They are alienating ethnic

In reply to My honorable friend, Hillary

They are alienating ethnic minorities, Hillary supporters, and Sanders supporters who like Hillary, just not as much as they liked Sanders, or are pragmatic voters. The bernie brats are losing support even among the Sanders supporters.

eta: For the record, I'm not convinced Hillary has the electoral college locked up. I won't begin to think about that until the August state polls begin to come out. And even then, while more accurate, those polls will still be a snapshot in time. Future events in August, September, and October could change voter patterns. Polling this early is not accurate.

The hardcore Sanders

In reply to They are alienating ethnic

The hardcore Sanders supporters do seem to be amazingly tone deaf. We have addressed the arrogance of the BernieBros repeatedly. Instead of working on a new game plan, they continue to insist that their loser candidate would have done better in the general election. The only thing holding him back from winning the general election was that more Democrats voted against him than for him.He could have been a contender if he wasn't such a loser.

The Bernie supporters want to have the same old arguments. Sanders lacked the vision to create the beauty of the speeches heard at the Democratic convention. We would have had four boring days of millionaires and billionaires with the same lack of joy that was seen at the RNC.

Better to have voters

In reply to Only 28% of Americans trust

Better to have voters distrust you yet vote for you than to trust you and not vote for you. Just sayin'. I never knew people expected to "trust" politicians at all - I thought they were all supposed to be lying self-serving bastards and if we got them to keep a few promises we'd be doing well. AFAIK, how Hillary made money when not on the government nickel wasn't my concern. So far she's struck me as smart enough not to issue a "no new taxes"-like promise that she'd have to reverse.

My honorable friend, Hillary

In reply to You realize good sir, that

My honorable friend, Hillary has the electoral college sown up. Bernie did not generate enthusiasm among blacks or Latinos, two groups the Democrats need to win the Presidency. Bernie Sanders had monochromatic appeal. I mentioned that Roland Martin observed that black delegates were really to roll and match any protest by BernieBros during last night's speeches. Sanders and his hardcore supporters faced the same dilemma as Occupy Wall Street, a failure of good organization and a failure of diversity. The BernieBros are alienating ethnic minorities, virtually assuring that the Sanders revolution will burn out.

This is a ridiculous

In reply to You realize good sir, that

This is a ridiculous simplification of a complex situation. There is no way we can predict what will or what would have happened over the course of a general election campaign. One stupid statement can create a media narrative that can flip the race. The republican attack machine or the democrat attack machine can be successful or less than successful in creating a picture of the candidate that sways voters. There is insufficient evidence to make any prophecies what so ever though prophets on all sides will predict their victory. Intelligent people will look at the paucity of data and reject them all.

In reply to Hal, numbers are our friends.

You realize good sir, that the fact that the mass majority of Americans not trusting her makes her weaker in the general election, therefore Bernie would be a better candidate in the general election.

What is really funny/ironic

CVille Dem — Thu, 28 Jul 2016 17:13:49 +0000

In reply to Hal, we've largely stopped

What is really funny/ironic/not funny/sad...is that if Hillary came out tonight and said that it is clear that Bernie deserved to win and because of that she will work to enact every single one of his issues, including all the attendant raised taxes, that she will not only never darken the door of a bank again, that she will only consider war as an option after Chelsea becomes a Marine, and will appoint Bernie to any Cabinet post of his choosing...

Hal would come back and say -- "Too bad we just can't believe one word the liar says."

Peter, Hillary lost in 2008

PeraclesPlease — Thu, 28 Jul 2016 17:10:14 +0000

In reply to Hal, i hope you realize that

Peter, Hillary lost in 2008 when she couldnt get Michigan & Florida restored, and didnt primary Obama in 2012, and somehow didnt steal the primary in Michigan this year nor get those caucus systems she'd lost in 2008 repealed. The funny thing is, she didnt even ask to change the long-standing rules, and even with the number of debates she acquiesced to more.

So apparently she's not such a domineering all-powerful Red Queen after all. So with that, could you just kindly Shut the Fuck Up? Thought not, never mind.

Hal, i hope you realize that

In reply to It is personal which is very

Hal, i hope you realize that you are setting yourself up for the 'Nader treatment'. The Clintonites don't accept anything except blind submission to the Red Queen and your continued calls for actually examining this cult is seen as heresy and will not be forgotten or forgiven. Even though Bernie was part of the cult his actions during his sheepdogging campaign, where he briefly saw an opportunity for power, mean he will never be forgiven and his total submission to the cause now hasn't changed the dynamics of the attacks on him for his heresy.

If Clinton wins i don't think that Bernie or you will fair any better and will be dragged out at the next election extravaganza and put to the torch because any questioning of the Glorious Leader is forbidden. If she loses you nor Bernie will have any rest, someone will be waiting with cans of gas to douse and set aflame the heretics who helped destroy the grand vision of royal Clinton rule.
