet to see the Republicans willing to actually do that, and that would be an area, where if they included health, you could see constitutional action. ( source ) The Queen of Triangulation is at it again. Just before she said the preceding, she made sure to mention that her husband Bill, as president, vetoed late term abortion restrictions. Talk about playing both sides and trying to land in the middle. And that is fine when you’re arguing about marginal tax rates and shit like that. But Hillary just exposed herself as willing to hand conservatives back a little bit of the territory feminists and pro-choice advocates have carved out, as long as she got something in return. Did Hillary just recently wake up from a coma? President Obama has tried on several occasions — Obamacare’s single payer option, Guantanamo, and more — to play nicely with the current crop of Congressional Republicans. He’s gotten almost nothing but ongoing, eternal scandal “investigations” for it. Clinton’s musing on abortion actually remind me of every time Obama has floated the idea of changing Social Security or Medicare to try and entice sportsmanship from the GOP, only to be handed a turd sandwich to eat in the end. Hillary is showing her willingness to eat that turd sandwich. And all for very cynical, political reasons. http://modernliberals.com/major-problem-hillary-saying-shed-compromise-a...

Well you and many others don't care about her role in overthrowing democracies and instating military dictators right?

In reply to She has lost a little of that

Aside from 10-15% leads in New York and Pennsylvania, an almost meaningless statistic.

Her inability to draw large crowds to pep rallies remains a bitter disappointment to us all.

Rah rah ree! Kick 'em in the knee! Rah rah rass! Kick 'em in the.. other knee!!!

She has lost a little of that

In reply to All convincing explanations

She has lost a little of that glitter. The last picture I saw of her in public was in a garage this week speaking to several hundred people. Then last night the twitter feed showed the most amazing pictures of the crowd that turned out for Sanders in Washington Square. Her appeal is weaker then the media wants to admit.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

All convincing explanations and part of the puzzle but I think there may be a little something more.
