Who will win the Democratic nomination for president?

[laughing dog]

Hardly a betrayal of BERNIE.

She endorsed the candidate who was more likely to win and more likely to accomplish anything at all.

That's not how Bernie supporters took it.

That doesn't mean they are not wrong to take it that way.

Unless Warren had previously promised to support Sanders, it is childish for Bernie supporters to view it as a portrayal.

Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat. Look what has happened to the GOP when it allowed a non-Republican (Trump) get the nomination.

HE FUCKING WON

And look what happened.

He became President, LD. That's what happens when you win the election for President.

Unless Warren had previously promised to support Sanders, it is childish for Bernie supporters to view it as a portrayal.

I think the reason they feel betrayed is
1) that they are both supposed to be in the left/progressive wing of the Democratic Party, unlike Hillary and
2) that Bernie tried to get Warren to run. Therefore, he supported her but she did not support him.

Bloomberg has cracked double digits in one national poll, but is still being excluded from the debate because of the silly donor rule. While I think Perez/DNC were right in having increasingly tough requirements for the debate, the donor rule turned out to be a dud.

What are the consequences of a Trump presidency?

Or don't you think it matters, so long as 'your' guy wins?

Again: my two biggest concerns re: Sanders are his age and his ability to accomplish anything given his reputation for being difficult to work with.

Bloomberg didn't need to be in that last debate, as he was on Late Night or whatever it's called, with Steven Colbert. Colbert did a great interview. I'm very sure that more people watch Colbert than those meaningless debates. Bloomberg is loved in the New York metro area, but I just don't see him getting enough support from the rest of the country to make him the nominee. I do like that he said he will support whoever ends up being the nominee, even if it's Bernie, who he has strong disagreements with. Bloomberg, unlike some people, realize that none of the Democratic candidates are as dangerous as Trump. I respect him for that.

We have reached peak liberal obfuscation: winning isn't something we should strive for, because just look at what happened when the opposition won. I'm out. I can't do it anymore. I need a drink

"Difficult to work with" = difficult to buy, bribe, or corrupt.

I want to see an honest politician as president in my lifetime. Why don't you? Do you not think he's going to pick an equally ethical running mate?

 

[Cheerful Charlie]

Not as hard to work with than FFvC. If it came down to Sanders or Trump, there is no contest.

You had Carter already.

Good news for Bernie and Pete. Bad news for Biden and Warren. So-so for Bloomberg.

Warren Vows to Give ‘Young Trans Person’ Veto Power over Her Secretary of Education Pick

The issue with this is the the choice is squarely in Warren's hands. Attempting to move that responsibility onto someone else (whatever the reason) is plain silly. But that won't be what talking heads on either side will make of it.

Brain genius Nate Silver now predicting that Sanders will sweep all 49 remaining primaries. No, I'm not kidding, and I had to check it myself too.

Uh, presidents consult on specialist appointments all the time...

Does he have a history of being right about such things?

They usually don't consult preadolescents. Maybe she could appoint a 5th grader as her chief of staff too ...
