    That’s not evidence. I can find all kinds of news articles that say a giant meteor that passed through our solar system last year was really a spaceship.

    I can point to massive amount of studies and news articles that say gun control work, climate change is real, and crime went down while illegal immigration was at its highest too.

    The truth is Bernie lost by a lot. He was done after South Carolina when Hillary Locke’s up the African American vote. He was never ahead in any nation’s polls and got crushed the vast majority of primary states. He only hung on through caucuses because while he had a lot less voters they were more devout and once those doors close that’s it.

    Bernie is a bum and ran a bum campaign. He got his ass kicked fair and square. His supporters and republicans hang on to this nonsense because they hate Hillary.

  4. I know, but it's fun to get the berniacs blood pressure up. The DNC put in rules, after the McGovern fiasco I believe, to make sure party officials would be able to rein in campaigns that made them nervous. Bernie's was really the first time they had to go to it. He clearly fit the intention of the superdelegate rules. He was an elderly loser Marxist from a tiny state with zero accomplishments his entire career. Yet he somehow connected with the sizeable room temp IQ wing of the party. I think everyone more or less understood that, but the problem was the DNC would have done the same thing to any other candidate, no matter how rational or appealing. To the extent there were credible alternatives to Hillary, they saw that and knew to back off.

    Bernie was there as a sparring partner for Hillary Clinton. He was not going to win in any way, shape, or form. Hillary wanted it to appear that she actually had a primary challenge because if Bernie was not there, people would have claimed that Hillary was handed the nomination and all resistance was crushed.

    The DNC does not have a primary anyway. They are very transparent about the fact that they have super delegates and if the primaries do not go their way, the super delegates will install whoever they want. In 2008 there was a lot of talk about the super delegates dumping Obama and installing Clinton instead. If Obama was not black, they likely would have done it.

    Bernie Sanders does not deserve to be a candidate for a major party. He is a very evil person and deep down in their hearts, even his most diehard supporters know that.

  6. Bernie Sanders came about because the leaders of the Democratic party were shoving Hillary down the throats of the people for the 2d time. They tried it in 2008 but Obama came from nowhere and took over and they had no choice to make a deal- her support in exchange for a cabinet position and 2016.

    Bernie, not being part of the party leadership did not get the memo in 2016 as Biden certainly had to step aside and wanted to run and got the support of those who again were not happy having HRC shoved down their throats.

    Let's see if the democrats learned their lesson about talking form both sides of their mouth about the poor and minorities and the people while acting like an elitist party organization that they really are.

  7. Bingo. Bernie was never supposed to be a contender, he was just there so Clinton could give the appearance of being middle of the road. Their plan backfired when it turned out that Bernie was much more popular among the left than the Queen B. Collusion among the Clinton campaign, DNC and media was the only way to bring him down.

    Bernie was a joke and was NEVER going to win. If you bought into his campaign, then the joke is on you.

    BTW, he has NO CHANCE in 2020 either.

    He is a weak person and has nothing of value to offer.

  9. Are you having a conversation with a voice in your head because your reply has nothing to do with what I said.
