The League of Ugly Women Voters will crank up the vote fraud machine in California, just like they’ve done for Boxer and Feinstein all these years. Hillary will win a comfortable victory.

She still gets half the delegates and wins the nomination.

Yes, but the Dem Convention becomes Must See TV. 1968 all over again. In HD. With mobs organized by Twitter.

I wonder. Obama doesn’t like Hillary and would probably figure that Bernie would be more likely to continue Obama’s policies. Polls seem to indicate Bernie would do better against Sanders than Clinton.

I wonder if Sanders wins California, Obama has a talk with the Democratic leadership about Hillary leaving the race, a deal where basically Hillary gets pardoned by Obama as a carrot.

The stick would be where Obama lets the DoJ indict Hillary.

Hillary dropped out in 2008 because Dem superdelegates turned against her.

Is there any good way to distribute the Anarchist’s cookbook to Bernie supports BEFORE the Dem convention?

Not that I’m trying to incite anything. I think Bernie supporters would enjoy it as, ummm, reading material.

True, but as my wife pointed out, generally the superdelegates in 2008 did not commit to Hillary so early in the race. So they were not undecided.

This is a simple formula:

1) If Dinobernie wins CA, Cankles wins the nomination, Dinkbernie supporters are outraged, Trump wins the general.

2) If Cankles wins CA, Cankles wins the nomination, see#1 above.

3) If the DNC for any reason substitutes Plugs Bite-Me, BOTH sets of supporters are outraged, Trump wins the general.

4) The big threat is that Cankles wins, tries to buy off Dinobernie supporters by naming him veep. Trump may well lose that.

Look, I’m not a FAN of Biden by any stretch but if you don’t think he’s a charismatic guy, I think you’re wrong.

Some (many here, I imagine) will see him as the doddering old fool. If he’s the candidate, they will make him look like the elder statesman. Remember what happened when he debated Paul Ryan? Everyone thought Ryan would destroy him for precisely the reasons you outlined. That didn’t happen.

Sanders won’t sell “socialism”. He won’t debate the benefits of socialism vs. capitalism. He’ll sell hate for anyone who succeeds, hate for the current crop of politicians and bankers. Hate for people he’ll claim have screwed the middle class. And people will buy it.

We can agree that his solutions are ass-backward but he’s not getting people to vote for him because of his SOLUTIONS. He’s getting people to vote for him because he’s identifying a problem. They believe he will “do something” about the problem without considering what that “something” is.

This is why many people switch between Sanders and Trump - they both identify the problem and for many people, simply identifying the problem is enough of a reason to vote for them. Many - those that would switch between Sanders and Trump - don’t care WHAT the solutions are as long as the problems are identified/addressed. They don’t have core principles off which they form opinions.

Trump probably beats Sanders but it’ll be a much closer race than you’re giving credit for - and that’s because America does indeed have yuuuger problems. Think about it, can you imagine any era before now where an admitted socialist/communist would be considered a serious candidate for President??

And now they embrace her to such a degree that her nomination is all but assured. That does sound like a backroom deal.

You are correct. For reasons that shall always escape me, the average person out there actually LIKES Joe Biden.

I’ll just point out that no superdelegate is determined by Hillary’s wishes. They are Dem current or former officeholders who were elected in their own right and owe Hillary squat, except maybe her blackmail demands.

She will be the nominee even IF she is indicted.
There are plenty of examples for Democrat criminals being elected

Biden has relatability and a campaign skill set Hillary can only dream of.

When he ran 8 years ago only 5% of democrats voted for him. He is hardly a campaign juggernaut.

Bernie’s whole purpose is to keep Hillaries name in the news which would be totally lacking in an uncontested primary

No, I've never bought the positive media caricature of Biden as some kind of wise, charismatic older statesman. He's been a hood ornament for 0'Bambster. Assignment: Smile for his new pearly whites and pat down little girls and women. He's a creep and do-nothing veep -- which the media has conveniently and totally ignored.

As a Senator he a was a mean ol' SOB Dem. Can you cite any of his "accomplishments"? I can't.

Ryan was a weak patsy who played paddy-cake against Biden. Palin easily more than held her own with Biden. Trump would destroy him.

The only commonality between Trump voters and and Sanders voters is a weariness with The Political Establishment Class. Other than that, the two have nothing much in common.

The Comrade's solution is purely Confiscation. Trump's solution are business principles: Opportunity, LOGIC and Logistics.

On this we do agree -- Sanders will play the "Hate" Card, the "Equality" Card, the "Economic" card -- but isn't that all Socialism/Communism? But let's not forget -- Sanders' supporters are basically anarchists and college kids. Yes -- it is unfathomable to believe Sanders is attracting as much support as he is. AS a Commie. Isn't it?
