Sanders: 'We are in till the last ballot is cast' 01:34


Bernie Sanders' backers are unhappy with how they were treated at the Nevada state convention this weekend

Some Democrats are now worried about violence at the national convention in Philadelphia

Bernie Sanders, Democratic establishment battle boils over navada

"We've had the same rules in place that elected Barack Obama. These rules were adopted for state parties all across the country in 2014," she said. "They were followed and even if the Sanders supporters were frustrated, there is never, under any circumstances, a place for violence and intimidation to be resorted to in response."

ValerianSteel:
Drop out Bernie.Stop dividing the party simple.



Why the hell is he complaining about a rigged system.He should deal with the truth!Simply face reality and that means staring at the math.

Lucasbalo:
You will surely lose your money. There's no pathway for him getting 270 electoral votes.

Well if you look at the map Trump may win by a landslide. OH, PA,and FL are in play.

KY, WV and MI are in play

New York will certainly be in play. You can be sure that Trump will remind New Yorkers that Hillary is from Arkansas and only a New Yorker because of political power.

Also follow the polls and see how Trump is closing the gap

Bernie fighting till the convention may just be an added boost to Trump.

My money is definitely on Trump to win in November

Many Democrats are disenchanted with her ideologically, but that’s not the only reason she’s suffering. Hillary is a politician in the John Kerry mold — she does inexplicably self-destructive things without actually having an impetuous, id-driven self-destructive streak.

Who else but a tone-deaf bumbler would have spoken the insanely infelicitous words — “we are going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business” — that destroyed her in West Virginia and made Kentucky so hard for her Tuesday night?

We all know she wanted to sell herself to environmentalists, but surely she could have found a way to do so without celebrating the elimination of working-class jobs during the Populist-Resentment Olympics that constitute the 2016 election cycle. Surely this has to be counted among the dumbest self-inflicted political errors of our time.

But forget that recent boner. How about the fact that she took giant speaking fees from banks and hedge funds and Wall Street in 2013 and 2014 knowing full well she was about to run for president in a party that hates banks and hedge funds and Wall Street?

And did so, moreover, when it was money she didn’t need, given that her family net worth was north of $100 million when she did so?

Just imagine if she had denied Sanders that issue by never having taken the dough in the first place; his candidacy might never have taken off had it not been for the way he hammered her over her refusal to release the texts of her Goldman Sachs speeches.

Call it greed if you like, but idiocy is another suitable word for it.

Look, the least damning theory anyone can come up with about the decision to shield her emails from public view by setting up a private server is that it was an act of paranoid stupidity.

Her uncommonly gifted husband was always getting himself into trouble, but at least it was fun trouble. Her trouble is boring, plodding, unimaginative, ill-considered trouble. Bill Clinton is larger than life. Hillary Clinton is smaller than the office she’s trying so hard to occupy.

But before those of us who run the anti-Hillary gamut — from Hillary skeptics to Hillary cynics to Hillary haters — dance a celebratory jig around her troubles, we’d better sober up and consider the cold, hard truth about the results.

Across all 48 contests thus far, Mrs. Clinton has racked up 56 percent percent of the Democratic Party vote as against Sanders’ 41 percent. (By contrast, Donald Trump has received 41.2 percent of the GOP vote.) Two million more people have cast their votes for her than for Trump, and that margin is unlikely to close by the end of the primary season precisely because Sanders is making her work for every vote.

Bernie is going to help elect Donald Trump as president, and his supporters, will get just what they deserve.

Unfortunately the rest of the country is going to suffer also, for decades to come. This is no different than the selfish anti Vietnam War protesters who helped elect Richard Nixon in 1968, or the assholes who backed Ralph Nader in 2000, and gave us 911, trillion-dollar deficits, and a second Gulf War from which we still have not recovered, and probably never really will completely. If you're upset about citizens united, or Heller, all you have to do is look at Ralph Nader and the people who voted for him, some of the outspoken ones who now support that semi communist from Vermont. Because Chief Justice Roberts and Samuel Alito brought us these horrible Supreme Court decisions, and if Al Gore had been elected president, those two arch conservatives would never have been appointed to the United States Supreme Court. So you can look at this in many many ways , but if the Sanders supporters continue to be so anti-hillary that they either refuse to vote or don't work against the election of Donald Trump, then what I am predicting will come true and they will only have themselves to blame for it.

Unfortunately they won't look in the mirror and see the truth, because they are so narcissistic, like the old man that they support, and so stupid, that they don't understand economics, or world affairs, that they certainly aren't going to see that they themselves are to blame for what will take place after this election, if they are successful in killing Hillary Clinton's chances.

CFCman:
Hillary Is Running A Painfully Stupid Campaign


http://nypost.com/2016/05/18/hillary-is-running-a-painfully-stupid-campaign/

Though I'm not anti-Hillary, I think the author made some salient points about Hillary bungling her campaign

CFCman:


New York will NEVER be in play. Trump is just blasting hot air by thinking the NE would be in play.

The other states in your list will, however, be toss-ups.

ValerianSteel:
She needs to pull it all together.She's trying so hard to level off attacks from Trump at the same time she hasn't been able to get rid of Sanders.This is where the problem lies.She wants to bring Bernie or bust supporters aboard and that is proving hard with Bernie still in the race.

