I have an idea! Let's just cancel the rest of the primaries!

[magical thyme]

Hillary's already won it; the Hillbots, the South and the Superdelegates have spoken. The rest of us neither need nor deserve a choice.

Even better, that way the GOP won't find anything with which to attack poor misunderstood Hillary.

So let's just end this right here; right now.

for the impaired.

2. The poor misunderstood Hillary part made me LOL.

[frazzled]

3. I have a better idea

Let's stop the whining. The primaries will go on until one of the candidates drops out. They will go on even after one of the candidates suspends their campaign or drops out.They will go on even after one of the candidates receives enough pledged delegates to be considered the presumptive nominee.

Every single state will vote, no matter what happens. So even if Hillary Clinton achieves the 2382 pledged delegates in May, you can still vote for Bernie Sanders in New Jersey or California or South Dakota on June 7. All primary elections will be held.

Haven't you ever had a candidate you support lose in a primary before? I know it feels somewhat devastating. But it's gone cuckoo bananas around here with the hyberbolic charges of unfairness and evilness and the crazy math, and the handwringing and the cheerleading. Sometimes your candidate loses because the majority of the people just aren't into him or her.

Let the people vote, as they are doing.

5. Sorry frazzled, you are being too rational for GD: P

[Armstead]

11. Rational -- GD-P? Surely you jest

[JaneyVee]

9. Way to disrupt a pity party.

[Armstead]

10. People are hyperbolic because there's more at stake than two candidates

This is not like Kerry vs. Clinton, or Biden vs. Clinton or most otehr possible combinations of conventional political match-ups baed on which one you "like."

Bernie has resonated because he is speaking for and representing the frustrations of million of people with the basic way the Democratic has morphed into a center-right conservative pro-business party on issues of Wealth and Power.

[FSogol]

14. It is always the same stuff at stake. Until people show up for the midterms and local elections

and drive the RW out, nothing will change.

[Armstead]

15. If they feel a reason to, it might change

I know rationally there is a reason.

But the lack of an overriding set of principles and a message and "brand" to associate the Dems with positive change tends to reinforce the feeling that many non-political junkies have that politics is remote and unimportant, except when personalities are attached.

19. You're making way too much sense. nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. Careful, they would love that

so ahem, what are the words coming to me? BANANA REPUBLIC

[firebrand80]

6. I'd bet Bernie wishes he was running against these strawmen nt

[dana_b]

7. um... nah

I need something to fill my days with so let's let this play out.

I saw something here either yesterday or the day before saying that it would be all down to Florida and Ohio (again) and I thought - well if that's true, then why should we all bother voting? Let's just have Ohio and Florida vote and be done with it.

Then I laughed and came to my senses.

8. Not sure why us proles think we need a voice in our own futures, anyway.

You let that shit start, pretty soon CEOs can't afford a third vacation home. Why, they could even be stuck flying commercial.

[brooklynite]

12. So, no more posts saying Clinto should drop out?

[Armstead]

16. I missed seeing all of those, except a couple of tweaky ones

[KingFlorez]

13. I have a better idea

Let the process continue and quit being so petulant about things not going the way you want.

[magical thyme]

17. petulant? you do realise this thread is just mocking repeated calls for Bernie to drop out, right?
