‘Hard to comprehend’: Sanders’ loss in Michigan crushes staff and supporters
UK Guardian ^ | March 10, 2020 | Tom Perkins

In the days leading up to a must-win Tuesday Michigan primary, Bernie Sanders criss-crossed the state, firing up thousands of supporters and taking the stage with star surrogates in a bid to repeat his momentum-shifting 2016 upset of Hillary Clinton.

As the polls closed, it seemed to some that a surprise win might not be out of the question. But not for long.

The crushing reality of defeat hit the Michigan Sanders campaign staff at a downtown Detroit watch party by 9pm. News outlets called the race for Joe Biden, all but sealing the former vice-president’s nomination and Sanders’ now likely defeat in the race overall. Several staffers shed tears. Others left the party early.

I read this as the Democrats having perfected their election fraud machine and have it ready to roll in November.

First rule of “Democrat Fight Club”, -don’t actually tell everyone you are a communist.

Someday they’ll wake up and realize this country was never going to nominate a Communist.

The big fix is in.

Bernie is out and their village idiot, Joe will be their nominee in name.

Joe will be like their president Wilson was after his disabling stroke, in name only while his wife and others ran the country.

I just don't see how they can say this at this point. Only 23 states have had primaries. So the other 27 states yet to vote don't mean squat ???

Yes. I worry about the fraud very much. I think Bernie is being cheated. I don’t want President Trump to be cheated. I hope there is some planning in the works to keeps things somewhat honest in Nov.

Yep. Hey Bernie Bots, another “friend” here. Just a hint: rope, torches, tar & feather have also worked quite well in the past against “robbers and liars”.

Bernie had the puke Somali Omar backing him.........and this guy.

A (puke) Imam At Bernie’s Rally Said ISIS Was ‘Somehow Connected’ To Israel, That Homosexuality Is A ‘Disorder’

Imam Qazwini, of the Islamic Institute of America in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, said: “I believe we need someone who cares about all Americans, and treats them equally, who does not promote anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, white supremacy, someone like Bernie Sanders who loves all and supports all.” ........


Aint it a kick how well these sixth-century Muzzies are trained in American politics?
This antedeluvian goon regurgitated all the code words liberals demand...... to make libs “feel good” about themselves.

Looks like Christians will have to wait for all that Muzzie love......beheadings.

The Democrat party honchos don’t want Burney.
SlowJoe is almost guaranteed to have the most delegates now.
So it’s over.

It’s not the number of votes you get, it’s who counts the votes.

Can you cheat a guy who’s in on the cheat? What has been obvious to the rest of us had to be obvious to Bernie. After all, the last time he ran proved quite prosperous to him. If there’s one thing that little commie pig is good at doing it’s profiting from politics.

The outlook is if Bernie doesn’t throw in the towel this week next Tuesday might be the end. If Joe sweeps Florida, Ohio, Illinois and Arizona its over for the Vermont Stalin.

So, when do the BernieBots hit the streets for a little payback? I’m guessing they’ll be in a fine mood at the DNC convention.
