Hillary barely viable in Alaska, pretty pathetic.

[morningfog]

She thinks she can coast to nomination and ignore half the country since she ran up a lead. Now she is getting her ass kicked.

WA and AK ass kickings are looking even worse than ID and UT.

This kind of hubris and sense of enetitlement is not what we need in the GE.

[MadBadger]

1. Like how Bernie completely ignored the south?

[morningfog]

2. It wasn't out of hubris. It was out of necessity.

I think it was a mistake regardless.

[MadBadger]

3. Necessity? He's been raising huge sums of money for a while now.

[morningfog]

16. What's her excuse for being utterly rejected in so many states?

[MadBadger]

20. Her supporters on average are not the diehards that he has.

And the diehards come out in caucus country. Also, he gets great support from independents. Democrats by and large are not rejecting her. She does very well with them. I'd feel confident of a Hillary victory in just about every single closed primary.

What's his excuse?

[morningfog]

23. He failed to connect to African Americans, pretty simple.

[senz]

49. He does well with younger AAs

who are more attuned to social media and the internet.

Much depends on one's information sources.

[Baobab]

70. maybe you can help figure this out..

Africa is involved..


What to do? It goes back 2 0 ye ars.

[tomm2thumbs]

37. here's a picture of Bernie ignoring the South

Alabama rally



Texas rally



Louisiana

I won't bother to go post others, just want to make a reasonable point

[pdsimdars]

90. And we don't see any pictures of Hillary in front of large crowds

Only 20-30 people in foyers.

[Zira]

101. You're right! What's up with that?

Why isn't she having big rallies of thousands like Bernie?

[Trenzalore]

103. Rallies don't win elections

They are nice optics and fun to attend though.

[BuelahWitch]

105. She only speaks for the big $$$$

[Henhouse]

112. Sanders' big rallies cost big money

The outpouring may be spontaneous but the huge venues are carefully chosen, and don't come cheap.

Bernie Sanders’ revolution may be growing directly from the grass roots, but he’s paying top dollar for the places where it’s coming together.

In February, the Sanders campaign, flush with cash from its small-donor network, spent $1.6 million on site rentals, ticketing and “sound/stage/lighting,” pursuing ever-larger venues for his followers to gather in, according to Federal Election Commission filings.

28. LMAO!

Exactly!

[amborin]

4. where is she, by the way? Bernie is non-stop action, whereas it seems HRC takes many days off

out of sight; is she up to this?

[MadBadger]

8. Maybe she and her staffers got an early start on the holiday

[Baobab]

22. If i were her i would lay low, and try not to get cornered on issues.

She's the candidate not just of preserving the status quo, she's the candidate of the trade deals.

There is no way to spin them as positive or of her position, she is not thinking about maybe not signing them, she will sign them. Her husband gave the frigging keynote speech for the WTO in 1999. He signed GATS which is the model for TISA and which basically totally limits our choices on health care and education and attempts to - like its predecessor, privatize public services everywhere that joins it. These facts, although successfully hidden here are no longer not known by practically anybody, they are emerging, and its a potential huge thing. There is no way she can discuss trade without either lying or supporting these things which are really horrible for the whole worlds future.

So she likely is being extremely careful about who she sees because unscripted questions will force her to act funny, she has no way to answer a great many questions without exposing her many issues. Thats also why we should think long and hard about the wisdom of voting for her - it will be seen as a referendum on the WTO and its so called "progressive liberalisation" which is bad news for US workers and the world.

For example, joining the WTO India recently was forced to give up its Constitutional right to education. Is that the global image the US wants to project, forcing countries to give up rights to public education so they dont threaten commercialization of education so that only wealthy people can go to college.

[polly7]

46. Omg ....

For example, joining the WTO India recently was forced to give up its Constitutional right to education.

This is insane.

[senz]

56. It's worse than insane. It's barbarous. It's evil.

[polly7]

59. Yes, it is. They don't even pretend to care about the rights of everyday people anymore - whatever

can be slashed/dismantled for profit is the only thing that counts. We've already seen it with the very poorest of the poor in nations unable to fight off global corporation and IMF rule and their austerity that harms/starves/kills off the most vulnerable - these new trade agreements are going to make sure nations involved with the same inability to battle the ISDS and other lawsuits will lose their social programs and every other safety net. It should make everyone who cares about humanity see red.

