A left wing self proclaimed socialist is absolutely toxic in this country.
Is that why he's winning all these primaries, because he's toxic?

I think he should run as independent. If he is a true statesman, he wouldn't bow to the left pressure to quit.

Good win by Hillary in Kentucky. She spent a lot of talking to voters, not giving the same applause-line speech to college kids at rallies. Paid off.
Indeed. She was headed towards a loss and went and did something about it.

Yeah, the Republican party is falling apart and the Dems are just one big happy family. Lol
Funny how the one common denominator in all these altercations and violence is Bernie supporters not Trump. Weird.

I don't advocate the violence at all. That is a function of people with strong feelings who feel they have been wronged and they don't know a more effective way to express their feelings. Same can be said for some folks on dem or repub side. But I think the media analysis is disingenuous about the minimal significance of the outcome in Nevada.
We have a national narrative now that It's a done deal, and Bernie doesn't have a chance. While only a few delegates were at stake, this would have been a big deal for renewing the momentum for Bernie and the party loyalist folks supporting Clinton know that very well. It's the difference between a story like "Bernie loses again but crazy supporters are a threat to our society" versus "Bernie retakes Nevada, echoing Growing national groundswell of support".
The importance of the media cannot be overstated in this, which is what makes it such an uphill battle for Bernie supporters all along.
The name of the game now is to marginalized Bernie, malign and marginalize his supporters, and to douse any potential flames of renewed momentum.

Does he have more votes than she has?
I hope you recognize that the primary electorate does not resemble the general electorate.

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders 1h1 hour ago
The Democratic Party has to make an important decision and I say to them: Open the doors. Let the people in!
So what's the decision? There are people who are interpreting some of the things he is saying as an ultimatum. That he may yet run on an Independent ticket. Hard to visualize.

They need to let the Tea party into Philadelphia convention, with baseball bats, and let the natural selection take its course.

They're on the march today, for sure. For "Throwing Shade"
I think if I owned commercial property in Philly, I would be hardening the defenses now. Funny, a month ago, I would've said this about Cleveland.

Bernie Sanders’ campaign fired back at Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Wednesday after the Democratic National Committee chairwoman panned the campaign’s “anything but acceptable” response to reports of violence at the Nevada Democratic convention over the weekend.
The Nevada Democratic Party lodged a formal complaint to co-chairs and members of the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee on Tuesday over the conduct of Sanders supporters and representatives of his campaign at the convention. The state party warned that the “very dangerous atmosphere that ended in chaos and physical threats to fellow Democrats” is indicative of what could happen in Philadelphia in July.
....
accusing Wasserman Schultz of “throwing shade on the Sanders campaign since the very beginning,” citing a limited debate schedule that featured weekend debates, the campaign’s revoked access to its voter data and a joint fundraising agreement with Hillary Clinton’s campaign that Weaver said takes money away from state parties and goes to the DNC.

Please explain. I mean other than "if Sanders managed to turn over 300 delegates through utilizing the exact same kind of insider party mechanics his supporters claim are 'corrupt' and 'rigged'" how would this have affected the outcome? Neutral observers seem to agree that the Sanders delegates were appropriately rejected, but even if they weren't and Sanders picked up 5 delegates in Nevada....what difference would that have made?
All I see is "the media keeps saying we aren't going to win but I think we can so if we don't it's the media's fault."
