Oh my.

But I have noticed a fat lady in the far corner of the backstage who appears to be practicing her "voice."

If Bernie is such a strong candidate
 
why has he lost the Democratic Primary race for the nomination?

Why do people think the system and votes cast ought to be thwarted for a loser? A sore one at that?

He lost, I wish he would get over himself, really.

1. If he's lost why can't you get over him?

3. If Hillary is such a shoo in, why can't she clinch it?

5. She has. Only in the minds of the most delusional has she not.

6. Right?
 
It's almost like these Sanders diehards want us to believe prospective GE polls about their unvetted candidate should trump (ha ha) millions of actual voters who chose Clinton.

It's Marxism 101: if you can't win the proletariat you just have a ("temporary") dictatorship of the intelligentsia. These guys learned it in seminars at Berkeley and now they think they represent the working class.

They think working class and especially minority voters are stupid ..... er that is, have "false consciousness" and "vote against their interests" (which of course they and their professor friends know better than workers).

The working class is voting for her.

I've been a science professor for over 30 years. And I am a product of the blue collar working class. I know my people and we don't vote for "revolutionaries" promising pie in the sky.

Around campus, I meet these types all the time. They're fascists dressed up as "progressives," and it was ever thus.

You tell 'em, prof.

10. He's a big loser. A sore loser. He needs to drop out now and fully support the D nominee for POTUS
 
If Hillary loses in November, we'll look back to this time period in the election, and know where the blame falls. Get out Bernie. NOW! Loser.

11. Every election besides those he won were rigged! 

And polls! Look at the polls !

no don't look at the polls!  ..no wait the polls, they show Bernie as the stronger candidate, look at them! 

The crowds at rallies prove Bernie was destoyed by the establishment! 

The south doesnt count!

If Shillary was such a strong candidate why is she relying on bribed super delegates?
