Which stage of grief is the clinton campaign in now?

[SwampG8r]

Looks like denial.and anger to me.
Soon i see them moving to bargaining (with the doj)

[boston bean]

1. We are ecstatic she will be the first woman President of the United States.

Sucks to be those who won't acknowledge that.

[Fikari]

15. Denial then.

[JudyM]

44. Good retort from a fresh face! Welcome to DU, Fikari.

[Jack Bone]

53. Welcome to DU!!

[NWCorona]

24. Looking Less and less likely

[brooklynite]

2. Is "delusion" a phase the Sanders folks are going through?

[puffy socks]

26. Grand delusions. nt

[Renew Deal]

3. Stage 2285 of 2383

And when they get to 2383 the Sanders campaign is history despite the delusions.

[NWCorona]

25. To get so far and then to feel it slip away...must be tuff

[Renew Deal]

28. I agree. But Sanders was never that close

He's lost another 15 or so super delegates this week.

[NWCorona]

30. Your comment proves my point.

[Renew Deal]

32. It proves mine too

[NWCorona]

33. Fair enough 😀

[LexVegas]

4. Don't lose mad...just lose. nt

[1StrongBlackMan]

5. Is "Prepping for the General" a stage of grief?

[SwampG8r]

23. Thats covered by denial

[1StrongBlackMan]

46. LOL ... Okay.

[NWCorona]

27. Prepping isn't a guarantee. The news coming out this week

Has been terrible for Clinton.

[morningfog]

6. From the first responses, it's clearly denial, lol.

[Tarc]

7. 3,033,824 votes, 270 pledged delegates

I think my stage is "Celebratory Swooning".

[John Poet]

9. And 150 F.B.I. agents,

and one I.G.'s report.

[Jitter65]

19. Another lie. nt

[tazkcmo]

10. Congratulaions on your new job! n/t

[pinebox]

11. WTF?

You won't last long here.
"Entitled to a $15 hour wage"? Are you serious? Someone obviously works for Walmart.
Let's have a discussion about that "entitled $15/hr wage" shall we?

Tell us why you are against it. You are against people working FT and actually making a living from their job? You sound like a corporate puppet spewing crap, a staunch defender of the anti labor movement and how people should pull up their boot straps and work for pennies so the man can make a profit.

Guess what? Wages have fallen over time and it's BOTH Dems and Republicans fault. You're candidate, Hillary, has always been in the pockets of the 1% and as such, can't even defend a living wage.

You're no Dem when you can't even defend a Dem ideal and instead have to chastise people who are struggling like hell to make it in this country because of people like YOU.

[Cobalt Violet]

12. clearly denial for most of them.

[NCTraveler]

13. You are clearly in denial.

That is amazingly obvious. You aren't able to see how transparent your words are. When you move onto the next stage you will realize.

[gollygee]

14. This thread is just plain silly. She's clearly winning. N/t

[Fikari]

17. I don't think you appreciate the seriousness

Of the investigation into her email server and the Clinton Foundation. She was arrogant, and reckless with our national security. She will never be allowed to be President.

[gollygee]

18. You're right, I don't think it's serious enough to keep her from becoming President

Or even slowing her down much.

It sounds like more "Benghazi!" to me.

[Jitter65]

20. If Trump supporters can ignore all that he has said and done...Clinton should be a shoe-in with the

Demi.

[Fikari]

21. This isn't remotely like Benghazi

This is an FBI investigation and a State Department audit that essentially found Hillary to be a liar, and someone who refused to follow proper protocol. And it was initiated by John Kerry. If he believes there is something to this, I trust his judgement.


What we know for certain:

Hillary used an insecure Microsoft server

For a long time, it failed to use basic security measures such as encryption


This means that there is no doubt it was hacked by the Russians, Chinese, Israelis, and God knows who else.

We also know that Hillary lied about it, told the rest of her staff to lie about it/not discuss it, and she carried on doing it even after she was told not to.

This is serious and it's not going away. Hillary is finished.

With all due respect, if you're "bored" of hearing about the emails or think this is like Benghazi, it's because you lack the technical expertise to understand what this is really about. Either that, or you're just a True Believer who will defend Hillary no matter what.

[gollygee]

35. I voted for Bernie

And I've read the articles. Some say it's a huge deal, and some say the equipment was old and everyone did it and it isn't a big deal.

I don't think it's going to amount to anything. That isn't because I am a "true believer." I'm not anti-Hillary, but I'm not a fan either. I prefer Bernie. It's because I've seen this kind of thing before and it rarely amounts to anything.

[Fikari]

39. When State Department correspondence is exposed to the whole world

It's a big deal. "Everyone did it" is not an excuse, and it's not even true. Only Hillary thought the rules didn't apply to her and therefore she needed her own private email server in her home.

[gollygee]

40. I mean it won't amount to a big deal as a political issue

She shouldn't have done it, but it's very unlikely that it will affect either the primary or the general election.

[Fikari]

42. She shouldn't have done it is putting it mildly

Just wait until the FBI release their findings. We only know the half of it so far.

[Renew Deal]

34. Allowed by who?

[Fikari]

36. The intelligence community, the FBI

And the Democratic Establishment once they finally realize the gravity of the situation.

[Renew Deal]

38. She needs their permission to be president?

Should Trump be "allowed" to be president?

[Fikari]

41. Everyone needs the tacit approval of the intelligence community

And the backing of their own party. They're the ones pulling the strings.

Whether Trump should be allowed isn't my call to make. Personally, I want Bernie.

[oberliner]

22. Clinton and Sanders campaigns are both in denial

Clinton campaign in denial over the impact of the email situation.

Sanders campaign in denial over the inability to get enough delegates to win the nomination.

[cali]

37. Nail meet hammer

[Gothmog]

29. Amusement at the silliness of some still hoping for a miracle to save sanders

[Bob41213]

31. LOL, nice...

While I don't condone--actually I do because I couldn't resist giving you a rec--gloating like this, it's humorous how you turned one of the Brock talking points around.

[SwampG8r]

48. I saw the brockspeak an responded in kind

Ive had it said to me a.bundred times so i felt it appropriate given the facts of the matter.

[randome]

43. Well, if anyone's keeping score, the # of Sanders supporters getting hidden threads is 'winning'.

So it seems like the anger and denial and bitterness is pretty one-sided.

[seabeyond]

45. You are funny

[Hydra]

47. I vote for "Bargaining"

When you are posting that your candidate beats the other one because she won non-binding primaries...the prior held belief in "inevitability" seems shaky.

It may even be the depression stage though- depressed over probable loss of bonus check.

[reddread]

49. slightly behind the establishment who seem to have reached acceptance

those signs are on.

[Orsino]

50. Still in the winning phase.

Not sure that that's going to change.

[bkkyosemite]

51. Denial has been there since the beginning of Bernie coming on the stage

[JoePhilly]

52. We're about to enter the VICTORY stage

Now run along and look for articles about emails.

[BillZBubb]

54. Still absolute denial. But that's because they are a cult, not grief stricken.

[johnp3907]

55. Too funny!
