Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, victor over Hillary Clinton in the Oregon primary on Tuesday, told supporters in California that he is pressing on with his campaign and would win there on June 7.

Moreover, black people LIKE Trump.
“A significant percentage of the democrat electorate are in favor of socialism”
Cuing Captain Obvious!
Hillary wins battle, loses war.
“She won’t be able to replicate the Obama coalition.”
Do you have any data on how dumbasses who identify as republicans voted for obuma?
Bernie will be a force to be reckoned with, no doubt about it. The RAT convention will make what happened in Nevada look like a love fest. Even if Bernie’s delegates are good party people and don’t raise a stink, his base surely will raise one. He will be Hillary’s Veep - the only way they can heal that breach - unless Øbama tells DOJ to take her out. I think that will happen before the convention so the RATs can insert Slow Joe.
Wow, a lit of Democrats stayed home.
Or voted for Trump.
Obama is picking her VP, it’s the price of coverup.
Patraeus can’t hold office. That’s the price of mishandling classified documents.
“pick a more “centrist” VP like Petraeus.”
Isn’t Petraeus a felon?
Her VP choice is between a minority and a socialist.
Minorities and socialists may not vote for Trump but may not turn out for her either.
Obama only won because minorities who never vote in presidential elections turned out for him. Will they turn out for Hillary? Maybe, if she picks a black or hispanic VP. But then the Bernie supporters will stay home.
Yep. anyone over the age of 21 that supports either of these two socialists should be put on a plane and sent to Venezuela for a year, to experience firsthand the inevitable outcome of socialist policies.
I take this as sarcasm, since by those same lights Hillary Clinton is similarly disqualified. If she wasn't one of the highest ranking of our political elite class, she'd already be in federal prison.
I’ve been saying the same thing for months.
Trump matches up well against Hillary. He’s the “outsider”, she’s the consummate insider. Trump doesn’t match up well against Sanders. They’re both “outsiders” and Sanders is better at it than Trump.
We want the dem nomination to be a nasty, knock down, drag out war that Hillary has to use every dirty trick she can think of before she wins. The Democrat electorate has been taught to hate. They don’t just disagree respectfully with whoever they don’t support - they turn their opponents into ENEMIES who must be crushed. Bernie has played right into that anger, ginning up as much emotion and rage as he can.
A Hillary victory - where she’s seen as having “stolen it” using parliamentary/dirty tricks will piss off a significant portion of the dem electorate. Some will say “I vote Dem” and vote Hillary. A number of those folks will stay home. Another number of them will switch sides to Trump.
That’s the best case scenario for us and every day Sanders stays in the race but gains no ground is a win.
“To me, this ongoing saga says two things. 1. Hillary is not liked by a significant portion of the democrat electorate, and 2. A significant percentage of the democrat electorate are in favor of socialism. The question I have is what percentage of the Bernie voters are anti-Hillary, and what percentage are pro-Bernie and pro-socialism? “
The above hits all the nails squarely on their heads. Those indeed are the essential questions.
No kidding. I see tons of rank and file union voters going their own way.
Or will the Bernie voters switch and vote for Trump?
no, it’s not sarcasm.
Holy Yipes!!!
Bill Kristol & Mitt Romney...
Bill and Mitt self-identify as Democrats, which is why they use the women's room...
But like I said -- she has political armor a mile thick. What she has done is much worse than what Patraeus was convicted of.
