This Sanders supporter is looking forward to the primaries being over.

[Barack_America]

If there's a bright side to Sanders not being the nominee, it's the opportunity to forget about this election until November 1, or so. And, even then, care just enough to check how badly Clinton is polling against Trump in Michigan.

Instead of fretting over every headline and poll, I'll spend my summer enjoying the last few months of relative political calm and sensibility before having to face the turmoil of President Trump or another Clinton impeachment.

The last eight years were better than the eight before, and the coming years could have been even better still. But...a different choice was made.

Oh well, what's done is done and I've got a summer to enjoy.

[Live and Learn]

1. Not so fast, there is a lot more work to be done. Check out Brand New Congress. nt

[MADem]

2. Really?

And, even then, care just enough to check how badly Clinton is polling against Trump in Michigan.

I hope you're terribly disappointed, frankly (and I suspect you will be) --what a rotten thing to say on a board called DEMOCRATIC Underground.

[seabeyond]

31. Ah see, I didnt read the whole post. I stopped at enjoying the summer, so my interpretation

of the Op was much more up.

[seekthetruth]

34. What's so special about being banned from a board...

.....when I simply spoke out against Hillary's policies which favor further environmental degradation, further economic stratification of our society, and further "America-first" exceptionalist policies towards the Middle East?

We're going to see more war, more money to the top "earners", and more oil train explosions due to continued fracking.

The only winners are the ignorant in this election.

[MADem]

43. Are you a sock of the OP?

If not, why are you talking about "when I spoke out...?"

My response was tailored to respond, specifically, to the thread creator.

The only winners in this election are the American people, who are going to get the MOST QUALIFIED POTUS of those on offer, and one who will go down in history as one of the best, ever.

Sit over there on the sidelines, and observe, if you don't want to be involved. You'll see.

[hrmjustin]

3. You sound like you are rooting for her to lose in the general.

[NCTraveler]

5. It's a twofer.

Rooting for her to lose in the general and rooting for failure when she wins. They covered all of the bases outside of saying she kicked the neighbors dog when she was twelve. They are saving that one for the right moment.

[hrmjustin]

11. Yep! Rather transparent.

[Barack_America]

15. Sorry, no. Resigned that she'll likely lose, and resigned...

...that she'll likely be impeached even if she wins.

I hope you at least realize that if not defeat, then impeachment, is the goal of the Judicial Watch suit? It's pretty basic Republican strategy.

[NCTraveler]

17. Can you tell me what you see that makes you think...

She will lose to Trump?

Nothing out there is telling me that. Tough fight? Yes. Declaring a loss as you are? It's not based in anything real. It's an opinion and one I find to be flawed from the start. It's actually not even an opinion on my part. It's a fact that you are reading crystal balls.

[Barack_America]

18. Independents hate her and she inspires almost nothing in most voters...

...especially in young voters, who need to be inspired just to show up.

That translates into a loss in every modern election.

I welcome you to show a poll that disputes this.

But, hey, like I said, it is what it is now. And if she stays within the MOE in Michigan, as she is now vs. Trump, maybe I can take an anti-emetic and manage to vote for her. I will be there voting for every other Democrat on the ballot.

[NCTraveler]

19. Polls are currently showing her ahead. Nt

[Skwmom]

20. You do realize they are holding back on going after Clinton, don't you?

[NCTraveler]

22. Now I know you aren't serious.

[Barack_America]

21. Sorry, no. Only recent MI poll has her within the MOE.

She's up +4, and the MOE is 4, that's a statistical tie.

[NCTraveler]

24. That's how you have determined Trump won?

[Barack_America]

25. ?? Has won

I don't understand your post.

[NCTraveler]

27. My bad.

That is how you have determined Clinton can't win?

Hope that's better.

[politicaljunkie41910]

37. So we've seen the impeachment playbook before. And the GOP didn't come out of that

too well either. So based oan what you've said, we should just accept the GOP abusing the Impeachment process while letting Rome burn once again like they did when President Obama was sworn into office and the GOP made a conscious decision to let the economy go to hell as a way back into power. How noble.

BTW it is a shame that someone with that much hate in their heart would post under the name of our distinguished President.

[Barack_America]

40. Sorry, those of us who campaigned for Sanders are the ones who tried to stop the GOP.

We failed, but we are not to blame.