[Baobab]

67. 2007-2010 HCR "debate"

I don't even want to say it.

Think about Helsinki and Nuremberg

[polly7]

73. Scary, Baobab. :(. I HATE these 'deals'/everything UP to those who need to control it all, at

the expense of those who have the least - then, the rest of us.

[senz]

71. This is why we have to stop them.

We cannot let this happen to the world.

The corporatists who are trying to take over the world by weakening sovereign, democratically elected governments through trade agreements so they can no longer protect their people from economic predation, AND the neocons who want to subdue other countries militarily, are BOTH like a cancer on the human race. They will destroy the rights of people all over the globe and prevent them from standing up for their own interests. When people have no options to control and improve their own existence, they fall back on terrorist tactics. It's all they have recourse to.

It will be living hell for all but the very top tier and can only be maintained through force.

Hillary has shown that she is both a dedicated corporatist and a neocon. She is extremely bad news.

We and the rest of the world need a Bernie Sanders presidency because he has the courage to oppose what they're doing.

[polly7]

72. You're exactly right, senz. And it's terrifying. nt.

68. Thanks, Baobab ... I'll do that. nt.

[amborin]

53. great post, Baobab, it would be a good OP! You're right, she cannot speak

extemporaneously on any issue lest she either seem robotic or divulge her real positions.

Yes, she's totally free trade deals! She was a leading champion of the TPP and the Atlantic deal is even worse.

[Baobab]

69. when it comes out its going to be personal

what they are doing is beyond the pale

Do you know what "progressive liberalisation" is?

I guarantee you we wont be able to have an intelligent conversation about this. Bug chunks of what I write vanish.

BTW, journalists are looking into this kind of stuff. I'm not the only person this is happening to.

can you see this? (Fix it)

78. Are you familiar with The Intercept?

https://theintercept.com/

They do excellent investigative reporting. They might be receptive. Lee Fang, one of their journalists, is pretty courageous.

[Baobab]

86. This isnt secret. Its common knowledge TO THE REST OF THE WORLD

They even discussed it extensively in the media in India.

(the commodification of education)

Its being hid here because of the pending T I S A and also because it could lead to a lot of job loss, much lower wages,etc. maybe a whole generation never getting good jobs.

Also, because the whole health care debate/"crisis" was/is fake.

[senz]

55. Her supporters are openly pushing "free trade" now

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511573462

[polly7]

61. What a *'ing switch, eh? I can't believe how much things change depending on how

badly some just want to ensure theirs.

[Baobab]

75. Basically, Bill Clinton is the single American most assocated with the WTO

And Hillary is likely to be seen as a referendum on something huge thats not good for us that we have never been told about.

See:

these are terms to search on

"movement of natural persons"

"disciplines on domestic regulation"

"not more burdensome than necessary to ensure the quality of the service"

"fourth mode of supply"

It's information that needs to be out there.

[jillan]

100. Probably at a fundraiser.

[Henhouse]

116. HRC and many of her supporters are Christians.....

She is probably celebrating Easter with her family.

[KingFlorez]

5. Clinton basically ceded the caucuses to Sanders

Caucuses tend to produce more lopsided results because they are about maneuvering.

You all keep talking about entitlement, but Clinton isn't the one who proposed trying to get PLEDGED delegates to go against voter will.

[Ed Suspicious]

7. Whatever.

[morningfog]

17. Lol.

[desmiller]

43. If you say so...

[Beacool]

63. Exactly, she didn't send anyone to Alaska and barely contested Washington.

[Gregorian]

6. Ever since we petitioned Bernie to run for president I've been nervous.

I can finally realize that the country is actually ready for him. It was my hope that he would be understood, and popular. But I had doubts. Even swimming against the establishment stream, the people can see his great value.

[grasswire]

30. He knows it too, now.

You can see it in him.

I'm getting goose bumps.

[desmiller]

44. me too

[Tarc]

10. Yes, a deep red state...Palin country no less...with a whopper of 16 delegates

Roast some marshmallows on that Pyrrhic Victory Bonfire...

