Who would have thunk it ? The supposed gay-loving, gender neutral, all inclusive, lgbtqwxyz party refuses to elect the first gay president. Shocked I tell you
So 2016.

This time around it is a health care ruining, money spending, tax inducing, money grabbing, college paying party.
I'm not who you think I am.

I know. But I was hoping for a contested convention. Just for the laughs.
Having another person taking 10% would have sealed it.

Chances are her staying in will cause a contested convention, in which Bernie will NOT win.

I actually think the Bernie campaign believes that they will win a contested convention. They will force the nomination of Bernie.

Crossout Sanders and the Bernie Bros do not come out to vote and many become disenfranchised with the party. Vote for Sanders and they believe he can win Trump..

They're definitely planning their moves as we speak...

According to DNC rules candidates that get under 15% in a state don't get any delegates from that state.

Many states can have given to buttigieg 15%+ (while others would have given less), he keeps those votes and takes them to his campaign trail grave.

Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Did she at least have the decency to endorse comrade Bernie?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Can we add this to the dictionary in the entry for "gaslighting"?

Quote
For Justice Roberts to follow the right wing’s deliberate misinterpretation of what Sen. Schumer said, while remaining silent when President Trump attacked Justices Sotomayor and Ginsberg last week, shows that Justice Roberts does not just call balls and strikes.

It was a reference to the political price Rs will pay for putting them on the court and a warning that the justices will unleash major grassroots movement on the issue of reproductive rights against the decision.
