Feeling the Bern

Socialism may be classist but it isn’t known to be racist.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Hillary couldn’t deserve anyone better. Go Bernie Go.

[Iron Munro]

“freestuffers”

I like that term.

Did you coin it?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Apparently when Bernie was young he worked as a carpenter.

Which means that, unlike Obama, he once held a real job.

[tanknetter]

Bernie going to jail in the 60s for Civil Rights is a big point that I hope his surrogates are making in SC.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I don’t know whether freestuffism is worse than the fix. Freedom should include the freedom to vote yourself free stuff and then deal with the consequences of how much it costs. But this is only mammon. Hillary represents soul sales to Satan.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Hmm. This means he could campaign on a Jesus vibe if he wanted to... not that I’d suggest earthly socialism is a Jesus vibe (church charity would be, though).

As long as he doesn’t then admonish Donald Trump from Three Corinthians.

[jpsb]

I'm not for Bernie but I do like some of his fans

Do I even need the Not Guilty here. Nope.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Oh yeah!

Feel the Bern, Berning against racism and he actually put skin in the game.

Also afterwards, feel the cheat.

Ooh, BLM is going to love that. (Not)

So to whom would they then go in the GOP, if they were thus minded? Trump is the only one who would be remotely close.

"Cynical guess or did you get a report?"

The information about the delegate count is all over the TV, the internet and other electronic media.

Just google "Hillary delegate count" or "Democrat delegate" count.

Here is one source:

http://www.politicususa.com/2016/02/10/thanks-to-superdelegates-hillary-clinton-still-wins-after-getting-crushed-in-new-hampshire.html

"According to the Associated Press' delegate count, Hillary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders 394-44. Clinton has roughly 360 superdelegates to 8 for Bernie Sanders. Clinton already has 16.5% of the delegates needed to win the nomination."

Here is a second source:

http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/graphics/2016-delegate-tracker/

Democratic Delegates

Needed to win nomination: 2,382

Hillary Clinton: 394

Bernie Sanders: 44

Not yet allocated: 4,325

[tanknetter]

I wouldn’t count on Trump, although he’s the most likely.

Think third party (if there is someone who goes that route) or stay home in disgust.

[HiTech RedNeck]

How has Bernie actually been doing vote-wise, if the system were to look like the GOP one?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well Trump got the Jimmuh nod. That might mean something.

[my small voice]

Maybe, but there is a lot of hatred for Hillary by the Bernie crowd. I am not sure they will forget that so easily. Especially if it starts being repeated over and over.

[Iron Munro]

How has Bernie actually been doing vote-wise

Well, they supposedly split 50/50 in Iowa but there are many accusations of vote fraud there favorable to Hillary that the democrat party won't release the vote totals.

See this:

In New Hampshire Bernie won 60% to Hillary's 38%

Vote count: Bernie = 151,584

Hillary = 95,252

Well maybe the Dem voter will begin to envy the GOP. What are these superdelegates anyhow? The lie on top? What earns them for Hillary? Just her stature?

[sten]

there's just something about the 'Feel the Bern' slogan that's not right.

maybe it has to do with the candidate that vilifies business owners and the rich while pushing for nationwide socialism by promising everything and anything for votes... to be provided by taking whatever they need from the evil 1%

GEMEINNUTZ GEHT VOR EIGENNUTZ -- 'common good comes before self'

the 'evil' 1%

take what is needed

Feel the Bern

[Iron Munro]

What earns them [Super Delegates]for Hillary? Just her stature?

Democrat party Super delegates are democrat party political insiders.

In fact - Bill Clinton himself is a Super Delegate !!!!!

Super Delegates can vote for whomever they please without regard to how the popular vote goes.

It is clear that the democrat party establishment intends for Hillary to be their candidate,.
Bernie was supposed to just be a pretend challenger for her throne but has become somewhat of a real threat.

Here are the 2016 Super Delegates according to Wickipedia:

• 20 distinguished party leaders (current and former presidents, vice-presidents, congressional leaders, and DNC chairs)
• 20 Democratic governors (including territorial governors and the Mayor of the District of Columbia)
• 47 Democratic members of the United States Senate (including Washington, DC shadow senators)
• 192 Democratic members of the United States House of Representatives (including non-voting delegates)
• 432 elected members of the Democratic National Committee (including the chairs and vice-chairs of each state's Democratic Party

[GOPJ]

Thanks to "superdelegates," party officials who are free to support whichever candidate promises them the most (and who can promise more than a Clinton?), Hillary has 394 nominating delegates to 42 for Sanders.

When it dawns on Bernie's backers that they've been scammed by the Democrat Establishment, we're going to pick up some of those voters..
