What a difference 8 years make.

1. Shhh ... This will surely prompt post upon post about "low information voters".

[bettyellen]

25. The lowest information I have seen lately is this crap about

Clinton giving away our reproductive rights.

Morons have no idea what she has done for the last twenty years. It really hit home with me how much staying out of "identity politics" has helped Sanders appear to be accomplished. And how phony it was to slander Planned Parenthood, when he knows how much harder she has fought for them over the years.

Not having it.

[1StrongBlackMan]

28. Yeah ...

"staying out of the 'identity politics' has helped Sanders appear to be accomplished".

I loved the statement made by the Amsterdam News in it's endorsement of HRC: {something to the effect of} We must have missed the Bernie led protests of voter disenfranchisement and civil rights out of Vermont.



Bernie really torn it the other day with his "Womens rights are important; but, they detract from the REALLY important issues we face" comment. He tried to play it like he was talking about trump making another stupid comment; but, that's not what his words said!

[bettyellen]

30. It's a sticking point- he's told us he has one litmus test for SC- and its

CU. not sure how anyone can convince me this is not a one issue crusade. One that has the balls to impugn the good names of so many people and organizations that worked for other issues.
Why wouldn't we feel like the other?

[1StrongBlackMan]

31. Why can't people understand that very simple point? ...

When you say something, people listen and then assess how what you said affects them.

Most PoC have heard what he has been saying (is his default position) ... and now, some women are, too.

2. Maybe she'll give a speech in which she says,

"...Senator Sanders' support among working, hard-working Americans, black Americans, is weakening again, and blacks...who have not completed college are supporting me. there's a pattern emerging"

[HumanityExperiment]

3. What a difference a few days make...

Shhh facts and reality are being posted about here....

[Chichiri]

4. That's nice. Will he get 50 out of 86 delegates? nt

[HumanityExperiment]

5. Math...

22 Primaries remain, Bernie needs 56% or better to beat HRC through those remaining 22...

so yep... HRC is in BIG trouble, I like Bernie's chances

[Chichiri]

10. Sure -- but to start, he needs 50 of Wisconsin's 86 delegates. Will he get them? nt

[HumanityExperiment]

11. moving goalposts...

that's more than 56% but ok, let's play the moving the goalposts game...

Why is HRC losing in WI now? Why has she basically pulled out of WI and moved onto NY?

Do I believe Bernie is capable of achieving 50, yes, the question I would pose to you... do that concern you that he could...

[Chichiri]

12. That he could win by 15 points? A little, but not quite that much.

The demographics favor Bernie more in Wisconsin than in other upcoming states, that's why he needs more than 56% there.

And if she's pulled out of Wisconsin, you may want to tell her that, because she's coming to Eau Claire and Milwaukee tomorrow.

[HumanityExperiment]

15. Back Channels...

yeah right... save that for the folks that don't know better, that aren't policy wonks and that follow politics pretty deeply

Shall we talk internal numbers? I doubt you will be I'll give ya a chance...

[Chichiri]

18. LOL!!!

This would be the same Seth Abramson who last week argued that Bernie is actually winning the election, it's just that no one but him realizes it!

You'll have to do better than that.

But if you don't, that's okay. I'll enjoy your misery on June 7th all the more if you don't see it coming.

[HumanityExperiment]

19. I'm not worrying...

since we have 22 primaries to go, Bernie just needs 56% or better within each of those remaining to beat HRC

I just have to ask, why can't HRC put this primary away? Each month that passes and he's closing the gap reaffirms that Seth is correct

Each passing primary that Bernie meets or exceeds that 56% threshold will reduce that threshold...

I'll let the facts stand, the internal polling numbers are looking bad for HRC and all I have to do is wait and point to each primary that passes along now to prove that out to ya

[Chichiri]

20. Because it's all proportional. Nobody can put it away until June 7th.

And unless you're doing something illegal, you don't have access to Hillary's internals. (If you're trying to deduce them from her behavior, I'll simply point out how much she has shifted her attention to the general election, while Bernie has again and again broken his promise to run a positive campaign, which he would only do if he feels it's his only chance.)

So there's a chance, albeit a small one, that Bernie will get 56% of the delegates from Wisconsin (he needs more than that, but let that pass for now). He'll probably get it in Wyoming. What I want to know is, what will your excuse be when he doesn't get it from New York?

[HumanityExperiment]

21. LMAO...

She can shift all she'd like... the rest of the primary is kicking her back-end and she's scrambling and losing her composure as she TRIES to pivot to GE only to have reality smack her in the face

Notice the narrative / optics that's playing out in the news cycle today?

this:

[Chichiri]

22. You didn't answer my question. What will your excuse be? nt

[HumanityExperiment]

23. This one?...

"What I want to know is, what will your excuse be when he doesn't get it from New York?"

why would I make an 'excuse' for someone that's closing the gap so quickly?

facts prove out Bernie's ability to close gap and overcome Hillary, WI is an example of that, recall MI? Same thing there.... single primary and given time to campaign gives Bernie the edge

So again, I'm not the one worried...

[Chichiri]

24. So you're saying Bernie's going to get 56% of New York's delegates? nt

[HumanityExperiment]

26. That's the goal...

If trends hold like they have been I fully expect him to hit that mark

[Chichiri]

32. Hold that thought. Nt

[Aerows]

27. What is becoming crystal clear

is that the longer this drags on, and the more people learn about Bernie Sanders, the more they want to vote for him.

[Jitter65]

29. You mean the more they HEAR him. Not the more they LEARN ABOUT him. nt

[Chichiri]

33. This. Nt

[Aerows]

34. I'll take that, too! n/t

[KingFlorez]

6. Out of a sample of like 70 people

Statistically that sample is so small that it's almost impossible to glean anything about it. With that said, Sanders would be leading by a lot more than 6% if he was carrying the black vote by 10%. Just saying.

[HumanityExperiment]

7. Reminds me of MI...

one word... Michigan, just sayin'

We'll see how this plays out shall we?

[KingFlorez]

8. Where Sanders won, but got very few delegates

If Wisconsin turns out like that, I will be quite pleased.

[Goblinmonger]

13. Yeah, but those are black voters in a really white state

Or something like that.

for the impaired.

[HumanityExperiment]

16. HRC internal #s are starting to tank

17. Seemed like that was the case

when she started in on tone, and not debating, and the new lies.

9. bern

Maybe Bernie, too will have better luck eight years from noe.

14. Interesting! Thank you!
