"I was a solid Bernie voter, but now I'm not so sure,"

[SecularMotion]

"I was a solid Bernie voter, but now I'm not so sure," Mendola said after listening to the former president's remarks, which focused on the stakes of the election and Hillary Clinton's experience. "If Bernie won the primary and lost the general election, I think that would be disaster. So even if don't like Hillary as much as Bernie, I feel more confident that she would win the general election. And I think that's what's going to persuade me to vote for Hillary if I do."

1. Didn't Bill Clinton tell us not to vote our fears?

Why yes, yes he did!

“If one candidate is appealing to your fears, and the other one's appealing to your hopes, you’d better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope!” - Bill Clinton

5. Plus a gadzillion

[HerbChestnut]

15. I'm glad you're voting for Bernie.

For a while I thought you supported Hillary. All I heard from her last night was how people should vote for her or else the Republicans will win.

[artislife]

19. That was a big whoosh over the head...made me chuckle.

Let's win in Iowa Bernie!!

[leftofcool]

27. I will vote for Bernie only if he wins the primary

[bkkyosemite]

2. That has been the mantra

[PowerToThePeople]

3. Each person's vote is their own

I know who I am voting for in the primary and general elections. It is not Hillary.

[Skwmom]

4. The false meme constantly pushed by the Corporate controlled media. n/t

[Rosa Luxemburg]

6. Bernie will win the Democratic nomination and general election

[riversedge]

7. Only in your dreams.

[DJ13]

9. Or only in your nightmares?

8. I am as impressed by this today as I was yesterday when it was posted.

Not impressed at all.

But hey, good to see that some feel the differences in issues between the candidates is best not taken into consideration.

And I think that just yesterday I was accused of not voting for Hillary out of fear of war. The disconnects in the memes and accusations is astounding. And so sad.

[eridani]

10. So what is Clinton's plan for appealing to the 63%? n/t

[TDale313]

11. And yet polls show Bernie doing as well or better...

In potential match ups in the General. And he has a record of attracting independents and Republicans while still standing strong for progressive values. So, no, not buying the "Hillary's more electable" argument as a reason to support a candidate who has consistently supported center-right policies.

28. It's the one nationwide poll that is meaningful and that's the one they discount.

[restorefreedom]

14. shhhhhh. we are not supposed to say that out loud.

only the oligarchy corporate approved talking points allowed!

[stillwaiting]

13. Mendola you were easily rolled. Way too easily rolled. nt

[Punkingal]

16. If only these dummies who say he can't win would realize he can if they would vote the way they want

Instead of the way they are told.

[Armstead]

18. Story of the Democratic Party for 35 years

[slipslidingaway]

22. +1 but it is really the story of both parties and how the majority of people lose. nt

[Kalidurga]

17. Some people vote their convictions some vote based on "winning"

I guess you choose how you roll.

[Juicy_Bellows]

20. What a crock of shit.

There have been mountains of polls and articles saying clearly that Sanders has a better chance in the general than Hillary. What the hell is he going on about?

Something might be wrong with his 'Mendola oblongata'

[azmom]

21. No sale

[Doctor_J]

23. we'll find out tomorrow or Sat that this person was a Clinton volunteer in 2008

Fails the laugh test.

[Alfresco]

24. Bill is doing his job splendidly. :-)

[deutsey]

25. Conversely, a disgruntled Republican friend of mine

(who didn't like Bush and doesn't like Hillary) told me this morning that after hearing Bernie say he'd break up the banks, my friend would vote for him.

[lumberjack_jeff]

26. And yet, Bill and Hillary could only draw 700 people to attend this speech. n/t

[blackspade]

32. I guess only 700 could afford it?

[merrily]

29. That's because the former President did not mention polls that show Bernie winning the general,

but instead, based on zero evidence, claimed Bernie can't win.

[Thinkingabout]

30. The GOP will dump more baggage on Sanders than the Swiftboaters even used on

John Perry.

[blackspade]

31. Sigh.
