Michigan to Sanders: The revolution has been cancelled

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In a stunning turn of events, Democratic primary voters have chosen not to upend American society with a collectivist revolution. Hard to figure out just why - is it the record low unemployment, rising real wages, generally low crime rate, the end to America's longest war? Regardless, we can now say for certain the Bernie Sanders Revolution has been cancelled. Turns out people like dull and quiet a lot more than storming the Bastille. Better luck in 2024.

The fact is that the numbers for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) keep dropping relative to his performance in 2016. He is not expanding his coalition - and doesn't seem interested in making any effort to do so. Typical of ideologues, Sanders has decided it's his way or no way. And Democratic voters have opted for no way.

Democrats in Michigan have ended the Sanders campaign as any threat for the party's nomination and have done so decisively. Not even a meltdown by former Vice President Joe Biden at the debate on Sunday can save Sanders given his abysmal performance yesterday. Sanders once again lost ground everywhere from his 2016 performance. Earlier multi-candidate contests gave Sanders an excuse that he could do better with a one-on-one matchup. Not anymore.

Sanders threw everything he had at Biden - and failed to even scratch the paint.

The revolution will not be televised.

24. Ha!

2. Keith Naughton is a Republican political consultant.

Between him, Jennifer Rubin, David Frum, Bill Kristol, Republicans sure don't seem to like Bernie Sanders! Gee, I wonder why?

4. BS has lost time to move on !

7. Twenty six states/territories have voted. Sanders has lost 18-1/2 of them (tied in New Hampshire)...

Washington is on the verge of being called for Biden.

Of the 7-1/2 states he's won, only two had available delegates above 36 (Colorado 67 and California 415, and even in those two states his "wins" have been small)

It's not just republicans who recognize that the revolution is over, almost everyone - left, right, center - know it's over. As a matter of fact, it never really got started.

9. Funny how it's Republicans who keep getting posted here then, right?

[ehrnst]

19. How about Jacobin? What are they? And wasn't Cenk a Republican, too?

Still left with only frantic ad-hominem attacks, and no actual analysis of the content, I see.

29. You are certainly consistent in holding others to a higher standard than you hold yourself.

But let's face it... you'll pretend the unreliable, questionable, and subjective sources you post are immune to the criticisms of bias you imply in all other sources.

Because sacred cows, miracles and The One absolves you of these our sins. Amen.

12. It's your side who said it was good to bring Joe Rogan types into the tent.

So why not Jennifer Rubin types?

[TexasTowelie]

13. Ouch!

[ehrnst]

16. Oooohhhhh....

[sheshe2]

17. +1

[George II]

20. That's going to leave a mark.

[NurseJackie]

25. Daaaaaaamn!

[Cary]

14. No need to wonder why

They have told you why, over and over.

[ehrnst]

15. LOL - Rich coming from a defender of Joe Rogan AND Cenk Uygur...

And you still can't get beyond ad-hominem attacks and actually address what's in the posts that really hit home that you're so upset about.

Keeping them kicked, tho..

5. Yesh.. "stunning".. didn't see that coming. Mahalo Mich Dems!

8. Who would have thought Biden would win each and every one of the 83 counties in Michigan?

[NYMinute]

10. Especially since Sanders held 4 rallies an a townhall in the last 2 days in MI

starring Jesse Jackson, AOC and Michael Moore.

[George II]

11. Speaking of "Jackson", one of those rallies took the place of a Town Hall in Jackson, Mississippi.

So he cancelled a rally in Jackson Mississippi and wound up losing EVERY county in the state, in lieu of a rally in Michigan, the state in which he ALSO lost every county. A move of political genius!!!!!

PS - the "town hall" wound up being a stump speech with no questions from the attendees.

[ehrnst]

21. Yes, the "town halls"

Where people who are his supporters tell their story of a problem that they are grateful to Bernie for being the ONLY one who has ever, ever considered to be important or worthy of attention.

[George II]

22. I guess that's why Biden won 81% to 14%, ya think?

[ehrnst]

23. But... but.... but....

[greatauntoftriplets]

27. Did JJ, AOC and MM provide the music?

[NYMinute]

28. LOL

[ehrnst]

18. After coming in just a day before. That must've really stung. (nt)
