Briahna Gray is still at it tonight....

[George II]

Just minutes ago:

[mcar]

1. Say goodnight, BrieBrie

[TwilightZone]

2. This is democracy, Briahna.

Welcome to it.

[dalton99a]

3. She'll vote for Jill Stein

like last time

[Codeine]

4. We're doing some democracy right now

and it ain’t lookin’ good for you.

[Stallion]

5. Democracy is Exactly What We are Seeing

rarely in my 55 years of following politics(I started early) have the people spoken so swiftly and forceably

[aikoaiko]

6. That is a bizarre thing for Clyburn to say.

even if it is true that Joe will win the primary.

[George II]

9. It's a practical, sensible thing for Clyburn to say.

[aikoaiko]

10. Changing the rules to favor your preferred candidate is practical for some people.

[George II]

11. What RULES have been changed? Not this again. He has NO chance of success going forward....

....for the good of the Democratic Party, for the good of the country, he should throw his support behind Joe Biden.

[aikoaiko]

12. Clyburn wants to end the debates to protect Biden.

If Bernie wants to stay in, he should. And the DNC should stick to the debate schedule.

[Cha]

14. James Clyburn wants to end the debate bc BS

has No chance of winning.. and he wants to beat trump.

[George II]

15. He's suggesting that the right thing to do is for Sanders to concede and we move on immediately...

...to the campaign against trump.

I'm so tired of people thinking the "rules are changing", the primaries are "rigged", the "establishment is against him", etc.

No, rank and file DEMOCRATS have spoken and they want Joe Biden to represent us the rest of the way.

Time to face reality, there isn't going to be a "revolution".

[aikoaiko]

17. That's not what the OP said. The OP said Clyburn wants the DNC to shut it down.

Sure, rank and file Democrats have spoken. I couldn't have said it better.

[Todd79]

21. I don't mind Bernie staying in

If he shifts the tone of his campaign. If he wants to promote his agenda in debates, then I’m all for it if he cleans house and gets rid of the bomb throwers who keep lobbing shots at Biden.

Biden will be the nominee. There’s no debate about it. Trying to damage the nominee just for the hell of it then he should drop out. If he calls off the dogs and quits the establishment schtick, (of a party which he is not even a member of), then maybe he shouldn’t have run as a Democrat.

[TwilightZone]

25. "The OP said Clyburn wants the DNC to shut it down."

Because the primaries are over, as Clyburn noted.

Context is a thing.

[TwilightZone]

24. "Clyburn wants to end the debates to protect Biden."

The primaries are over. You might want to start getting used to the idea, because Sanders will likely withdraw in the next day or two. Clyburn was clearly talking about the debates being cancelled in the context of the campaign ending.

[sheshe2]

13. What rules were changed?

[George II]

16. What? Bernie didn't win. That was the pre-eminent rule ever since he became a candidate.

[sheshe2]

20. All righty then, I understand.

Thanks!

[George II]

22. let me try this thing.................Bazinga!

[sheshe2]

26. ;)

[aikoaiko]

23. The OP stated that Clyburn wants the DNC to cancel the debates.

That's what I meant by changing the rules.

[sheshe2]

28. Pretty sure that if the rumor is correct..

Pretty sure that if the rumor is correct and Bernie is dropping out then the debates are cancelled.

[aikoaiko]

29. True.

[sheshe2]

30. Thanks, aikoaiko.

Thanks for you kind answers.

[LanternWaste]

33. Reading for context is damnable thing sometimes...

especially when doing so effectively denies our pretense of righteous rage, our pretense and irrelevance in regards to changing rules.

As a youth growing up in a southern baptist church, I watched every Sunday morning the practice of literalism lacking context as a horrible enemy of the rational mind. It's best to avoid that doing as such... even if it comforts your narratives.

[aikoaiko]

34. Nice spin.

Even if Bernie had far fewer delgates and less support the idea that the DNC should shut down the primary is a repugnant statement.

[RhodeIslandOne]

31. He shouldn't have said it.

Keep your cards close to the vest. I get the feeling Bernie is ready to step aside.

[Blue_true]

18. A virus that is pretty much an unknown is spreading across the country.

Trump has badly mismanaged the response to the virus.

Do we really want to risk Biden or Bernie catching the virus as they run through the remaining primaries, when from tonight's results and last week's results, it is next to impossible for Sanders at this point to win the nomination. Clyburn is being a leader, he likely has asked himself whether it is wise for both candidates and their supporters to get a sickness that could kill them.

[CatMor]

7. Democracy was already tried ....

it's called voting.

[PatSeg]

8. That is Bernie's decision

Briahna, not your's. Give it a break already.

[Maru Kitteh]

19. Her actions are weak, tired and stupid.

She just might, maybe, want to be employable in the future. Have a think, Joy, before it's WAY too late.

[NYMinute]

27. Sore loser

She was hoping to be the white house press secretary. Now she'll be ... just a secretary somewhere.

[oasis]

32. Bernie should throw in the towel tomorrow. Pay staff and send them

on their way.
