She was never as far behind Obama as Bernie is behind her. She was at most 150 pledged delegates behind and he's over 300+ and there's no way he's going to make that up with the states that are left that are big delegate #'s. Stay in but stop the trashing. However, I just heard on the news that he said he's just getting ramped up, not about to tone it down. What a MF'er. He doesn't give a damn about the party that was his biggest donor for 2 elections or helped him to get elected! If Bernie isn't re-elected to the Senate at the age of 78, do you think he'd turn down six figures for a speech? No way!AKRNHSNCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-78354022921613001822016-03-21T12:31:40.889-08:002016-03-21T12:31:40.889-08:00Bernie has been talking about running for Presiden...Bernie has been talking about running for President and a revolution since 1985! Why didn't he run in '12 when he wanted someone to primary President Obama? When Hillary brought up the fact that he wanted President Obama primaried, he tried to deny it, but it's definitely true. Instead, he said to her, "I'm not the one who ran against him, you did." What a ridiculous response. When Clinton vs. Obama campaigned, it was Senator vs. Senator, not someone from his political party trying to challenge him. Bernie likely didn't run in '12 because if he had, he knew that the African-American votes for him in '16 would be non-existent, not just bad, but almost zero after having primaried our first black President. Why else do you call for a challenger and then run four years later when you're 75 years old?<br /><br />He's also hidden his assets under his wife's name to appear poor. He rails against those with money but he and his wife had both made six figures a year in any job they have had for the last 25 years plus. He owns two homes, one in Vermont, the other in D.C. and if he is only worth $350k as he claims, he's not the person that belongs in the oval office. He'd be an extremely poor financial mgr. if that's all he has to show for it after all these years, especially with credit card debt of tens of thousands of dollars. Too many issues that are unexplained IMO. <br /><br />I'm also sick of him saying he's the only one who beats Trump. The only reason it looks that way is due to a lack of opposition research being released by the GOP on him because they prefer to run against him rather than Hillary. He knows this but keeps spreading this b.s. and believing everyone else is stupid!AKRNHSNCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-87138434796547877632016-03-21T12:19:55.409-08:002016-03-21T12:19:55.409-08:00TPP, Keystone, free college, and her emphasis now ...TPP, Keystone, free college, and her emphasis now on income inequality which she would not be talking about at least if not for Bernie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-80269017609328497992016-03-21T09:38:31.867-08:002016-03-21T09:38:31.867-08:00What is this crap about the DNC rigging the vote f...What is this crap about the DNC rigging the vote for Hillary? <br /><br />Now are you going to blame Hillary that there were only 3 candidates and one of them is an independent?<br /><br />I also find it appalling that Bernie tried to pin the blame on Hillary for the protesters,after Trump said they were Bernie supporters.

The difference between her and Sanders is she is practical about how to move forward. Sanders simplifies ever problem to economic inequality and the greedy millionaires and billionaires. He's got a great populist message but he's wrong. It's more complicated. Just one example: you can tax Wall Street and the 'millionaires and billionaires' and get more kids a college education and you still have the racist problem.

However, Bernie supporters fail to see ANY problems with their candidate and think that the only wrongdoing has come from Hillary. She's still standing strong after 25 years because of all the PHONY scandals and blatant LIES, not because she managed to evade all the inquiries made into every aspect of her life, some of them extremely intimate and ridiculously intrusive. As for Bernie, he has yet to be hit with any opposition research from the RW'ers but if they do, they will use whatever they have and what they don't have, they'll manufacture, just as they have done for Secretary Clinton. <br /><br />In Blue Nation Review they spoke of this same idea, that Bernie has not yet been put under the spotlight and examined for his past and present flaws. They said the following: <br /><br />"When the conservative machine cranks up and kicks into high gear, Bernie will be eviscerated, turned into an aging cartoon Commie, a flip-flopping America-hater, a 60s holdover writing bizarre essays about free sex and child rape fantasies, a non-Democrat Democrat whose embrace of the NRA undermines his claims to purity, a politician who voted against the Amber Alert system, a draft dodger, and a man who thinks women’s rights are a distraction." <br /><br />If those who don't know Sanders were to read the above, would they believe that an accurate description? A small percentage might but once you break those down into individual charges, they might believe one or two, and then after reading them in another article, they'll start to accept more. It's what they do to candidates and Bernie won't be exempt. The only reason he has been until now is because they want to run against him, not Hillary. If he were to switch places with Hillary somehow, you'd see the attacks begin immediately and they wouldn't hold back.