[strategery blunder]

13. Washington State, with its 100+ delegates, would like to say hi!

And...with 93% in, Sanders is up by, oh, 45 points.

I'll bring some more marshmallows for the Bona Fide Bernie Blowout Bonfire

[roguevalley]

21. AK isn't Palin country. if you knew AK

You would know that. AK is not deep red. Keep up.

[strategery blunder]

24. I think you meant to reply to the poster above me?

I was actually trying to show unity with Alaskans by adding my state's results (they were pretty similar)

[roguevalley]

29. I hate drop dows. Hugs!

[Tarc]

76. That's great, another open caucus state

Which we're near the end of, so, it's gonna be a bit of a bumpy ride for Camp Sanders from here on out.

[strategery blunder]

81. You're probably not aware that we voted to switch to primary elections

and that the WA state Democratic Party sued to overturn the vote and return to caucuses.

Please stop with the nonsense that caucus states don't count. Especially when the voters passed a binding initiative to go to primaries (irony of ironies: state Republicans respected that vote and simply use the state primary to determine who gets their delegates) and the Democratic party machine used the courts to overturn the expressed will of the voters.

Washingtonians love their vote by mail. Believe me when I say we caucused because it was caucus or bust, not because we actually wanted to.

Hell I wouldn't be surprised if part of today's result was influenced by a desire to say FU to the state party leaders, who have mostly endorsed Hillary....Bernie up by 45 points is a pretty damn big slap in the face to that.

[timmymoff]

108. You are correct

with such brilliant analysis as, he will be done if he loses Iowa, He will be gone by super Tuesday, He will be gone after March 15th, he will only win his home state, I am glad you added another prediction. Shills for Hill, seem to be about as accurate as Dewey defeats Truman.

[morningfog]

18. Don't play dumb.

[Tarc]

77. I'm just playing by your rules, chief

Sanders people always say red states don't matter, right?

[DisgustipatedinCA]

106. Are you able to explain how Sanders had a Pyrrhic victory? Do you know what this means?

The way you used it makes me think you don't.

[Tarc]

118. Sanders spends an inordinate amt of your donation $$ to win states that do not matter

In the end, Sanders wins small battles but will lose the overall war.

So, go give an English lecture to someone else who needs it.

[JackInGreen]

127. Apparently

We've had far different experiences with Alaskans, but don't let that stop you from erasing the liberals in that state, be my guest.

[Dem2]

11. Bill came in 4th place in the WA caucus

It's definitely not Clinton country. Lol.

[Onlooker]

12. Well, she won some of the southern states by similar margins ...

... so I guess Bernie's pathetic, too. But, then again, black states don't matter, right?

[morningfog]

19. The fuck you talking about black states don't matter?

What the fuck. That is some offensive shit.

[Onlooker]

25. There's been a lot of posts to that effect ...

... that Hillary winning the southern states doesn't matter. Perhaps you condemned those, though I doubt it. One thing about the Sanders campaign, it's sort of embarrassing that a group identifying itself as progressive has relatively little support among the most oppressed.

At any rate, calling Hillary's lack of support in Alaska pathetic I suppose makes Sanders support in the southern states pathetic too, eh?

[morningfog]

26. I did condemn them, thank you very much.

And if you read my post, it is her strategy that is pathetic. Coasting on hubris serves no one, especially not dems in the fall.

The "inevitable" front runner losing contests this late by such ass whooping margins is just bad and makes me question her team's strategy for the fall.

[Onlooker]

34. Well, I'm really glad to hear that.

I'm a Bernie supporter who really dislikes a lot of Bernie supporters. I find there's an element of sexism and racism among too many of them that is preventing him from forming any kind of a truly progressive movement, and I have trouble being enthusiastic about him given that blacks, gays, Latinos, and feminists back Hillary.

[senz]

42. I have NEVER seen racism or sexism in Bernie supporters.

I believe it is a dirty lie for the purpose of making PoC distrust the only candidate who has advocated for PoC his entire life.

