a third letter to WillyT

[franksolich]

Hey WillyT.

Yeah, dude, it’s me again.

And it’s gonna be “me again” over and over again, until you and your buddies acquire some good manners, or until the supporters of the worthier candidate grind your faces into the dirt…..whichever one comes first.

Apparently declaring war on those of African derivation isn’t enough to satisfy your blood lusts, as it appears the Bernie bullies have now decided to hound, hector, harass, and humiliate women too.

I’m referring to the way your jackboots dealt with the boston bean primitive, getting her temporarily expulsed from Skins’s island because she had the effrontery to hold Methuselah up to the same standards your thugs and bullies are trying to hold Messalina Agrippina.

It seems pretty fair; what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

I’m really confused, dude; how “democratic” is suppressing a mildly opposing viewpoint?

Isn’t that more like fascism or totalitarianism than like “democratic”?

Wouldn’t a true democrat insist, “well, I disagree, but you do have the right to say your piece too.”

I must remind you, dude, that silence gotten by blood never lasts; it resurrects louder than ever.

You’re so full of it, WillyT, acting all high and mighty, acting as if your side’s already won, when your side hasn’t won shit yet, and isn’t likely to.

If I were you, dude—but I’m not you, and so it’s not gonna happen---as leader of the Bernie bullies, I’d post, and pin to the top of the forum, a humble apology to the boston bean primitive, and to all other primitives similarly treated in the past simply because they prefer to support a worthier candidate.

And then I’d order my minions—actually, your minions—to cool it on their Hate and rage, as it’s gotten out of hand, turning people off.  I’d tell them rather than trying to liquidate those who don’t think like they do, they need to live and let live.

But you don’t have the balls to do that, WillyT; you don’t have the balls to apologize to the wronged and to chastise the wrong-wroughters.  You’ve probably been singing soprano all your life, ass.

[BlueStateSaint]

I believe that the correct term for him would be castrati, Coach . . .

[franksolich]

Hey Willy.

Yeah, it's I, franksolich.  I'm back, Willy.

One of the characteristics of primitives, including yourself dude, is their inability to see what's going on outside of their own selves.  I really doubt, for example, that most primitives are even aware that walrus-faced Doug's been gone for a while, or that the green commode primitive's been dead for a while, or that hippyhubby Wild Bill's kept hippywife Mrs. Alfred Packer away from the cooking and baking forum for years and years now.

Primitives tend to notice only those things, those people, those events, that directly affect them.  If it doesn't, as far as the primitives are concerned, it doesn't exist.

I suspect franksolich's own absences from the DUmpster excite little or no interest among the primitives, and that's okay; that's the way I want it.  It's a lot easier to pull a carpet out from underneath someone, or place a banana in front of someone, when that someone isn't looking.

Anyway, so we got all these big primaries on tap today--which is why franksolich has returned--and on the surface it seems to look good for Methuselah.

However, things are rarely as they seem, Willy.

Clinton has a huge lead over Sanders in total delegates. According to The Associated Press, she holds 1,231 delegates compared to 576 for Sanders. Those totals include superdelegates, the lawmakers and other party officials who have direct votes at the end of party’s nominating contest. Clinton leads Sanders with these voters, 465 to 25.

Clinton could still win more delegates [than Methuselah] with big victories in Florida and North Carolina but close losses in the other three states.

I dunno the state of the morale of the primitives supporting the worthier candidate, but I urge them to be steadfast, to be of good cheer, to get out and vote, and to sharpen their knives for what's to come.  It's gonna be jolly for the righteous.

[franksolich]

Willy and his herd of Bernie bullies need to get out of their self-absorption and see what's going on out in the wider world.

This is a little over a month old, but it's still relevant, very relevant, read it and weep as decent and civilized people read it and rejoice:

Bad news for Bernie Sanders supporters

If you are a Bernie Sanders supporter, I’ve got some bad news for you: nothing significant will change if your guy gets elected.....

