. . . what your definition of "is" is? Ed Suspicious May 2016 #78

"steep downfall" made me think of something like this: LiberalElite May 2016 #31

He's actually competitive against her in some blue states as well. bobbobbins01 May 2016 #7

There is no other logical reason. There were many qualified candidates libdem4life May 2016 #59

But, but, but it's her turn. She's entiled to it. TheCowsCameHome May 2016 #8

And she's already wildly unpopular on our own side, and independents hate her. onecaliberal May 2016 #11

Troo dat. TheCowsCameHome May 2016 #12

national poll Thursday showed only 18% "honest and trustworthy".. grasswire May 2016 #17

They have been sticking their fingers in their ears and yelling "la-la-la, we can't hear you." Jackilope May 2016 #10

the way Hillary & surrogates treat Sanderistas, you'd think they were TRYING to elect Trump! cloudythescribbler May 2016 #13

well said, scribbler. nt grasswire May 2016 #18

Actually I think they are trying to hide the fact the progressives wing is the *larger wing silvershadow May 2016 #21

Good point. libdem4life May 2016 #63

Their "logic" if you can call it that dana_b May 2016 #44

What do you think of the primary system? 6chars May 2016 #14

I think lobbyists should not be, because I cannot be certain where their ultimate loyalties lie. silvershadow May 2016 #22

I know this will be a bitter lesson nadinbrzezinski May 2016 #37

It's going to be a disastrous day if Trump wins the Presidency. Then the riots, and I do mean riots YOHABLO May 2016 #15

I hope it doesn't happen. nt silvershadow May 2016 #23

then you should be encouraging people to do the one thing that will keep it from happening onenote May 2016 #32

We are in a primary. You're talking General election strategy. We aren't nearly there yet. nt silvershadow May 2016 #40

Why is it too early to encourage people to vote for the Democratic nominee onenote May 2016 #47

I've wondered the same thing. Garrett78 May 2016 #39

Angry white men are blind to POC and women. nt hack89 May 2016 #87

trump hasn't even touched the surface of his attacks on bernie . . . you should realize that DrDan May 2016 #27

we are supporting the only candidate that can beat trump...sanders would be mincemeat beachbum bob May 2016 #28

That's a shallow take on a layered electorate. saltpoint May 2016 #29

The person with the most delegates gets the nomination oberliner May 2016 #30

But we HAVE to nominate someone historic. MadDAsHell May 2016 #33

As long as the historic candidate has a lot more votes what's the problem? DemocratSinceBirth May 2016 #46

I think the oligarchy played this perfectly. The dems nominate a corporatist candidate with Doctor_J May 2016 #35

yes - it really is brilliant dana_b May 2016 #45

Why do some of you think you are immune to a Trump Presidency. JoePhilly May 2016 #36

I didn't threaten anything. Like I said, comprehension problems. onecaliberal May 2016 #97

The people have voted and they have chosen Hillary as the nominee. It sounds like you think Super Metric System May 2016 #53

Hillary was chosen but not by the voters. And the math proves it -- 261 to 2. IdaBriggs May 2016 #55

Over 13 million PEOPLE have voted for her. You can write a book justifying otherwise, but reality Metric System May 2016 #56

And millions more have not. And polls consistently say they don't like her. IdaBriggs May 2016 #57

Using that logic, millions more have also NOT voted for Sanders. Metric System May 2016 #58

And millions didn't vote for Obama in the 2008 primary. That's what happens in a primary. Garrett78 May 2016 #61

Clinton only got where she is by the DNC... AmBlue May 2016 #98

A majority of Democrats have voted for Clinton and refused to vote for Sanders. Agnosticsherbet May 2016 #54
