So we've moved from, "Bernie will never be president" to...

[Bernin4U]

"Even if he is, he'll never do anything/everything."

Nice.

[hrmjustin]

1. I haven't moved from he will never be president yet.

And my point is if he does he will have to get things done with a gop house.

[merrily]

3. He has a much better shot of working with a GOP than Hillary does!

Also a much better shot at coattails and at beating the Republican in the general.

[pangaia]

5. Absolutely true on both counts.

[hrmjustin]

6. It will be a close election no matter who we nominate.

The general election polls now are meaningless.

[merrily]

7. I don't think the election will be close, but, then again, neither of us has a crystal ball.

If Hillary is the nominee, I think she'll lose the general decisively. If Bernie is the nominee, I think he'll win it decisively.

[hrmjustin]

8. We disagree and we can leave it at that.

[merrily]

9. You know how to leave a discussion on a board?

[hrmjustin]

10. We are never going to convince each other so... n/t.

[merrily]

11. That wasn't my question, but, apparently, the answer to the question I actually

asked is no.

[BeanMusical]

19. +1

[merrily]

21. Ah, new shoes!

I'm stealing borrowing them.

[BeanMusical]

24. Be my guest.

17. Lol in your mind only.

[bvf]

20. In more minds than you may realize.

Welcome back.

[retrowire]

25. You should really change your signature

It's reminiscent of stomping your feet, folding your arms and pouting.

Tis better to proclaim what you're for rather than what you're against. It's just a really negative mindset going on. Not healthy.

[BeanMusical]

27. Yes, very childish.

[hrmjustin]

50. Sorry my sigline is not as stately as yours!

[BeanMusical]

52. If your sig line was a picture:

[hrmjustin]

32. It stays.

[retrowire]

33. stamping of the feet continues

will you be one of the ones to leave DU if Bernie wins then?

[hrmjustin]

34. Are you going to ask people who have sig lines that are negative about Hillary to take it down?

Are you going to be consistent?

[retrowire]

35. if they're shouting like that and are doing so

without legitimate critique then sure.

but I can't recall seeing any sigs like that.

[hrmjustin]

36. The ignore function is at your disposal.

Good day.

[retrowire]

37. hey you've got freedom of speech it's cool

but everyone else reserves the right to make judgment based on that.

I don't need to ignore you as really, your sig just gets pity from me, it's no skin off my back. but I'm only advising you that it looks childish. it's really not becoming of a democrat who wants progress.

it's just an echo of someone who'd rather get in the way then lend a hand. :/

that's what people see when they read that. see, if you had a critique of Bernie then it would seem more helpful to those who want to know "why not Bernie?" but your Sig is just, "I see the flow and I will NOT go with it, harumph"

ease up, and lend a hand. it doesn't have to be to Bernie. but, come on.

[hrmjustin]

41. Yet you keep going go and on about it.

Try being consistent. Start with the ridiculous sigline above.

[retrowire]

42. i cant view images on my phone

I can keep going on and on, just like you can keep flying that flag of sig. lol

didn't you mention an ignore feature or something?

[BeanMusical]

44. "Yet you keep going go and on about it."

Huh?

[rbrnmw]

43. oh the irony of this comment

I always lend a hand wherever I go. I have been lending a hand to help candidates from the Democratic Party since 1976, when I was 7. I have only missed 2 elections since 1987, when I was on bedrest and when I moved and missed the deadline to register. My vote is important to me.

[George II]

45. Hmmm, interesting question. Have you gotten an answer?

[hrmjustin]

46. Just excuses.

[George II]

48. I haven't seen any comments about this though:

[hrmjustin]

49. And that person who had that called my sigline childish.

You can't make this up.

[cannabis_flower]

54. Sorry, mine too!

[JonLeibowitz]

13. Absolute numbers are irrelevant -- comparatively they are telling. There is a difference. n/t

[bvf]

18. ^ This x3! n/t

[Matariki]

12. So will Clinton

so what's your point?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

23. Will there be a GOP House with Clinton?

If so, impeachment hearings start on day one.

[Arugula Latte]

51. That's so true -- because the GOP House just LOOOOOVES them some Hillary Clinton!

If there's one thing those nutjobs can't get enough of, it's Hillary! They can't WAIT to cooperate with her!

[leftofcool]

2. I haven't moved. He will never be president!

[RoccoR5955]

15. Tell me that after the primaries are over

and Bernie wins the nomination, okay?

[merrily]

4. The moving goal posts create quite a draft and the double standards create quite a laugh.

[BeanMusical]

28. The next step:

He'll be a one term president.

[merrily]

29. I can live with that!

[billhicks76]

14. lol...Obama Way More Paralyzed

He refused to play hardball and so much racism make it hard. Hillary would be the same.

[Indepatriot]

22. ATTENTION CLINTON SUPPORTERS:

Lift with your legs, not your back, while moving those goal posts........ then agin, you'd have less to worry about with Single Payer, Medicare for all healthcare.....

[BeanMusical]

26. Kick and R

[stillwaiting]

30. We will LOSE much less ground if Bernie becomes President. We might even actually GAIN some ground.

By that I mean we might actually have a MORE progressive Congress at the end of his term after having a President that talks to the American people and tells them what IS possible (not what ISN'T possible).

We would be building a progressive movement with Bernie as President, and that would take some time. How long just might be much less than Bernie's detractors are willing to admit though.

Bottom line: Bernie as President BEGINS the conversation of building a progressive movement and telling the American people we can do it and HOW to do it.

Hillary as President ensures that none of that happens. After her Presidency we will not have even begun to build on truly progressive principles. Hillary will tell us why we CAN'T have progressive policies implemented and she will convince some Democrats that this is the truth.

We can not afford Hillary when we have a candidate like Bernie running. It would be a very unwise move.

[lunamagica]

31. Nope. I still think he will never be president. eom

[Sheepshank]

38. No, I'm still in the Bernie will NEVER be President, camp nt

[brooklynite]

39. No, I still think he can't get elected...

...AND I think people should be realistic with their expectations in the unlikely event that he does.

[UglyGreed]

40. Only a moderate

right leaning progressive and can get things done don't cha know???

[cannabis_flower]

55. What the Hell

is a moderate, right leaning progressive? A liberal Republican?

[UglyGreed]

56. I think that is what

Hillary has described herself as

[CTyankee]

47. If he's gaining in popularity it's because of his message with the people and if they

believe in his message then they will go out in droves to vote on their issues and the House and Senate will change. Then he can get something done.

If the people feel hopeful that things can change, why wouldn't they vote accordingly in the other offices?

[Betty Karlson]

53. Very kind of camp Clinton to move the goalposts mid-game. eom
