I'm supporting Bernie, but here's what I see:
the Revolution may not be televised, but the Coup certainly will be. Although more and more people I talk to every day are becoming aware of Bernie and liking what he's saying, although I'm still sending money and putting on the bumper sticker and attending Bernie house parties, nevertheless the fix is in: Endorsements are overwhelmingly going the other way, polls are surging for Clinton, talking heads and bloggers and print scribes are honing their narratives about Trump/Carson or some Real Republican vs. Hillary.
The line is clearly drawn, and it's been loudly stated by Bernie Sanders many times: people must rise up in sufficient numbers to throw off the politics of the last 40 years and reclaim a functioning democracy, or else we'll be witnesses to our continuing decline into fear, nostalgia and decay.
I'll continue to work in my late-primary corner of the world for a better politics, but what I'm seeing in the headline-and-TV states is a coup, and its power to dazzle and numb those who might otherwise make a bold leap into something better cannot be overcome in modern America. Bernie is offering something different, but we're not ready for it.
You DUmmies are either too stoned or broke to make anything happen.

Talk, talk, talk. That's all they do.
How can I get that team of DUmmies in gimp masks to pull my sleigh on Hallowe'en if they don't come out of their mom's basements?

The problem here is that the Bernie bullies on Skins's island think they know better what the Democrat party needs, than do the professional Democrats, who've actually put their time, money, and energy into the Democrat party.

Bernie's desire to have the USA become a Marxist paradise (or as you falsely label what you want: a "functioning democracy") overnight would be a coup. Hillary isn't your enemy, primitive. She's just better disguised and will do it a bit more slowly than he would.
What a joke. As if liberals want a functioning democracy. No you don't!! You want big gov't totalitarianism. And every time you say "the gov't needs to.....", you prove it.

WHEN CRABS ROAR
41. Conduct your own unscientific pole, here's how.
On a large 2 foot by 3 foot foam board write
HONK
FOR
BERNIE
Go to a busy intersection and hold the sign up high so the drivers can read it.
A couple of things will happen, it might get loud with horns honking and others will realize how many supporters he has.
Now is the time for a real progressive populist movement, but the message needs to be clear and not overly complex and it needs to be repeated over and over to drive it home into the minds of the people.
Then Bernie will win.
OK, I admit that's funny.

Proof that even the DUmmies know that people who support or might support Bernie are not to smart.

Although more and more people I talk to every day are becoming aware of Bernie and liking what he's saying
Your social circle is very small, Grasshopper
although I'm still sending money
I'll bet that I outspent all of your political contributions this year at lunch today
and putting on the bumper sticker
Now THAT is why big things happen
and attending Bernie house parties
And that sounds creepy as f**k
nevertheless the fix is in: Endorsements are overwhelmingly going the other way, polls are surging for Clinton, talking heads and bloggers and print scribes are honing their narratives about Trump/Carson or some Real Republican vs. Hillary.
Welcome to the party, Ron! You act surprised while most of us saw this coming 6 years ago. (psssst....she was supposed to have been elected crowned 7 years ago!)

We'll be watching the rest of Bernie's campaign too, just from a distance...

73. If this isn't a Coup, then there never was one.
History will have a hard time showing a more devious one.
But you can't fool ALL the people ALL the time, and republicans who haven't figured out yet that many Democrats don't support the coup will vote in greater numbers than they ever have...
And those of us who support the coup may not get what they were promised. There aren't enough cabinet seats...
There's the pity of it. We're going to hand the presidency over to the republicans. And with the crazy bunch in the House, there goes our SS and other entitlement programs.
But they may be lost anyway if the coup succeeds. We are not privy to those speeches on Wall Street, which may have promised even greater wealth.
Wait... is this DUmmie saying the republicans are causing the coup? Against Bernie?

70. I love what Bernie stands for, but this nation at this point in time is not ready to elect a Democratic Socialist (his own words) as POTUS and like it or not, if out of protest when Hillary wins the nomination Bernie voters stay home for the 2016 Presidential election and we wind up with ANY of those idiots running for the GOP nomination, this country is doomed. They'd hold the House, Senate, Supreme Court AND the White House. So, like Bill Maher has said; "If you can't have the fish, eat the chicken"
but... we own all the voting machines...

78. All they have to do is get her through the primary, and they will ensure that her establishment counterpart is the GOP nominee, then the election can proceed unabated because they got the win-win setup they want.

62. How does Sanders get enough Democratic delegates to endorse him?
These delegates are all Democratic Party leaders, insiders and VIPs. Sanders has spent his political career denying that he was a Democrat and only using the party when it was necessary to advance his position. So far, he hasn't been able to convince the powerful bloc of loyal Democratic super delegates to throw over their own party and back him as the nominee.
Clinton is well on her way with 391 endorsements from Democratic Party Senators, Representatives and state governors, while Sanders has 2. The numbers just don't add up, so how is he going to flip the math?

Most of the time, but the Sandernistas are plenty revolting without them.

Well, probably the Bernie bullies on Skins's island should fold up their tents and submit to the heels of the primitives supporting the worthier candidate for the Democrat nomination--apparently Messalina Agrippina's got more than 500 of the superdelegates now committed to her.
Too bad for Methuselah and the Bernie bullies; but such sudden collapses happen when one's all puffed up with pompous arrogance, intolerance for other people and points of view, underestimating and disrespect of one's opponents.
<<<hopes the primitives on Skins's island supporting Messalina Agrippina grind the Bernie bullies down into a fine dust; it couldn't happen to a more deserving group of rectal apertures.

Dear lurking dummies, Hitlary has the dirt on people and is willing to use it to get her way, bernie doesn't. The math won't flip. Get used to it.

The hard core Marxists at DU who support Socialist Sanders believe this election...like all elections is just one conspiracy with predetermined candidates and outcomes and therefore someone like Bernie never has a chance because the fix is in.

She's had the dirt on everyone since those 200 FBI files turned up in her closet in the private residence at the WH. I'm convinced that's how the Dems get GOP house reps and senators to cave so often on Liberal legislation and policies.