[Onlooker]

48. I've seen a lot of it ...

... there are live threads now that discount her victories in the south, there have been threads in the past that suggested that her black supporters are uninformed, and there are threads that have referred to her "cackling" and other such sexist remarks. I'm sure I could find examples, but obviously where you're coming from I doubt any amount of proof would move you.

Actually, he really didn't advocate for people of color his entire life. Most of his life was spent living in a state that's only 1% black, so other than a few votes and statements, he really wasn't involved. His active civil rights work ended about 50 years ago. Through no fault of his own, once he moved to Vermont he never had to confront racially charged issues especially with a racially unfriendly constituency. That's why he's not getting much support among civil rights leaders.

[senz]

60. You are twisting things to mean what they don't mean.

For some reason, you're trying to convince PoC that Bernie is their enemy, but the opposite is true.

As for Bernie living in Vermont, he spent his entire life working in D.C. on national issues. There are tons of videos of Bernie speaking out on issues that would harm the most vulnerable, the poor and people of color. HE CARES. Genuinely cares -- not just for the primaries.

But you know that; you just won't admit it. Your specialty is twisting things around to seem what they're not.

[NWCorona]

50. We are dealing with human nature

It seems like everyone is forgetting how aggressive pumas were in 2008. When Obama stepped on to the scene the knives came out. Then he started pulling the black vote, which the Clinton's worked so hard to secure, along with the supers and her supporter's lost their minds(pumas).

Personally I think 2008 was much worse.

[NWCorona]

45. It's like it's OK when they do it

I'm tired of that shit.

[bravenak]

33. Morningfog always comdemns them

[Number23]

97. "it's sort of embarrassing that a group identifying itself as progressive has relatively

little support among the most oppressed."

Now ain't that just a bit odd?

[KingFlorez]

27. That's been a meme around here

"Clinton won the Confederacy" "Red states don't count" and all sorts of other notions have been dismissive of the black vote. Most of the black vote is concentrated in the South. It is indeed offensive, but that doesn't stop certain people from posting it.

[senz]

39. Not true. Why are you guys playing the race card again?

Bernie has advocated for and defended the rights of PoC and other minorities his entire life.

Hillary doesn't even come close.

[BillZBubb]

79. Total bullshit! You try to spin a simple truth into a racial issue. It is disgusting, but

exactly the kind of racial divisiveness we can always expect from a Hillary Clinton campaign.

[senz]

41. They're all playing the race card tonight.

There must be a race-sensitive contest coming up or perhaps they think they can still influence Hawaii.

Whichever it is, it's a dirty thing to do and they should be called out on it.

[Beacool]

62. I think the poster was being sarcastic.

Hillary's sweep of the South was treated with derision on this site by quite a few of Sanders' supporters. The tone deafness and outright whistle blowing became howls. It varied from condescending remarks about AA having "Stockholm Syndrome" to comments about Hillary winning in "Confederate" states that no Democrat will win in the GE and apparently shouldn't count as a win. Of course Sanders winning in Western states that are red does count to some.

The hypocrisy is astounding.

[mythology]

74. It's a fairly natural offshoot of your original post

You claim that Clinton is just coasting to victory and ignoring half the country. But Sanders didn't mount any effective campaign in southern states.

Well Sanders ignored that half of the country which in the Democratic primaries is primarily made up of black voters. So based on your original post that it's pathetic to ignore half of the country, we can logically assume that it's pathetic that Sanders ignored the half of the country that has higher proportions of black voters. Yeah it's offensive, but it's the fundamental underlying logic of your argument, even if you are unwilling to admit it to yourself.

We don't need a candidate who has the hubris and sense of entitlement (I'll even spell it correctly) that thinks he can ignore black voters and women voters and Hispanic voters given how Sanders is doing with those fundamental blocks of the Democratic base.

But also Clinton isn't ignoring half of the country. She is focusing on a delegate and popular vote strategy, which you may notice has her substantially ahead in both with states favorable to Clinton like California, New Jersey, Maryland and New York yet to come.

[desmiller]

40. THAT'S AN ABSOLUTE KICK TO MY SOUTHERN BLACK NUTS!!!!!

NAUGHTY LIST YOU GO!!!!

[GreatGazoo]

14. they are rationing their hopes and efforts

trying to hang on until the Convention.

