Bernie is going to blow his top tonight.

[RandySF]

NBC is reporting that the campaign is "all wound up" after those two articles hit the intertubes.

[LexVegas]

1. That was a fucked up campaign organization. Jesus. nt

[Renew Deal]

2. It gets crazy in the end.

[BobbyDrake]

19. What do you expect from a campaign that was staffed with near-100% old white men?

Their time is over in the Democratic Party, and now they know it for certain.

[joshcryer]

3. Whatever happens tonight will calm down after a few days.

[Doctor Jack]

4. Cooler heads will prevail

Democrats don't spend years or decades caught up in their raw emotions.

[PepperHarlan]

5. Wtf is the holdup with his speech tonight? Totally bizarre

[Renew Deal]

6. That's what leads me to believe he might end it.

I interpreted the MSNBC story the same way as the OP.

[PepperHarlan]

7. Could be.

It's clear he's getting crushed in Cali so it's definitely not because they think they can still win.

[BootinUp]

8. 2 articles? I only seen 1

[bettyellen]

16. One summary article has a link inside to the longer more detailed story.... So they overlap.

[Number23]

22. Where are the articles?? Help me out, be!

This is the only one I've seen http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/bernie-sanders-campaign-last-days-224041 is there another one??

This bit from the article is absolutely breathtaking:

Take the combative statement after the Nevada showdown.

“I don’t know who advised him that this was the right route to take, but we are now actively destroying what Bernie worked so hard to build over the last year just to pick up two fucking delegates in a state he lost,” rapid response director Mike Casca complained to Weaver in an internal campaign email obtained by POLITICO.

“Thank you for your views. I’ll relay them to the senator, as he is driving this train,” Weaver wrote back.

The day he released that idiotic statement, half this board was screaming about how "brave" and "principled" it was and come to find out that even Sanders' own apparently overwhelmed and incompetent staff realized it was a train wreck and one of the stupidest, most counter productive actions of his campaign. Perhaps they are not nearly as far gone as I've always thought they were.

9. I've just gotten through reading the article on Politico and...

WOW

I never knew Sanders was the kind of person being described in that Politico article. He comes off as sounding unhinged IF what was written in that article was true. I'd heard rumors that many of his colleagues didn't like him in the Senate, and we knew of that battle he had with Barney Frank, but goodness.

Bernie can't be happy about being totally Destroyed in California the way he's being tonight. I mean, the shellacking he's taking in California is akin to a KNOCK OUT in boxing.

21. TPM wrote an article weeks ago that let everyone know that Sanders was calling all of the shots

and choosing to not only go after Clinton instead of Trump but to increase the angry, "I deserve this but the world is out to get me!" rhetoric. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/it-comes-from-the-very-top

He had a bad campaign staff and strategy from the start and it appears to have gone completely off the rails at the end.

10. I don't blame him

I was pretty pissed after reading the hit job in Politico. What was the other article?

[RandySF]

12. The layoffs

[geek tragedy]

15. He should be pissed at his own staff nt

[kennetha]

11. I bet Bernie is minimally gracious, maximally defiant

He feels cheated out of his entitlement.

He's pissed off.

He feels disrespected.

Wouldn't be surprised if he hinted at an independent run

Delay is because calmer heads are trying to talk him down. But he is stubborn and full of himself. And can't admit failing or defeat.

[bettyellen]

13. And THIS is why I can't go to sleep till I know. pls Bernie be cool!

[democrattotheend]

23. He never felt an "entitlement"

Unless you mean an entitlement to a fair process.

I don't blame him for being pissed off, especially after what happened on Monday. I think he might have conceded last night if the AP had not short-circuited the process and waited until the point last night when she was declared to have a majority of all available pledged delegates.

Hillary didn't concede the night of the last primary in 2008 either. And I don't care that it was closer - it wasn't that close, and she refused to concede after all primaries were over and Obama had a certain lock on the majority of all pledged delegates. I don't see why the margin matters at that point.

14. if I was him I would sack out and deal with it Wednesday (if I could get to sleep that is) nt

[TwilightZone]

17. Agreed. Tired and frustrated is not the time to give a speech of this magnitude.

[bettyellen]

18. He red! I'm scared! Lol

[TSIAS]

20. This doesn't seem like he's blowing his top

It's a pretty standard speech. He hasn't said anything bad about your Clinton.
