And yet, here is Bernie running to that same "establishment" saying "Choose me, choose me? leftofcool Aug 2015 #29
And he once said it would be "hypocritical to run as a Democrat" MaggieD Aug 2015 #74

That's the ticket - let's make sure there are more superdelegates than actual delegates! reformist2 Aug 2015 #15
The fact that we have "superdelegates" indicates a problem, imo deutsey Aug 2015 #30
Why? MaggieD Aug 2015 #60

Fair enough -- explain HOW, in real political terms, Sanders improves on that. brooklynite Aug 2015 #21
There are a number of factors that improve with Bernie kenfrequed Aug 2015 #34
"does not agitate and inflame Republicans as much as Hillary does?" Nitram Aug 2015 #37
Republicans are generally irrational kenfrequed Aug 2015 #42
Consistency is the hob goblin of small minds - LOL! MaggieD Aug 2015 #86
Hillary has been pretty consistent with her inconsistancies. frylock Aug 2015 #114
No, "a foolish consistency" is. Nitram Aug 2015 #131
I had to stop at your second bullet point MaggieD Aug 2015 #75
Hmm... I disagree kenfrequed Aug 2015 #93
No, being ignored by your opponent in politics MaggieD Aug 2015 #94
I think you are intentionally obtuse kenfrequed Aug 2015 #95
I will put my politcal chops up against yours any day of the week MaggieD Aug 2015 #96
Interesting jump. kenfrequed Aug 2015 #100
You have no call to accuse me of anything MaggieD Aug 2015 #101
Hmm... kenfrequed Aug 2015 #106

What an odd picture... PotatoChip Aug 2015 #35
Because she's at a John Deere factory in Iowa.nt sufrommich Aug 2015 #36
Begging the CEO and upper management of John Deere to not move their operations to Asia? PotatoChip Aug 2015 #38
Probably! and much better than clicking the ruby slippers and wishing it so! Amimnoch Aug 2015 #43
I don't think the color of those shoes would go well w/her outfit. PotatoChip Aug 2015 #44
ROFL, you know. Amimnoch Aug 2015 #48
Why, thank you! PotatoChip Aug 2015 #50

A rant? Really? sufrommich Aug 2015 #47
She's speaking at John Deere.... NorthCarolina Aug 2015 #39
I really liked this statement from the article: George II Aug 2015 #64
In other words, the Party Machine is standing with her, for now. But Joe is in the wings... nt Romulox Aug 2015 #70
Too late MaggieD Aug 2015 #72
Tell it to the Party. Reportedly, Joe has received the President's "blessing" to run... nt Romulox Aug 2015 #79
He has my blessing too MaggieD Aug 2015 #80
You aren't the leader of the Democratic Party, though, so the impact isn't the same. nt Romulox Aug 2015 #81
You're missing the point MaggieD Aug 2015 #83
That the Party Elite has given Joe clearance to run is the point, imo. nt Romulox Aug 2015 #85
And it matters little because it's too late MaggieD Aug 2015 #87
It matters, period, because Clinton has stumbled so badly out of the gate. nt Romulox Aug 2015 #88

I think the article means super delegate endorsements. MaggieD Aug 2015 #82
I would think almost all super delegates will go to Hillary. SouthernProgressive Aug 2015 #89
That's absurd. The Dem "insiders" will follow whoever we nominate. reformist2 Aug 2015 #90
Thank you for you kind words. SouthernProgressive Aug 2015 #91
I remember this story from 8 years ago. The superdelagates were Ed Suspicious Aug 2015 #116

Do you actually think you're helping your candidate by taking shots at Bernie? HERVEPA Aug 2015 #105
There's a great line in a Bruce Cockburn song that seems apropo: Maedhros Aug 2015 #108
The politicians endorse Clinton. The people increasingly Ed Suspicious Aug 2015 #111
I won't vote for her. Period. earthside Aug 2015 #117
