In reply to Hillary said "Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done"

A week later as Bernie wins there appears to be a groundswell of movement towards his destruction, a flaw of Homeric proportions mounting. The "speak truth to power" guy is largely pissing people off, and while Trump merged his clique/absconded & absorbed the Never Trumpers, that seems unlikely to happen with Never Berners.

Also in a week Hillary seems to have gone frome tone deaf/"why won't she go away?" to yet again one of the most insightful and preminiscent figures on our political stage. While I couldn't be sure it would come, I've always been mindful of the adage, "to get where I am, I've had to kiss a lot of ass - right on the lips." It's a shame to be two-faced until you need both of them. Florida is a case in point. It's not just "pick a lane", it's "get out and direct traffic after a 14-car pileup at an intersection coming 3 directions."

Oh Jesus, pep rallies don't vote. Washington held an 800,000 vote primary that Hillary won by 5% even tho Bernie won the lower turnout caucus 3:1. Across the South, Democratic primaries of up to 1.3 million votes *each* went 2:1 Hillary over Bernie. But Bernie drew 17,000 at a pep rally, so let's call the goddamn race over, eh?

In reply to currently on a roll:

Large rallies signifies a certain energy for a candidate but it doesn't in any way means he's going to win. 17,000 is a big rally but he's going to need 65 million votes at least. Trump had crowds this size and larger all the time while Hillary never got them and Hillary got 3 million more votes. Despite the crowds Trump needed an electoral college fluke to become president. Having an excited base doesn't mean you're going to win.

How is there a rally this big for a Democratic *primary* campaign?

16 good, 13 even better...

New research suggests that if you want to raise voter turnout one of the best ways to do so would be to lower the voting age to 16. https://t.co/S7jgpZtMV0

In reply to Ah...You win.

Seems they decided to just ignore & erase EW cuz they're bored.
How is it they, meaning media I guess, can sniff and choose whatever they want
without any conscientious effort to cover the campaign?
Why can't they track the X candidates left & just say "oh, EW did this,
didn't do that, said Y, response was Z, someone noted A, B, & C...
Now we have AY - he did this, didn't do that, said Q...
And BS did this, didn't do that....
TS did this, didn't do that..."
we're down to a handful of candidates plus the walk-ons -
is it so tough for media to do its job?

As someone noted, Bernie was expected to do well in Iowa & New Hampshire,
Warren supposed to do well Super Tuesday.
So there Bernie & Buttigieg did roughly as expected Iowa & New Hampshire -
so why are we surprised that Warren & Biden will still do as expected on Super Tuesday?

"I'm sorry, you said you'd have the money on Friday, and here it is Thursday and you
haven't given it to me yet - I'm so disappointed in you"

Ah...You win.

Zaid has a shot from Little Miss Sunshine on his Twitter home. Yes, that's the Democratic Party in a nutshell - a diverse crazed family committing internecine psychological warfare on a road trip from/to hell to fulfill a futile and laughable reality-defying dream. Somehow they identify the outsiders as the enemy in a quirky bonding moment.

PS -Zaid also has a pretty good takedown of Bloomberg's record, why we shouldn't be so complacent.
