Democratic Party leaders are upping the pressure on Bernie Sanders to drop his presidential campaign, alarmed that his continued presence is undermining efforts to beat the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump, and again win the White House.

"I don't think they think of the downside of this," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., a supporter of front-runner Hillary Clinton and broker of the post-primary peace between Clinton and then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama in 2008.

Hillary is as exciting as watching paint dry.

Half of Democrats can’t stand her.

Getting the party to rally around her will be a struggle.

The rat leadership know Crooked Hillary is damaged goods but they really don’t want Uncle Bernie at the top of the ticket either. Better to have him voluntarily drop out before Hillary gets indicted so there can be a replacement by acclamation with Crazy Joe.

heck obama is doing his best to have dems lose in a landslide. I don’t think anyone is jumping for joy over having pretend boys and pretend girls using real boys and girls bathrooms in public schools. In fact there’s outright rage among MOST.

I have a feeling the animosity has grown so that some of the loser’s camp will vote Trump and throw the presidency to him, in addition to low turnout on their side.

On Trump’s Twitter feed, he posted the following:

“If Crooked Hillary Clinton can’t close the deal on Crazy Bernie, how is she going to take on China, Russia, ISIS and all of the others?”

Indeed. Pity the poor woman who can’t put away a domestic opponent.

Attention!

Democrats who voted for Sanders!

Vote for Trump - your vote will be a WHOLE vote, instead of three-fiths of a vote!

“Pity the poor woman who can’t put away a domestic opponent.” Pitty? No, no pitty, but I do hope the stress kills her.

I cannot understand how someone can say they are for women’s rights and let their husband treat the marriage like a harem.

“I don’t think the Democrats will see the downside to Hillary until she goes belly-up.”

Then they’ll only see it if she sinks on top of them

Yeah, that web page is worth a stop. The writing is good and well informed, and clearly not MSM.

On average, every two weeks a real good one pops up.

As the Pope told him when he said he needed a miracle: “You’ve come this far.”

I could have told them that. I live in a socialist neighborhood. They still think you have a choice only between Nazism and socialism. They are like back in the 1930s. They have been worshiping Sanders since he was a congressman.
