To give the Devil his due, he worked out a lot better than that National Guard deserter.

It's a low bar to be better than the Bush puppet.
At least the Barry puppet can read his teleprompter and doesn't seem as retarded.
What shocked me was the speed with which Barry collapsed all his campaign BS and paid the banksters their ransom without hesitation.
Not that a puppet really has a choice.

What we don't need is an unrealistic dreamer...
Unrealistic eh? Let's see, what has Bernie gained by staying strong:
 Gets to pick five members for the platform-drafting committee
“With five good members on the platform-drafting committee,” Sanders said, “we will be in a very strong position to fight for an economy that works for all of our people, not just the one percent; to fight to break up the large banks on Wall Street, who in my view now have much too much economic and political power. We will be in a position to fight for a carbon tax, so that this nation can begin to lead the world in aggressively addressing climate change. We will be in a position to fight to have the United States join the rest of the industrialized world in guaranteed health care as a right.”
Campaign finance, climate change, the power that multi-nationals have over our gov't. You're dreaming if you think any of that is going to change without a radical shift in how people act on these things.
And if you think Clinton is going to shift the status quo without a strong group of voters pressuring her, you are in a deep REM sleep.

Wrong.
She already has a strong group of voters who want to see progressive policies enacted, not maintain the status quo. They have voted for her by the millions, as I will on June 7th.
Bernie's supporters demonstrate their conceit by failing to recognize Hillary's supporters - the one's taking her to the nomination. In your mind, we're all walking in lockstep to mediocrity while Bernie Bros are leading a gallant revolution. Sorta sick of hearing that bs.

Indeed. Why her campaign isn't generating excitement. But then, maybe excitement, is over rated.

Maybe? Definitely.
We have two exciting candidates. One wants to ban muslims, build a wall and borrow trillions of dollars for a tax cut (or maybe not he changes his mind by the minute). The other wants to completely reengineer our economy and raise taxes on the middle class to a point that won't even come close to paying for his social programs (that won't even pass the congress).
So yeah...I'll happily sign up for boring. We need a competent technocrat who isn't going to blow everything up and start a race war/civil war/trade war while we as a country remove our head from our ass.
The fact that Clinton bows to political pressure should be a positive thing for the Sanders "movement." It means if you actually build a movement* she'll get behind it.
*a movement is something that wields actual political power. Packing stadiums and making memes is not a movement.

Not only that, but her "constituents" will be around as well. At a protest yesterday, Trump opponents, waved the Mexican Flag, and burned the American one. This isn't good.

Fixed it for you.
Your consequent clause is true either way.

LOL, so you've found arguably the left-wing rag that itself "uncritically" makes "baseless claims" like, "Right-Wing Media Uncritically Report DiGenova's Baseless Claim Without Noting His History Of Misinformation And Unprofessional Conduct," and you seriously think that that "discredits" him?
Uh-huh.
Look instead at what the DC Bar thinks. More credible evaluation of his chops.

Try it at 25-30ft below the surface of water...
Now that's a really good idea.
If she's not indicted, I just might give that a shot. After all, in that scenario, it will be the end of even the fantasy of "justice for all" in this nation.

I live in here in Albuquerque where the anti-Trump protest was held outside his "rally"
at some 40% of the state's population, we have the highest concentration of Hispanics of any state
you saw images from the national press, eager to focus on the very few
yes, two azzholes waved Mexico flags, the other 200 did not, get that difference
people here are angry, angry that ignorant, undereducated, white males have put a Realty TV Star on the Republican ticket for President

Anger is OK, but just no "victim card" or I tune out. It's the fashion to claim to be oppressed and disenfranchised if you are anything but a white heterosexual male. Everything else after the blame game just sounds like whiney mcwhiner whines again...
