If HRC's supporters are so SURE Bernie can't win, why are they so obsessed with forcing him out NOW?

[Ken Burch]

Shouldn't they just be chilling out and letting things happen in their own good time?

What's the harm in actually letting Democratic voters have a real choice all over the country?

[MohRokTah]

1. There is no purpose to crushing him.

Treating his supporters identical to the way they treat Hillary supporters, on the other hand, is pretty much what any discussions in the primary season are all about.

[NurseJackie]

19. Exactly. Thank you. (nt)

[BlueCaliDem]

29. + 1000. Give as good as one gets; Turnabout is fair play; do unto others as they do unto you.

Something like that.

[Vinca]

33. The old "we're no better than you" ploy?

I'm obviously a Bernie supporter, but I've tried to temper my complaints about Hillary since I may have to vote for her in the general. I very much resent the implication that all Bernie supporters are horrible demons who must constantly be countered by saying things that are twice as bad and twice as untrue as whatever was said about Hillary that got their goat in the first place. This place is starting to sound like recess on the playground. If Hillary is the nominee, Hillary "supporters" will have contributed to any loss by alienating people not usually interested in politics who are now Bernie supporters. Dump on them now and you won't see them in November.

2. To be fair last time it did not end they way that they thought it would

So this time if they seem a bit on edge I understand why lets not judge the candidate by the acts of their supporters

[seabeyond]

4. And again. two voters to every one of Sanders. I see no one sitting on edge. Pure projection.

[seabeyond]

3. Who is forcing him out now? Cinton supporters are confident in the states, a few to Sanders.

[upaloopa]

5. Nobody is obsessed

We are waiting till March and Super Tuesday when Bernie is unable to get enough delegates

The champagne is chilling

[Ken Burch]

7. Super Tuesday doesn't end anything.

And HRC's lead in POC voters is declining, as they realize she hasn't earned their support.

[1StrongBlackMan]

9. LOL ... You're funny. eom

[comradebillyboy]

11. Are you suggesting that Ken doesn't speak for the AA community?

Or POC in general? If he doesn't know, who does?

[Cali_Democrat]

14. As Ken Burch goes, so goes the AA community

[NurseJackie]

20. :-D !!!

[Ken Burch]

23. I'm just noting that the polls show Bernie's POC support is now at 32% and rising.

I'm not claiming to speak FOR anybody.

[Starry Messenger]

25. I really did just spit-take some wine, lol.

[Ken Burch]

22. I didn't claim to speak for the AA community. And I never would.

The polls do show that HRC's lead among AA's is slipping, though. And Bernie is getting more and more AA endorsements.

[AgingAmerican]

30. Then why the vitriol?

?????

[MeNMyVolt]

6. Who the fuck is trying to force him out?

[comradebillyboy]

12. This is the perfect example of a straw man argument.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

16. Exactly what I was wondering

I'm not glued to DU or the news 24-7-365 but this is the first I've heard of it. The primaries haven't even started, which would make any such effort- if it even exists- pretty idiotic. On a related note, I have seen many BS supporters seem certain beyond a doubt that HRC will doom our chances to win the WH next year when arguing for voting for Bernie.

[Nitram]

8. Calm down, Ken, nobody's trying to force Bernie out now.

There's a primary process. Let it run it's course.

[MoonRiver]

10. Who's rushing things?

[Attorney in Texas]

13. whistling past the graveyard

[rbrnmw]

15. hahaha

[NCTraveler]

17. There is no harm and that is what will happen.

The only post I have seen asking anyone to drop out was a recent one by a Sanders supporter with respect to O'Malley.

[Lil Missy]

18. No need to get your undies in a bunch, .....

Nobody in the Hillary camp cares when sanders drops out. You are blowing things out of proportion

[Aerows]

21. It's a campaign tactic

demoralize your foe and continually pound a message that you are the only person that can win.

And oh boy, when that strategy fails, be on the look out for some gutter sniping.

[Sheepshank]

24. I appreciate that Hillary is not taking anything for granted.

She is not resting on any laurels, she is not slacking off. She is working and pushing hard. There is no reason for me to view this candidacy or the campaign any differently.

[Starry Messenger]

26. Who is forcing him out?

[Live and Learn]

27. And why can't they just play fair? Why the ridiculous, unethical attacks? nt

[DisgustipatedinCA]

28. And look--you drew all the desperados to this thread.

They just couldn't let this one go by, I guess.

[Ned_Devine]

31. Exactamundo

[Gothmog]

32. I am happy to wait until Super Tuesday

[brooklynite]

34. Name a Clinton supporter who says Sanders should drop out.

I'll wait...

[Beacool]

35. No one is forcing anyone out.

Sanders will be in the running until he chooses not to be. Who's obsessed? The ones posting hyperbolic OPs are not usually Clinton supporters.
