Hillary Losing Ground To Avowed Socialist Bernie Sanders – The Democrat Party Has Moved Further Left….

Posted on June 21, 2015 by sundance

Moonbats within the DNC, the “Occupy” crowd, have been working diligently for years to push the Democrats toward their socialist utopia. In turn this has pushed the Democrat party even further toward the land of the Moonbats.

For the Dem’s with visions of multi-cultural pot-smoking circles, filled with sustainable tree and sand-smelt worship, their uptwinkles are reserved exclusively for Bernie Sanders. Hillary Clinton, down twinkles.

(The Hill) It may be time for Hillary Clinton to take the challenge from Sen. Bernie Sanders more seriously. Sanders is surging in the race for the party’s presidential nomination.

The Vermont Independent has drawn huge crowds of supporters in Iowa and New Hampshire, and pulled within striking distance of Clinton in some Granite State polls.

“This is not a protest campaign,” Sanders declared at a breakfast with reporters in Washington last week. “This is a campaign to win.”

He’s also a powerful presence on social media, where supporters are eager to share news about his campaign.

While Clinton remains the runaway favorite, the strength of Sanders’s challenge — particularly in the states hosting the first two nominating contests — is starting to get attention.

“Primary voters in New Hampshire are looking around,” said Democratic strategist Brad Bannon. “They at least want to shop around a little bit before buying. Based on that alone, it’s probably time for the Clinton campaign to take Sanders seriously.”

One of the problems that the Sanders surge poses for Clinton is that Democrats say there’s a risk in taking him head on.

Doing so could rally his supporters, alienate liberals (she needs) and elevate Sanders as a challenger...

But according to another story earlier this morning, Hillary is beating every Republican candidate.

bernie saunders is gaining ground because hillary clinton is such a miserable candidate. she sucked in 2008, which is why she lost, and she still sucks in 2015. And now we know they’re still as corrupt as any south american dictator.

the dem party isn’t too far from panic right now. look for john kerry, who is still butt hurt about 2004 and is actually more qualified than hillary, to jump in at the secret suggestion of party leaders.

Both parties have moved to the left.

The leftists in this country have moved so far left that a liberal of 1990 is now seen as a right-wing wacko

Guess Obama isn’t sufficiently Marxist-Leninist for many Americans.

How long before we’re lining up around the block for our weekly allotment of toilet paper?

Obama has been ideologically convincing to a majority of Americans and particularly to those who only occasionally pay attention. It amazing to me how few people even know about what is happening with other people’s healthcare, the business environment or foreign relations.

JFK would be a nobody in his party today.

I you rely upon the conventional media for your news and information, you're not going to know squat about any of those subjects.

I can't take Sanders all that seriously as a candidate for one reason that appears to have slipped the notice of the media nomenklatura: Bernie isn't a Democrat. Yes, he caucuses with them, but he isn't beholden to the Democrat party in the way that a machine politician such as Hillary or Warren is. So unless that machine intends to turn the reins over to an Independent, Bernie's going to be a little problem for them.

There will be earnest public asseverations of class and ideological solidarity to be sure, mostly as soma for the masses, and the progressive media will be working overtime to paper over the difference, but the movers and shakers, the money men and the lever-shifters, they are unlikely to be swayed much by enthusiastic blasts of hot air.

Look for a series of media stories proclaiming this problem solved. You'll know by them that is hasn't been.

The Democrat Party Has Moved Further Left


Unfortunately so has the GOP.

This time they want you to vote to give your country fraudulently documented foreigners.

The thought of voting for Hillary is making the base vomit.

Sanders is pure protest.

Imagine Bill groping the interns again. Selling nuke technology to our adversaries.

Disgusting.
