That... and real primary VOTING rather than caucuses. Caucuses are mostly for "activists" who are strongly motivated for one reason or another. They abandon the sanctity of the secret ballot, and because of when/where/how they are held, it disenfranchises voters who must work at that time, or who are caregivers. It also allows for shenanigans and bullying and intimidation (and other peer-pressure) from the most aggressive "activists" for certain candidates.

I don't need to go into specific details, it's been in all the papers. People who pay attention know exactly what I'm talking about.

wondered if it was pique because he defied their predictions...or they are just left leaning and believe the party and country was 'woke' (whatever the hell that means)...or they want a horse race...really don't know...I turned off MSNBC and CNN as well for the most part.

But looking ahead to Florida... there are questions of whether or not Bernie will even be "viable" there. (ie: will he even reach 15%??) He could walk away with ZERO delegates in Florida.

I don't know why Sen. Sanders thought that praising Castro in FL would endear him to the voters, just like I don't know why he would insult AA's by blowing off Bloody Sunday and Mississippi.

It's like this guy is his own worse enemy.

I'm encouraged that Kamala and Corey will be onstage with Joe tonight in Detroit. Like I said, I'm keeping everything crossed.