It's not gonna happen, even without Messalina Agrippina, but anyway, read on:

.....Here is the simple reality of the American political system: it was designed to prevent significant change. We have three branches of government intended to check and balance each other. We have states intended to check and balance the federal government.

There are only three real areas where presidents can effect significant change: 1) foreign policy 2)judicial appointees and 3) the bully pulpit. Bernie is only likely to bring change in the latter two areas. So, if you are content to have a lot more left-wing judges and a lot more talk about inequality and social justice — but not much actual action — then by all means “Feel the Bern.”....

.....If you want to claim that the Obama presidency brought change, I would point to two “accomplishments” of note: the disastrous Obamacare bill and the worthless Dodd-Frank bill. Yes, these were two significant pieces of legislation, but remember they took place when Obama had a Democratic House AND a filibuster-proof Senate. There are no scenarios where Bernie enjoys a Dem House and Senate.....

.....So, let’s say Bernie wins in 2016. He will face a Republican House galvanized more than ever to stop his brand of Socialism. The Senate will probably be won by the Democrats, but probably with 51 to 53 Democrats at most. And then come the 2018 elections, which are likely to resemble, more than anything else, the shellacking that Obama suffered in 2010. This is simply a reality that nearly all presidents in recent U.S. history have faced: off-year elections are usually punishing for presidents, and this happened to Obama in 2010 and 2014, and it will almost certainly happen to Bernie.....

.....Meanwhile, Republicans have made huge gains on the local level. I urge you to read this article if you still think the Obama presidency was all awesome and stuff for Democrats.....

The shift in party affiliation over the past seven years is absolutely incredible. In 2008, there were 35(!) states that were either solidly or leaning Democratic, five solid or leaning Republican and 10 judged as competitive.....

.....From 2008 to 2015, Democrats went from a 30-state lead to a six-state deficit when it comes to states solidly or leaning their way on party affiliation. That is simply stunning.....

.....Gallup’s findings are in keeping with what I think is the most under-told story of the Obama years: Republicans have made massive gains at virtually every level of government other than, of course, the White House.

Republicans have their largest House majority since World War II, having retaken the majority in the 2010 election. They hold a four-seat majority in the Senate, having seized control of the world’s greatest deliberative body in the 2014 midterms.

At the state level, Republicans have 31 governorships — almost two-thirds of all the governor’s mansions in the country. Republicans are even more dominant at the state legislative level; the GOP holds total control over 30 of the 50 states’ legislatures and has partial control in another eight states — meaning that more than three-quarters of the country’s state legislatures are controlled by the GOP.....

.....The reason for the Republican popularity on the local level — in contrast to the horrible image of the Republican Congress on a national level — is that Republicans on a local level are actually a small government party dedicated to lower taxes, lower spending and less regulation. During the Obama years, people have shown less and less trust in government to solve their problems.  There is no reason to suspect this would change with a president even more left-wing than Obama.....

.....The most significant thing the Obama years has done for the Democratic party on a local level is devastate its bench of future candidates. If you are wondering why the Democrats have two old, white candidates to offer for president — while Republicans are offering a lot more variety — it is symptomatic of a Democratic party in decline after seven years of Obama. This may also explain why the most popular current presidential candidate — Bernie — is an independent, not a Democrat.....

.....On foreign policy, a Bernie Sanders presidency would be just as disappointing to noninterventionists as the Obama presidency has been. Bernie’s votes show he nearly as much of a hawk as Hillary, and he has shown little desire to actually decrease U.S. militarism. The Daily Beast article “Bernie Sanders Love This $1 Trillion War Machine” is one of its most popular recent articles. So, a wise observer would be very skeptical of any claims that the Bernie foreign policy would be very different than the Obama foreign policy. Maybe Bernie will paint peace signs on the drones before firing them at Yemeni wedding parties?....

[franksolich]

Hey Willy, you worthless piece of you-know-what.