Clinton is losing this thing. I'm not saying she can't get the nomination but she likely lost in Iowa and her victories have been closer than her losses. The 80 / 20 splits in UT, ID, AK, and WA have this thing moving away from her.

The bird thing on Friday got lots of play and got Sanders back on the radar just in time for everyone in the country to see him completely smoke Clinton in 2 more states.

[bigtree]

15. Sanders dismissed southern states as 'conservative'

...not much of a 50-state strategy to dismiss the overwhelming support from blacks and Latinos in those states.

Sanders has lost every state with minority populations over 20%, except MI where he lost minorities 30-70.

[senz]

32. Bull droppings. Please don't try to sow race-based division.

It's not nice.

[Baobab]

83. Hillary's policies may work out great for African transnational services corporations

But really horribly for African-Americans.

Modes of Supply for International Services

14.1. A key initiative of the international community in response to the rapid
expansion of international trade and investment was the creation in 1995 of the
World Trade Organization (WTO) following the Uruguay Round of multilateral
trade negotiations. The WTO provides a common framework for the conduct of
trade relations among its members. Its main functions are facilitating the imple-
mentation, administration, and operation of the multilateral trade agreements;
providing a forum for further negotiations; reviewing national trade policies; and
securing solutions to trade disputes.

14.2. The three principal WTO agreements are the General Agreement on Tar-
iffs and Trade of 1994, the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), and
the Agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights. GATS
constitutes the first set of legally enforceable disciplines and rules at the multilat-
eral level established to cover international trade in services. GATS defines the
“supply of a service” to include the production, distribution, marketing, sale, and
delivery of that service.

14.3. While international trade in services primarily occurs through the chan-
nel of cross-border transactions, often facilitated by electronic communications
networks, the supply of many services is possible only through the simultaneous
physical presence of both producer and consumer. As a result, in order for trans-
actions to be commercially meaningful, trade commitments must frequently ex-
tend to cross-border movements of the consumer, the establishment of a
commercial presence within a market, or the temporary movement of the indi-
vidual service provider.

14.4. GATS defines trade in services in terms of four modes of supply. The def-
inition of services trade under GATS depends on the territorial presence and resi-
dence of the supplier and the consumer at the time of the transaction. The four
modes include (1) cross-border supply, (2) consumption abroad, (3) commercial
presence, and (4) presence of natural persons. This definition is broader than the
balance of payments (BOP) concept of services trade, which is concerned only
with transactions between residents of a given country and nonresidents encom-
passing modes 1, 2, and 4. While the BOP focuses on residence rather than na-
tionality, certain transactions falling under the GATS, in particular in the case of
mode 3, typically involve only residents of the country concerned.


14.5. The four GATS modes of supply are defined as follows:

14.6. Cross-border supply (mode 1) covers services flows from the territory of
one country into the territory of another country (e.g., banking or architectural
services transmitted via telecommunications or mail).

14.7. Consumption abroad (mode 2) refers to situations where a service con-
sumer (e.g., tourist or patient) moves into another country’s territory to obtain a
service.

14.8. Commercial presence (mode 3) implies that a service supplier of one
country establishes a territorial presence, including through ownership or lease
of premises, in another country's territory to provide a service (e.g., domestic
subsidiaries of foreign insurance companies or hotel chains).

14.9. Presence of natural persons (mode 4) consists of persons of one country
entering the territory of another country to supply a service (e.g., accountants,
doctors or teachers). This mode includes self-employed persons and employees
on temporary assignment (intra-corporate transferees). The terminology “natural
persons” is used to differentiate between individuals and the generic use of “per-
sons,” which covers individuals, branches, partnerships, associated groups, asso-
ciations, estates, trusts, government agencies, and others.

[KitSileya]

110. We have Sanders's own words about Southern and Northern blacks,

Northern black were supposed to be so much smarter than those in the South that voted for Hillary. His supporters calling states that voted for Hillary "The Confederacy", and claimed the voters there had Stockholm syndrome and a "Master/slave mentality".. Your statistics is another example. Yet we are the ones sowing racial discord, who are "race baiting" and are being racist? We are the ones that are twisting things, apparently.

I'm glad I don't see the world the way they do - I prefer reality.

