My God, Sanders is really looking good now and he's clearly the smartest candidate

We've had running in a very very very long time.

And Hillary looks quite desperate. Like a parody of her old self.

The problem is, so many of their lies are coming unraveled. Fast.

Spin can only do so much for a candidate once they have crossed the line of no return with he truth and I think this country is just about spun out.

It will be interesting to see what the GOP does. I bet a lot of them have registered Democratic just to try to make sure Hillary wins instead of Sanders.

Similar to what happened to Obama in 2008, he got a LOT of GOP crossover votes in states that allowed it.

And then move back towards the center during the general election season in order to win the election.

But, Bernie will never move towards the center.
He doesn't give a damn if America rejects him.
It's their choice, him or her, up or down, narrow or wide.

And that is why he can't be bought off!!!!

would-be matchups against the Pukes' top contenders.

The Republicans are in bigger trouble than they might like to believe just now. I'm interested in keeping the White House, regaining the Senate, and picking up as many House seats as can be had.

The bluer the better.

turbulent out there.

I like the substance in our side's disagreements versus the shit-slinging the Republicans are up to.

Trump and Cruz both could spell potential disaster for the GOP. Either of them at the top of the ticket could doom many down-ballot Republicans, too.

And I' cool with both those scenarios.

10. I am too. I have gotten texts from Bernie's ground game, wanting me to travel for the primaries.

As luck would haven't, I can't this week, as I have a doctor's appointment, and I am preparing to travel next week, lots of stuff to do. Otherwise, I would. Oh, I am donating MUCH more than usual. Mostly to Bernie, but also several down-ticket races. At this point, re-taking the house- an utterly preposterous idea just months ago- isn't that far from the realm of possibility.