I've been looking at the numbers, particularly the ones for superdelegates.

In today's races, we've got:

Florida, 18 pledged to Messalina Agrippina, 2 pledged to Methuselah
Illinois, 20 pledged to Messalina Agrippina.....0 pledged to your guy
Missouri, 12 pledged to Messalina Agrippina.....0 pledged to the sourassed sourpuss
North Carolina, 8 pledged to Messalina Agrippina, 1 pledged to His Senility
Ohio, 13 pledged to Messalina Agrippina, 1 pledged to the old man

That's 71 for the worthier candidate, 4 for your candidate.

Geezuz gawd, what the Hell were the Bernie bullies doing while the lady was harvesting all these delegates?  Did you think you didn't have to work for them, that they'd just fall on your laps without any work on your part?

Typical Bernie bully thinking.

[freedumb2003b]

Hey WillyT.

And it’s gonna be “me again” over and over again, until you and your buddies acquire some good manners, or until the supporters of the worthier candidate grind your faces into the dirt…..whichever one comes first.

Hello, it's me.

[franksolich]

With 15% of the vote in, Messalina Agrippina's leading Methuselah 62-35%.

<<<bets WillyT's sweating, and hoping he is.

[franksolich]

It's now Messalina Agrippina 66%, Methuselah 32%.

I imagine WillyT's dismissing Florida as "not counting."

WillyT and the Bernie bullies however need reminded it seemed that Florida counted for very much back in.....2000.

So maybe they shouldn't be taking this lightly.

[franksolich]

Hmmmm.

Florida now 67% for Messalina Agrippina, 31% for the old sourassed sourpuss.

[franksolich]

First returns from North Carolina indicate another Messalina Agrippina landslide, 64-34% right now.

WillyT and his Bernie bullies are probably insisting North Carolina doesn't count either.

<<<bets that come November, North Carolina like Florida is going to count for a lot.

[franksolich]

Now, it's w-a-a-a-a-y too early to get one's hopes up, but anyway first returns from Ohio are 68% for Messalina Agrippina, 31% for the old guy.

<<<on knees, praying.

[franksolich]

The margin for Messalina Agrippina over Methuselah in Ohio is w-a-a-a-a-y too good to believe.

<<<am watching to see what sorts of dirty tricks the Bernie bullies are going to pull in Ohio; they're going to pull something that ain't kosher.

[franksolich]

I think it's finally safe to say that Florida belongs to Messalina Agrippina.

WillyT and the Bernie bullies might insist, "Well, we didn't expect to win Florida anyway."

Well, if Methuselah didn't expect to carry Florida in the Democrat primary, how the Hell is he expecting to carry Florida in the general election?

Too bad.

[franksolich]

And now it appears North Carolina is owned lock, stock, and barrel by Messalina Agrippina.

WillyT: But we didn't expect to carry North Carolina anyway.
franksolich: If you didn't carry North Carolina in your primary, how do you expect to carry North Carolina in November?

[franksolich]

I think it's too early--but what do I know--but Drudge has given Ohio to Messalina Agrippina, which gratifies one muchly.

[franksolich]

Well, I guess this is all one needs to say, about this round of Democrat primaries:

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/03/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-democrats-220793

Clinton clobbers Sanders in Ohio, Florida
The Democratic front-runner is seeking to break away from Sanders in the delegate count.

Hillary Clinton scored a trio of early victories Tuesday night, trouncing Bernie Sanders in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina.

With more than 70 percent of the vote reported in Florida, Clinton had 65 percent to Sanders' 33 percent. In North Carolina, Clinton had 58 percent of the vote to Sanders' 38 percent, with 8 percent of precincts reporting. In Ohio, she had 66 percent to Sanders' 33 percent.....

I surely hope the primitives supporting the worthier candidate now understand the wisdom of heeding the advice and counsel of franksolich.

In case anyone's forgotten, I'd reminded them to be of good cheer when their morale was rock-bottom.