[lunamagica]

31. Alaska, the state that elected Sara Palin. First as mayor, and they liked her so much, they

then elected her governor

[senz]

35. Guess that explains why they like a super-progessive like Bernie

or maybe not.

[bravenak]

36. So true. We did that.

We did. Very rural here too. I live downtown and it feels quaint compared to LA where I came from.

[840high]

38. The crown is slipping...

[senz]

47. Is that why they're telling these lies tonight?

It's horrible to read. I wish they'd say something positive about their candidate instead. By which I mean, something about her personal qualities and achievements, not just dumb stuff like, "Uhh she's still got more delegates."

Surely they can find something nice to say about her.

[840high]

52. I have asked them so

many times why they will vote for Hillary. Usually crickets 99% of the time.

[grasswire]

54. honestly, you can't expect people to say they support her...

....policies now that the mask has slipped.

[Beacool]

64. What crown?

Hillary will win the nomination for the simple reason that more people are voting for her. No one is a queen or king, this is a democracy.

[basselope]

87. And she will lose the general election because less people will vote for her.

[Beacool]

102. Says you.

Polls show the contrary.

[basselope]

104. polls this fsr out are nonsense.

she can't win

[Beacool]

114. Again, that's your opinion and not facts.

[basselope]

115. No, its an actual fact.

You can look up history and discover that polls taken this far out of an election have absolutely no correlation with who wins the election.

It's also a fact that Hillary can't win.

You know it, I know it. Everyone knows it. Some just want to deny it out of some misplaced allegiance.

[noiretextatique]

117. She will not get young people or independents

No matter how many scoldings are issued. She is a terrible candidate...period.

[sufrommich]

51. "ignore half the country"

Austin Texas has more people than Alaska. Land mass doesn't equal people.

[Texasgal]

57. Bernie won in Austin, TX.

Not that it really matters but he did win in Travis County...

[BillZBubb]

80. The one oasis of sanity in Texas!!!!

[Warren DeMontague]

85. There are 50 Million people on the West Coast of the US.

And one of the campaigns has been consistently ignoring us, and our concerns.

[Punkingal]

65. Actually not that unusual...

Campaigns don't spend money and time where they are certain they won't win. Bernie did that in southern states, too.

[Warren DeMontague]

84. She's lost AK, WA and CO so far.

Hmmm, I wonder if there's a connection, there.

[morningfog]

88. Feeling good about OR on May 17.

Chomping at the bit for June 7.

It is looking more and more that both the Democratic and Republcian campaigns will be decided in California.

[Warren DeMontague]

91. Exactly.

[Blue_In_AK]

95. Smoke 'em if you've got 'em.

[Warren DeMontague]

98. Yup.

[pdsimdars]

89. Is she "throwing them under the bus" as they used to say about Bernie?

[StevieM]

92. There is no hubris or sense of entitlement. Hillary has never done well in caucuses.

They strongly favor a different kind of candidate.

She doesn't think she can coast to the nomination and isn't ignoring half the country. She is campaigning hard in New York and Wisconsin.

It is amazing to me that you can't just be happy that Bernie had a good night. You have to see some kind of evidence of unethical behavior here.

Clinton also closed strong in 2008 after Obama had run up the lead.

[morningfog]

93. No unethical behavior, just strategy question and why

she continues to lose so badly.

Concern for what that would translate into an GE.

As for not just being happy, I can multitask. I am very happy for a great night.

[StevieM]

94. As luck would have it, there are no states that hold caucuses in the GE.

I don't see this as being bad strategy--just a butt kicking in caucus states that were never Hillary's strong suit.

I expect her to do better in New York and Wisconsin.

[Kalidurga]

96. It's too bad Hillary didn't campaign harder in Alaska

Bernie might have won by a bigger margin.

[Blue_In_AK]

99. Now, that's funny.

It seems like Alaskans, at least the ones who are fired up enough to caucus, are not in love with Hillary Clinton. She lost to Obama in 2008 by a margin of 75-25, and now this, an even bigger gap. I can't see her ever winning a general election here.

Do you know that you pretty much cancelled your intent when you pointed out it's all white and went for Obama in 2008?
