Bernie Sanders HQ! *A decent human being. (12 Viewers)

My wife sent me a blog post about what it would be like if Bernie were a woman and Hillary were a man.

I couldn't argue that the "Hillary man" world crush "Bernie woman". The things Bernie says can only be said by a man.  Those statements would be rejected as far too radical.  Doesn't this prove some inherent sexism in the political game?

 
We haven't had a wannabe Hitler this close to a nomination before either.
Hm I'll take Huey Long and McArthur as prior entrants in this listing, but Huey got nailed & Mac got canned soooooo... you may be right. If this was a football thread you could post some cool stats but unfortunately there's no QBR for dictators, that would make it a lot easier.

Omg what?

Hillary's problem isn't her gender it's her fecklessness.

The vast majority of early Bernie supporters would have been right there if it were Elizabeth Warren running instead.  Can't say she'd have gotten to where Bernie is now, but she's been saying a lot of the same things for a while.

 
Absolutely not. And I'm really unhappy that people identifying themselves with Sanders are doing this. It's practically the only thing that will detract from his message. Keep it clean my friends.
They put your Bern bro stage rusher on CNN for an interview. Secret Service is going to have their hands full attempting to stop rabid bern bros trying to attack him all summer. Bernie, the candidate for anarchists, violent suppression and attacks on presidential candidates.

Attack Trump and get on CNN. Feel the Bern.

Where exactly in Bernie's platform, or any statements he's ever made, or any actions he's ever taken, has he advocated anarchy, violence or attacks on anyone?

I was listening to Progressive radio this morning.   :bag:   It's either that of some preacher around here.  Anyway, they were painting a picture that Hillary could lose all the major states by 10% and Bernie wouldn't get enough delegates to win.  I'm guessing Democratic establishment radio would be a better description.
Only if you think "math" is exclusive to the "Democratic establishment."

She blew Sanders out in a bunch of states already.  Winning a state 52/48 is nice PR for Sanders, but doesn't do very much to cut into her lead since everything is proportional.

I preferred your unedited post. Im looking forward to more violence from the morally superior Bern bros, its just getting warmed up.

How about you try answering the question I posed you? I'll pose it again - Where exactly in Bernie's platform, or any statements he's ever made, or any actions he's ever taken, has he advocated anarchy, violence or attacks on anyone? Also, why would you look forward to more violence? What's wrong with you?

Weird thing is he blows her away in KS & NE and still comes away 50/50 in delegates. When he loses he loses, when he wins he ties.

[SIZE=13pt]We just received the latest poll out of Illinois, the second largest state voting on Tuesday[/SIZE], and wanted to share it with you immediately:

[SIZE=13pt]NBC News - Illinois - 3/13
Hillary Clinton: 51%
Bernie Sanders: 45%[/SIZE]

[SIZE=13pt]We have come so far in a short time. The most recent polls here showed our campaign down 19, 42, and 37 points. It would be heartbreaking to come up short after everything we’ve overcome together so far. Don’t let that happen, especially not with the millionaires and billionaires ramping up their spending to stop us.[/SIZE]

As to the political discourse. Get back to me when we have candidates buying newspapers so one can call the other a hermaphrodite and that was the nice stuff. This is American politics and always has been.

Isn't that because his support tends to be in pockets such as college towns rather than distributed widely?  I think delegates are awarded proportionally, but it also is geographic within each state.  At least that is the way I understood it for the Democratic primaries.  I remember before Iowa that the Sanders campaign was encouraging students to go home to caucus rather than doing so in the city where they went to college so that they could balance out their support.

 
Wanted to throw out a scenario that I have been mulling over in my head. Obviously, Tuesday will go a long way towards validating whether or not the following is possible.

It seems to me that with the Michigan upset, and if Tuesday shakes out in Bernie's favor, that Bernie may in fact take the momentum in the race such that he starts winning more and more states but due to proportionality fails to capture a majority of the delegates because she has crushed him in some states with high delegate counts.

Do any of you see a scenario whereby the Dem Party realizes that Bernie is the candidate with the momentum and even though he doesn't get the delegate count he is the more favored candidate?

For example, before the BCS playoff system it was often common for a young NCAA football team to get tripped up early in the season. However, by the time they reached the end of the season one could consider them one of the best teams in the country. However, due to those early losses and the structure of the system, they would not be allowed to play for the championship.

What happens if say Bernie wins 30 of the 50 states?

Are you rooting for Bernie to take the Dem nomination? He is more dangerous than Trump to the American way of life.

I have mixed feelings on HRC and Bernie. 

If you forced me to choose...I would probably want HRC just because I think I would die and go to heaven if given the opportunity to see Trump bash HRC for 6 months on the trail.

But, mainly I am just fascinated and curious by what is going on with the Dems and with the GOP in general. From a pure political nerd standpoint, it is an amazing election cycle that I feel fortunate to be alive and old enough to understand and witness. 

 
I dont like self proclaimed Marxists preaching tax and spend big daddy gov. will save you. I dislike both of these populist movements. Bernie scares me more. 
He's trying to get people health care and an education. With your logic we should repeal Medicare and make all schools private again.

 
He can call himself what he wants, but it all comes from the same source material. 
Again....you need some more school, because Marxism <> socialism. And that's just for starters, because Bernie's labeled himself as a democratic socialist...which implies no desire to replace Capitalism with Socialism in all areas of business. His desires in that regard are rather limited, actually.

He has openly attacked Wall St., where the heart of capitalism lays and advocating taxing it to death. If you can refrain from personal attacks and tell me how he is going to solve our problems without taxing me into the grave please share. Or is this the snobby bern bro thread where we shoot down people that dont agree with your socialist plan for America?

It's hilarious how you complain about personal attacks but have done nothing except attack Sanders. Regardless, here is some info:

Im all ears, Im undecided as of right now. The only thing I see coming from Bernie is higher taxes, free college, bad nafta and protests.
