2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary Supporters: Why Does Any Good News for Bernie Trigger Such Outrage? [View all]YouDig
(2,280 posts)60. I see a guy with a big ego, what can I say.
And he also always thinks he's right and everyone else is wrong, and that he's the only person in the government with morals.
On top of that, I can't think of any reason except ego for him to act the way he's been acting the last few weeks. Especially if he doesn't concede after DC votes come in and he's way behind in pledged delegates. At that point it's all ego.
And he can talk about money in politics all he wants, but if he attacks Hillary, the Democratic nominee, for having a superPAC or for ties to Wall Street or any of his other talking points, right there at the convention where she is being nominated, then he is nothing but a tool of Trump. And right now neither you nor I know whether he's egotistical enough to do that.

OP
Hillary "good". Bernie "bad". Why? Beats the Hill out of me. Perhaps because she's a "winner".

So you're saying you can't show any support because you think he's not genuine...

The convention will not be "contested", and it would be bad news not good news if it did.

You are characterizing Bernie's determination as trying to "pull" something...

I'm not worried that he's going to succeed. I'm worried that his attempt will divide the party

The goal in a primary, ... to win. Is a bad thing. This thread is really meant as a joke, right?

But she isn't even doing that. Only hundreds of dispirited people come to her "rallies"

They don't want to hear anything rational. They have chosen to follow Clinton no matter what

"Contested" simply means Superdelegates will have to vote to decide the outcome...

The super delegates announce who they are voting for...who they intend to vote for is no mystery.

Your premise "he lost" isn't technically true, so neither is your conclusion n/t

News is one thing. Bernie telling lies and giving false hope does not qualify as 'good news'.

"We can win", "superdelegates will switch", "the convention will be contested", etc.

SDs have never overturned the voting results, and they won't start for Bernie. That's how.

When Humphrey won, not nearly every state had a primary. Party bosses still picked candidates.
