In reply to the discussion: Peacelover Hillary voted for an insane war that killed hundreds of thousands, but Bernie [View all]BlueCaliDem
(15,438 posts)They're unpleasant to have any discussion with. They go on other message boards voting down any post that has the unmitigated gall to criticize their preferred candidate. It's a-okay to completely tear down the Democratic frontrunner, but people cross the line if they dare criticize Bernie Sanders or have misgivings about his ability to govern.
But his supporters are also intelligent people. They know darn well that their candidate is weak and can't possibly win - and I'm guessing that all that anger is born from inner frustration, which also blinds them) because they're aware of the weakness of their candidate. That weakness manifests through Sanders' failure to garner a single important endorsement from powerful Democrats; endorsements that are crucial for him to win and, should he by some fluke win, are vitally important in order to get things done.
To date, Sanders has gotten exactly ZERO endorsements. Even Martin O'Malley's gotten at least one. That's clear writing on the wall where his candidacy is heading.
Hillary Clinton's camp just reported that she has 440 super-delegates firmly on her side. She already has the endorsements of 94+ House Dems, 29 Senate Dems, and 7 State Governors - and among that 7 is none other than Bernie Sanders' home State Governor, Peter Shumlin.
So Sanders is gaining ground? I ask you, on what planet?
