Inside the bitter last days of Bernie's revolution
Politico ^ | 06/07/16 | By EDWARD-ISAAC DOVERE and GABRIEL DEBENEDETTI

Posted on 06/08/2016 1:44:57 AM PDT by Enchante

There’s no strategist pulling the strings, and no collection of burn-it-all-down aides egging him on. At the heart of the rage against Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party, the campaign aides closest to him say, is Bernie Sanders.

It was the Vermont senator who personally rewrote his campaign manager’s shorter statement after the chaos at the Nevada state party convention and blamed the political establishment for inciting the violence.

He was the one who made the choice to go after Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz after his wife read him a transcript of her blasting him on television.

He chose the knife fight over calling Clinton unqualified, which aides blame for pulling the bottom out of any hopes they had of winning in New York and their last real chance of turning a losing primary run around.

Bernie operating in a rage against Hillary and the DemocRAT establishment, yet holding back a lot..... he's full of emotion and yet could not bring himself to go after Hillary's major vulnerabilities, beyond calling her "unqualified".....

It would have been fun to see Bernie really take it to Shrillary, but in the end he lacked the guts to do so.....

it’s too late for that... the only hope now is that she gets indicted.... even then the Demonrats will try to prop her up until the election.

Thats what I mean....... Bernie needs to go all out in revealing Hillary’s betrayal of her own country, but he has held back too much. His only hope now is to use all of his ammunition to convert super delegates.

“First female nominee for President indicted on corruption charges”.

I just don’t see this headline happening in today’s world.

DNC message to Bernie supporters:

1) STFU
2) Eat your peas
3) Vote for Hillary in November

There may be some wimpering...but they will do as told.

I don’t understand why some desire Sanders to beat Clinton.
Bernie against Trump is too close to call.
I know so many people wanting crazy Bernie to be POTUS.
I can’t tell you why this is.
No one I know likes Clinton at all (save two dingbats in my family).
I want Trump to run against Hillary.
I want him to beat her like a mule.
It seems like a landslide in the making.
Let the Bernie flame burn out and his supporters be disgruntled.

Bernie Sanders is a fraud. He had his shot with commenting on Venezuela and Hillary’s email, FAIL. Because he is a con man.

Definitely a depressing outcome.

I was hoping Bernie would go to Philadelphia with a majority of the pledged delegates, only to be screwed out of the nomination by Hillary's superdelegate advantage. The resulting propaganda opportunity would have been sweet (and the insurance companies could bandage up the Philly property owners). But, sigh, it looks like Hillary has won her party's nomination fair and square. So, no popcorn for Philly!

I want Bernie to weaken Hillary. Want neither for Prez, though Bernie may be worse as he is a true believer.

“he’s full of emotion and yet could not bring himself to go after Hillary’s major vulnerabilities, beyond calling her “unqualified”..... “

I watched a few talking heads discuss that and they concluded he didn’t attack Hillary on her “vulnerabilities” because the Democratic base doesn’t care about treason, espionage, or corruption. I have to say this squares with my observations of the liberals I’ve been exposed to lately. For example, they either didn’t know about the email scandal, or consider it a Republican plot.

true, they were just showing a poll result on FoxNews which says that 50% of respondents think Shrillary should stay in the race if she is indicted!!

That suggests (although the reality could turn out differently?) that her supporters will not be troubled at all if she is indicted. Ofc they will tell themselves it is all a Republican plot etc., but the FBI’s reporting on real crimes ought to matter to them if they were not such delusional twits.

Well Bernie says he is staying in the race to the convention, although he is scheduled to meet with Obama tomorrow who will probably implore him to concede....

Looks like Bernie and his Berniebots will be a thorn in Shrillary’s side for at least a while longer.

“betrayal of her own country...”

That’s what most of the wacko leftists admire.

Liberalism is a religion. Reality doesn’t matter. Only their feelings matter.

I want them Yuuuugely disgruntled. The Donald will have theri votes then!

Therefore, rather than having them fade to being gruntled. I want them HUGELY Disgruntled.

I have bo worries that Bernie will take the nomination. The fix is in. They have Bernie frozen out.He could not beat the establishment like Trump did. That’s how Trump will get the Bernie cross over votes!Unlike Bernie, Trump DID beat them.That’s very attractive to a disgruntled Bernie supporter who wants to cast a protest vote.