[MADem]

44. Because those fucking righty lunatics at "Judicial Watch" have had SOOOOOO much success in the past?

Please. They've been around forever and have very little to show for it. They're vermin. Who's afraid of a mouse? You put out a trap, SNAP, and toss the lot in the trash.

I think this place will soon hold no charm for you--and your name is so sadly ironic, because once this thing fires up, you're going to see a LOT of BARACK all across AMERICA...campaigning for Hillary CLINTON.

Get used to it, and get used to the phrase "Madam President."

[Barack_America]

6. "Resigned" is the word.

[Shadowflash]

7. There is a huge difference between

actively rooting for someone (which this poster didn't come ANYWHERE near doing) and being realistic about the election.

[Lord Magus]

16. Expecting Trump to win Michigan is "realistic"?

[Barack_America]

23. Trump and Clinton are statistically tied in the only recent poll.

So, sorry, Trump very well may win this state.

[Lord Magus]

26. Nope, there's no chance at all of that happening.

And "statistically tied" is a distortion. You don't get to just pretend every poll is actually worse for Clinton than the actual number by whatever the margin of error is.

[Barack_America]

29. She's +4 and the MOE is +/- 4. That is a statistical tie.

How familiar are you with Michigan politics? How long have you lived here?

[democrattotheend]

45. I didn't see it that way

I think what the OP was saying is that he/she would check to see if it was close enough in Michigan to feel compelled to vote for her instead of casting a protest vote. Am I right?

[NCTraveler]

4. I truly hope you have a beautiful summer.

Most Americans will be trying to enjoy it while ignoring politics as well. Unfortunately, far too many are unnecessarily struggling to the point they won't be able to enjoy it. That's why I stayed in it after O'Malley dropped out. Clinton was my clear next choice after studying Sanders. Way too important for me to just go enjoy my summer, though there is sure to be some fun.

[xynthee]

8. Good idea. I'm gonna focus on gardening and Diff'rent Strokes reruns for a while

Surely Hillary can't ruin my garden or my TV watching!

[Barack_America]

9. Lol. Sounds good!

I'm off to battle the weeds myself.

Learning a valuable lesson in "pre-emergent weed killer" this year.

[sadoldgirl]

12. Same here! I just had to buy thousands of

ladybugs to try to reduce the aphid infestation.

Besides I found a new and friendlier place to
participate in without smears or lies.

[brooklynite]

10. I'll be enjoying a week in Tahiti...

...then REALLY enjoying a week in Philadelphia.

[grossproffit]

14. I hope you have a wonderful time. Just thinking about that crystal clear water makes me smile.

[LoverOfLiberty]

13. Good to know that some of you

are reaching that last stage of acceptance.

[Zorra]

28. At least we'll know that either the planet will survive, or we

should make peace with our inevitable deaths from impending systemic widespread environmental collapse.

If Bernie wins, we still have a shot at survival. If he doesn't win...

[seabeyond]

30. Me, too. And so many learning experiences. This was certainly a different kinda of election.

I am ready to jump in and play, with the First woman President.

Big thumbs up to you. And yes. A higher in all things. Enjoy your summer, you certainly have a solid perspective.

[NightWatcher]

32. Hillary should pick someone for VP who would act as Impeachment Insurance

Pick Warren and/or be sure that the repuke controlled congress will impeach Hillary in February

[Barack_America]

36. They'll still impeach her, no doubt.

It's a tremendous opportunity for them to unite after the whole Trump debacle.

Warren would just make it less likely they'll try to get the votes.

[larkrake]

33. amen, I can work state races and not give a damn about the GE for Pres

enjoy hikes and BBQs, and make money with no stress whatsoever, happy Bernie and Warren are re-united against the evils in Washington. Before the bridges fall and roads break up.

[alcibiades_mystery]

35. Oy vey

[Aerows]

39. Can you honestly say

that you will regret seeing the end of this primary?

It's like saying "I'd like for a root canal without anesthesia that lasts way longer!"

[Aerows]

38. I've been over this election 2 months ago. n/t

[Barack_America]

41. Amen. I should have been as well.

Tried, but couldn't.

But now? No problem. I tend to look away from car crashes.

[CobaltBlue]

42. Post-primaries—A Trump-vs.-Hillary has this to offer: coloring the electoral map in red and blue.

That’s it.