[franksolich]

Well, I really need to hit the sack, because like the big guy in Bellevue, I'm not well.

But before then, I'll leave this for WillyT, with the hope it assists him with sweet dreams, confident that God on this evening has spared America:

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/273190-clinton-pads-delegates-lead

Clinton pads delegates lead

Hillary Clinton will leave Tuesday night having added to her already significant lead in delegates.

Clinton entered election day with a lead of about 200 delegates, and will leave with a lead of about 300.

As of 1:10 a.m. on Wednesday morning, Clinton has 1,094 pledged delegates, compared to 774 for Sanders, according to the Associated Press. These are the delegates earned at the ballot box.

With the addition of super-delegates – the party leaders that can support whomever they choose - Clinton’s lead grows to 1,561 to 800 over Sanders.

Democrats need 2,383 to secure the nomination, putting Clinton abut 65 percent of the way home.

With just over 2,000 pledged delegates still up for grabs, Clinton would only need to win about 40 percent of the remaining delegates to secure the nomination – even if she doesn’t gain another super-delegate.

She has won 60 percent of the pledged delegates allocated so far.....

[franksolich]

Just to remind WillyT and his Bernie bullies what's next:

March 22, Arizona, Republican primary, 58 delegates
March 22, Arizona, Democrat primary, 85 delegates
March 22, Idaho, Democrat caucus, 27 delegates
March 22, Utah, Republican primary, 40 delegates
March 22, Utah, Democrat primary, 37 delegates

[franksolich]

Hey Willy, how do you like them bananas?

The fat lady's tuning up the vocal cords right now.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/03/16/bye-bye-bernie-the-democratic-race-is-all-but-over/?tid=pm_politics_pop_b

Bye bye, Bernie: The Democratic race is all but over

Bernie Sanders needed a big performance on Tuesday night. It may not have seemed like it; it may have seemed like he could scrape out a win or two and fight on. As Sanders fans have repeatedly insisted over the past week or so, the map for Sanders improves quite a bit from here on out, with fewer states with large African-American populations. Fewer black voters means a better shot for Sanders. So, the thinking was, stay close on Tuesday and grind it out.

But he didn't stay close on Tuesday.

Even if he'd won or does win Missouri -- which still hasn't been called -- and even if he'd won Illinois and Ohio, it wouldn't have mattered -- unless he won big. Hillary Clinton won big in North Carolina and Florida, helping add to her delegate margin. Sanders needed big wins in some states to keep it close. He didn't get big wins -- if he got any.....

.....What was a big Clinton delegate lead became a massive one. The below doesn't include superdelegates, the unpledged delegates that cause so many complaints. This is earned delegates, the people committed to Clinton and Sanders through voting. Clinton's lead over Sanders is now 2.7 times the biggest lead Barack Obama had over her at any point in 2008......

after which a chart

[franksolich]

Hey Willy, how do you like them apples?

Your own guy's jumping ship.

Obama Privately Tells Donors That Time Is Coming to Unite Behind Hillary Clinton

In unusually candid remarks, President Obama privately told a group of Democratic donors last Friday that Senator Bernie Sanders is nearing the point where his campaign against Hillary Clinton will come to an end, and that the party must soon come together to back her.....

.....Mr. Obama chose his words carefully, and did not explicitly call on Mr. Sanders to depart the race, according to those in the room. Still, those in attendance said in interviews that they took his comments as a signal to Mr. Sanders that perpetuating his campaign, which is now an uphill climb, could only help the Republicans recapture the White House.....

Such are the consequences of pride and arrogance, Willy.

Remember what nadin refuses to remember; humility is the beginning of wisdom.

[franksolich]

By the way Willy, notice the date of the Big Zero's advice and counsel.

He offered it right as you and the other Bernie bullies were jubilating over winning Michigan.....not knowing that Catastrophic Tuesday was coming around the bend.
