His best primary states lie ahead -- but only if people turn off their televisions and block out the endless repetition of the idea that Hillary's antidemocratic superdelegates, and states that have already voted have decided everything.

Senator Sanders is losing the states he is losing now . not because a quirk of the primary calendar, but because they are heterogeneous. The more heterogeneous the state the worse Senator Sanders does. That's an empirical observation and not a normative one.

2. Good luck, then.

I think the quote was attributed to Marx, the whole "religion is the opiate of the masses" thing-- if he could see things nowadays, he'd shit enough bricks to build himself a new mausoleum, and then go lay down in it. 24 hour "news" cycles are the new opiate of the masses.

4. The only people that really listen and base their decisions on traditional media are the

older folks that are already in Hillary's corner.

[BernieforPres2016]

10. I agree with that

Bernie supporters are pissed off at and wary of the entire system including corporate media. While corporate media's message that Bernie's campaign was doomed heading into Super Tuesday, Bernie's supporters donated over $6 million to his campaign in the last 24 hours.

[redstateblues]

6. You're kidding? The media loves a horserace

They will help keep Bernie propped up to keep ratings high. They want a big chunk of that $42 Million

[Darb]

13. Ding, ding, ding, we have a winna!!!

Can't let that $42 mill get away.

It's so obvious that it hurts my head.


Spare the Nose!!!!

[DCBob]

7. Which states??

I do see some very good ones coming up for Hillary.

[brooklynite]

8. I haven't heard that message; I've heard that Clinton is winning a lot of States with a lot of votes

[DCBob]

9. Here are the next 11 states. Which ones will Bernie win??

March 5, 6
Nebraska - 26 delegates
Kansas - 33 delegates
Louisiana - 59 delegates
Maine - 25 delegates

March 8
Michigan - 133 delegates
Mississippi - 36 delegates

March 15
Florida - 207 delegates
Ohio - 148 delegates
Illinois - 160 delegates
Missouri - 75 delegates
North Carolina - 107 delegates

[Trust Buster]

11. By March 15 things will become much clearer to Bernie supporters.

Hillary already has Florida and Louisiana. I think Ohio, Pennsylvanis and New York will go to Hillary. Michigan could be a battle. But, I think you know where I'm going with this.

17. Hillary is the overwhelming favorite in Michigan according to 538. nt

[SidDithers]

12. David Swanson. LOL...

is he still around?

Sid

[HomerRamone]

14. Yes, and still opposing war, which is no laughing matter

unlike those who support warmongers like Hillary

[JaneyVee]

18. What if we opposed WW2?

[HomerRamone]

20. What if we opposed all the needless wars since?

[JaneyVee]

21. Write a paper and let us know.

[Lizzie Poppet]

22. Do you ever actually contribute anything of substance?

Or is it nothing but inane, deflective one-liners...? Way to rep your candidate...

[JaneyVee]

23. I contribute a dose of reality outside the DU bubble.

[Lizzie Poppet]

24. If your reality consists of reactionary one-liners and transparent deflections...

...then may I strongly suggest hallucinogens.

Lots and lots of hallucinogens...

[Cali_Democrat]

15. So the revolution hinges on whether or not people's televisions are turned on?

[JaneyVee]

19. Keep the tv's off, shut the blinds, and unplug the internet.
