Good morning,

Unlike the GOP counterparts, who have dropped out of the race, Bernie has a mathematical chance of winning the election. Sure he needs two-thirds of the votes cast, but nonetheless he should stay in the race to the end. If for no other reason than to get his message out and make Hillary a better candidate.

I have my doubts that he will win Kentucky tomorrow, and KY has traditionally been red, though our county has often been blue in a sea of red.

Give it all you've got Bernie. Fight for every vote, who knows, perhaps a miracle is shaping up for you.

I suspect Bernie's staying in just in case something bad (worse than [thread=2472954]these things[/thread]) turns up about Hillary, and all the superdelegates switch their votes.

If only the Republicans had superdelegates, so they could influence the popular vote away from certain undesirable candidates.

You understand that literally nothing that comes out Mouth Billary is actually in any way trustable, right? It doesn't matter if people think Sanders is "pulling her to the Left", she will simply say whatever she needs to say to politically achieve her goal, which in this case is getting elected POTUS. She's a Politician, that is to say, she's a Whore - with a massive ego. No different than a Lawyer. These are classes of things that are vile, they play by their own rules, and are policed by themselves.

This is why people even on the Right are at least grudgingly comfortable with socialist Sanders: He's at least an authentic person. Billary...she's the exact opposite.

I see that's why they like Trump for his honesty

Speaking of over inflated blind egos you might want to check your own.

Do you really think that Donald ever believed in Birtherism? Why would he stir that pot o' bullshit if he didn't? Have you noticed anything opportunistic in his ever shifting stance on abortion? What about the never ending contradictory stream of bullshit about taxes, spending & fiscal responsibility?

With the Democrat machine openly stealing the election from Bernie there's no way he can win this thing. I may not agree with Bernie on much but I do find him to be the most honest person in this whole election season and that's why the Democrat party can't risk having him in the White House: They can't buy him.

Stealing? Please. Hilary has received more popular votes from Democrats than Bernie has. Hilary's campaigning for the Democratic nomination has entered that phase - sort of like when a football team is up 5 touchdowns at the beginning of the 4th quarter, so they rest the starting line-up in anticipation of the bigger game the following week.

Actually I love bernie but the only way he has a chance of winning is if you believe in conspiracy theories and they do tend to happen.

Just look at the last few days.. Biden saying he'd be the best POTUS and he'd have Warren as his VP. Hillary parading Sidney Blumenthal around incase shit hits the fan and the FBI saying they're investigating her emails more seriously.

There just might be something there and if she gets indicted, the dems have a choice, Biden or Bernie. I'm willing to bet they conspire to give it to Biden but the people revolt as they want Bernie who actually ran an inspiring campaign and then who knows.

But mathematically its sorta hard unless the superdelegates switch.

Yeh, the fact that millions more people voted for Hillary in the primary have nothing to do with it when viewed from the bunkers of Glenbeckistan.

After all their conspiracy theories about superdelegates screwing Sanders, it's ironic that now Bernie supporters are the ones who want superdelegates to steal it from Hillary and give it to their guy.

The only way Bernie wins is if Hillary is indicted. The only way the Obama Justice Department indicts Hillary is if they indict 90% of D.C. Give it up, dude. It was a good fight, but not meant to be.

It's a lesson to us all: If a politician is honest, he or she will not be elected President, no matter how rich the bribes offered. The problem isn't THEM, it is US. (I'm discounting Trump here because even if he is elected President, it isn't for his honesty since apparently even Trump doesn't know what Trump believes.)

when hillary wins a state, the media is all over it. when bernie wins a state, they keep quiet.

still, he could win. depends what percentage of his supporters is too high to vote during election week.

the hillary keeps loosing but why is she winning??

http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-clinton-sanders-democrats-20160516-snap-story.html Bernie Sanders is on a roll. He's won the last two Democratic primaries and stands a good chance Tuesday of adding Oregon and perhaps Kentucky to his pile of victories.

Yet Hillary Clinton is likely to continue her seemingly unstoppable march to the party's presidential nomination.

How can that be?

Hillary Clinton is not winning because of a conspiracy, or wrinkle in the time-space continuum. Rather, she benefits from the rules Democrats live by. Weren't nearly all of the delegates "pledged" before any of the elections??

Sanders needs something like 90% of the regular delegates remaining to take the lead. Reminder: Hilary leads Sanders by far more than Obama led Hilary. AND, when Obama was beating Hilary, Hilary won most of the last 7 states. That did not sway the superdelegates.

I'm thinking if Hillary wasn't in the running and all other things being the same as they are now, Sanders would get the nod over any other Dem willing to run against him. And then he'd go on to win the big one.

And I get the feeling that there's still some lingering sentiment out there that Hillary is owed the nomination simply because she got robbed the first time around.

Conspiracy?

Just look at the exit polls ... That ought to tell you something.

Crooked Hillary is rigging the votes...Been going on when she bought out the entire superdelegates to her favor. Wake up sheeple, your vote was stolen.
