Sanders Says He'll Take Nomination Fight to Convention, Try to Win Superdelegates
Washington Free Beacon ^ | March 17, 2016 | Jenna Lifhits

"We think if we come into the convention in July in Philadelphia, having won a whole lot of delegates, having a whole lot of momentum behind us, and most importantly perhaps being the candidate who is most likely to defeat Donald Trump, we think that some of these superdelegates who have now supported Hillary Clinton can come over to us," Sanders said.

Sanders in urinating into the wind but good for him. Anything that makes Hilliary sweat is good.

Why would she sweat when she knows the Super Delegates are already assigned to her. Bernie is just a sideshow and he knows it as well as anyone else with an ounce of sense.

Sanders figures that Hillary is walking through a legal minefield and as long as he stays around he might pick up the nomination if a mine goes off.

Oh Bernie, poor Bernie, are you the only one who doesn’t know that you’re a sham candidate? A cardboard cutout for fix is in Clinton to run against?

According to this, Hillary would agree with him.

Agreed! He is wrong headed as can be but there are some aspects of his character I kind of like. Forlorn last stands on principle, for instance.

I’ll go along with that thought

We here are all heavily involved with our own arguments and battles. I can’t imagine the other side....... quiet.

The dread of disaster must be causing the quiet. It is so bad no one dare bring it up for extended conversation.

If there can be literally hundreds of millions of $$$ pissed away in Republican primary losses, how much money can be raised to destroy Hillary in the general election? It is scary.

The bottom line, at the end of the day, in final analysis...... the Rats are screwed

I hate to say it, but “Boinie” is even more unlikable than Hillary.

Sanders was selected as the cut-out to stand against Hilliary. She knew all along that she was the sole candidate for the Dems. Now if only the Republicans could shut down this civil war and get on with the business of beating Hilliary. This is a very sad state of affairs.

Sounds perfectly sane to me.
Actually, hope he does. Split the vote on dem side.

As long as there is even a remote chance that Hillary will be indicted, there is a remote chance for Bernie to be nominated.

Nonsense...he’s simply there to appear as he competition.

Besides, potus, to Bernie pays too much.

I hope I'm wrong, but it's not going to happen.

Basically the old crackpot is now a prisoner of the low IQ violent mobs that have been sent his way in order for Clinton to appear sane (yeah I know). He probably realizes that he is now an old feeble joke and is just milking these saps and their financeers for the money, its always the money.

Hillary is not indicted, she becomes president: Those who sought her indictment will have a proverbial trip to Ft. Marcy Park.

Hillary is indicted, she does not become president: Obama pardons her in January.

Hillary is not indicted, she does not become president: Anybody’s guess.

Hillary is indicted, she does not become president: Double win for America right up to when Obama pardons her.

What’s the likelihood he’ll run third party if he doesn’t win nomination?
