Is The Sanders Campaign Unraveling?

Just in the last 48 hours:

- Bernie starts lowering expectations of a victory in Iowa

- Bernie staffers racially profile rally attendees in Minnesota

- Bernie's people pretend to be union officials in Las Vegas

- Bernie fakes an endorsement from AARP

Sure looks like the revolution is imploding...

Apparently every time you try to write League of Conservation Voters, because it appears in another of your posts in the Hillary Group. I'm beginning to hate autocorrect.

I guess I can't keep up! To me, it's a competence issue. I gladly supported Obama in 2008 after he and his team showed me that they could run a really good campaign. So far, Bernie has shown me the exact opposite.

It's not about building relationships or inclusion for them, it's solely a matter of leveling the economic playing field. I certainly support that as a goal, but it's only one part of a broader fight.

Bernie has gained zero traction in the south and with the majority of PoC.

There is no way he can win the democratic nomination and he will be mathematically eliminated after super tuesday for sure. Maybe before that even.

Bernie lost control of his campaign people it would seem. Why do they want to hurt the eventual democratic nominee? Why don't they ever go after the republicans?

Hillary does all the time. Bernie and his people attack 1.Hillary 2 the head of the DNC and 3 the democratic party in general

Their version of the good old days, I guess.

In the last few days I have seen a handful of Camp Sanders people on the DU doing just this. "We will win Iowa!" has slid to "If Hillary doesn't win Iowa by 10 she FAILS!"

It is sad.

Now, they're having a hard time handling the wringer and the first few steps of being vetted.

Running an ad that implies he was endorsed by the Des Moines Register, which, in the non-Bernie world, endorsed Hillary.