Right now I see a likely scenario where Sanders continues his long streak whining and eventually runs as an independent which he should have done from the first day.I also see a third party candidate from the GOP circles.

We might be seeing a four man heavily contested race soon.The likelihood of how that would favor Hillary I really doubt,the earlier she gets rid of Sanders in the next two weeks and establish herself as the candidate with the most popular votes the better.Then she would have a lot of work to do bringing Bernie's independents aboard her train.

CFCman:


Sanders has pledged that he wouldn't run an independent/third party campaign. And I take him at his word on that.
The more likely 'strong' independent campaign will be from the conservative and libertarian side.

Already, there are rumors of Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska being recruited into an independent campaign. Jill Stein of the Green Party could yet make it a 4-person general election race if she get on the ballot in more states than the present 21 states and DC in which she is on the ballot.

I only see her clinching the nomination at the convention, as she will only garner a majority of the pledged delegates on June 14, when she must have won the Washington, D.C. primary.

ApostleT:


Never say never Regan who was trailing by more than 30 points at this stage eventually won New York.

Bernie supporters can tip the balance. The longer Bernie stays in the race and give the impression that Hillary ultimately bought the nomination the more likely angry Bernie supporters may swing to Trump in NY. Afterall Trump is a native New Yorker. Don't forget that if Trump can capture 70% of NY independents who were not allowed to vote in the NY primaries Trump can pull a big upset. Which will almost certainly guatantee him as the next POTUS.

ValerianSteel:
Trump will get the votes of conservative New Yorkers but he won't win New York as the overwhelming liberals would seal him off.Hillary has a lot of appeal in New York.

ApostleT:


Is your analysis based on what you read in the media or the reality of NY state? You analysis is a textbook one but in reality Hillary isn't that loved. Hillary is as divisive as Trump. It's a case of two candidates not well liked.

Missy89:

Clinton will win NY with her eyes closed.
She had over 1 million votes in the primaries, Sanders lost with 700k votes and Trump won with 500k.
NY is solid blue

I agree that NY is a blue state but I was disappointed that Hilary didn't whup Sanders as heavily as I expected. Scoring 58% of the vote in a two-man is a mere win. Trump racked 60% even with two other competitors. Kasich was still in the race at that time and he took away some votes that would have gone to Trump. Did you know that the NY Dem party closed registration months before the actual primary and many Bernie fans couldn't vote.

Bernie is really fighting to the end. The GOP roforofo has ended and the Democrats want to start their own. If Sanders doesn't emphatically endorse Hilary, even Obama may not be able to help her win his fanbase over

Once the other Republicans embrace Trump (although with their hands over their noses), the only thing that will deny Trump the presidency is the Electoral College. Those guys are another kettle of fish.

So let me get this straight, the President who's job it is to appoint the next Supreme Court Justice has been denied a hearing on his pick but Donald Trump who hasn't been elected has already announced who he would pick and Republicans have no problem with this. Let's just burn the Constitution why don't we!

There are lots of ways to slice and dice this. Sanders is more popular with white voters than with black and Latino ones. Among all racial groups he does better with younger voters than with old ones. Sanders does better in caucuses; Clinton does better in primaries. Sanders does better in open primaries; Clinton does better in closed primaries. Democrats allocate delegates proportionately, so Clinton's blowout win in Georgia netted her a lot more delegates than Sanders's narrower win in Michigan.

But here's the thing about these nuances: In the crowded, confusing Republican field there's a strong argument that different rules might have created a different result. That's just not the case in the Democrats' simple head-to-head matchup.

A great many people would like Bernie Sanders to be the Democratic nominee. But a somewhat larger number would prefer Hillary Clinton, and that's pretty consistently been the case. Sanders has said he wants to stay in the race until everyone's voted, which is fair enough.

But when all the votes are counted, they're just going to show what these polls show — a lot of people like him, but more people like Clinton. That's really all there is to it.

ValerianSteel:
A lot of people like Sanders but More like Hillary,that's the reality Bernie needs to face.



http://www.vox.com/2016/5/18/11699890/clinton-sanders-poll

ValerianSteel:
It's the reality in New York.She's a more popular candidate among New Yorkers than Trump and she has significant advantage as a Senator for New York.She led Obama by 17 points in '08.New York has always loved her best.She served well as Senator and that has not been forgotten.

The primary was homecoming all over again,November will be a yuge coronation for her in New York.That's the reality.

ValerianSteel:
”Party Unity my foot”-That's the message from Sanders.He doesn't give a fvck about the party and he is ready to wrestle the nomination from Hillary even after loosing.
The people have spoken,they may like Sanders but Clinton is the woman for the job,Sanders should deal with it.

Can someone just put him in coma till January before he destroys the Democratic party entirely.No one forced him to come under the party's banner and run.He should have remained an independent.If we don't adhere to caution,Grandpa Bernie would hand the White House to Trump.

Just when I thought Republicans were the laughing stock,democrats are currently scripting SNL day in day out thanks to Bernie Slanders.

Sander is the most selfish communist I have ever seen. There is absolutely no path to nomination yet he wont drop out. Worse than Kasich
