...to the media, the establishment, the pollsters, to those who have given up on what American can do and what America can be.
I gotta admit, it feels great.
Am I right, NH, VT, CO, MN, OK, KS, NE and ME?
Or am I right?
Let's do this.

(94,598 posts)People in MO, Il, OH, NC and FL should just vote for the candidate of their choice.
BTW - I notice you didn't feel the need to say F- U- to the media for New Hampshire, for which a Sanders lead was reported for months in advance.

(94,598 posts)I'll repeat my question. When did anyone say something about "expecting people to support the candidate they can't stand" in the Primary?
revbones
(3,660 posts)taking what I said "expecting people to support the candidate they can't stand"
you can just scroll up to your post that said "No, you're wrong...People in MO, Il, OH, NC and FL should just vote for the candidate of their choice" in response to the original post about saying FU to the media and establishment.
You're just going to mince words to try to argue about some meta crap, when you know you were responding to the original poster rallying Bernie supporters. So touchy. I wonder if you're worried about tomorrow or something. It'll be ok if she loses - it'll just be a nicer country is all...

They should "just vote for the candidate of their choice".
Precisely the point of my OP.

(11,945 posts)You think a vote for Bernie is a vote against the Democratic Party??
You think a vote for Bernie is a rejection of a president from 20 years ago??

(15,512 posts)I don't think Bernie stands a chance in the GE and I don't think he'd be much of a president if he won it. He's a great bomb thrower but not a lawyer and not a legislator. And he's not running a positive campaign. Basically he's running against the Clintons and that's a well-worn easy path and not remotely progressive. And not very honest either, by my lights at least.
Anyway we'll see what happens tomorrow.

(11,945 posts)Polls show Bernie winning out over Republican candidates by wider margins than Hillary.
Bernie was a popular four term Mayor of Burlington, so he knows how to be a chief executive. As a presidential candidate, his popularity grows as people get to know him. He has always put the interests of the people first, so, like FDR, he will most likely be an effective and beloved president.
Bernie has never been a bomb thrower. He works within the system and has earned the respect of his colleagues. He has been a legislator for a quarter of a century, is beloved of his constituents and has been repeatedly reelected by wide margins.
He has only recently begun to mention either of the Clintons in his campaign, and he has never resorted to lies and smears as Hillary does to him and did to President Obama. He is far more progressive than the DLC/Third Way Clintons could ever be. And you should know that.
Kentonio
(4,377 posts)As for a 'bomb thrower', considering his actual elected history involves him entering a partisan political scene as an independent and winning over support from both sides to pass pragmatic and constructive measures that greatly improved the city he was running, that seems an odd description. In congress he then became known as the Amendment King because of the huge number of amendments he worked with both sides to achieve.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but he's more of a legislator than Hillary has ever been.

(5,252 posts)Hillary led in Illinois with 67% (according to Chicago Tribune), but CBS's poll yesterday indicated she trailed with 46%.
Lol I don't pay much attention to the polls, but I wouldn't be surprised if both reflected a kernel of truth.

(1,587 posts)Lots of people working hard to turn the state blue again. We've got good candidates this time around, and I'll be voting for the ones most like Bernie, to help him after November.
