I for one am shocked that a Berner is convinced that they could only lose due to a massive wide ranging conspiracy. Besides the fact that exit polling responses are entirely voluntary and non-verifiable, and therefore a VERY poor dataset to work from, I'm going to guess that the author's...

Ah yes, the problem is that I'm stupid and uniformed. Good luck enlarging the coalition.

It's a slogan that is very popular. It is less popular when you explain that it means abolishing private health insurance. Again, that's the reality of who's voting.

Alas, you have to campaign to the electorate that exists, not the electorate that you wish existed. There is no political tent to the left of Pete that excludes him that is viable nationally in this country. Political strategies that prioritize purity over inclusiveness don't tend to do well...

I think you're a lot more likely to see Pete in the cabinet. Two white guys is a bad look for the Dems. That said, I personally think it's in the interests of the party to beef up Pete's resume over the next few years.

How old is dalamon? From the times I sail on through these here parts of the interwebs his default mode seems to be "pointlessly antagonistic to everyone - especially natural allies"

This would be an excellent point if we voted by the square mile. In actuality, Trump LOST the popular vote by about 3 million.

Glad to see Dems acting like adults and consolidating the field before it's too late.

I am capable of thinking two things are bad at the same time. Imagine that.

I rate this claim: FALSE

Straight up: All of this is accurate. The Sanders people tell me I might as well be a Republican. They insist everyone more moderate than Elizabeth Warren is the enemy. It's not just people like @colton who will be pushed out of the coalition - it's me too. And I'm a lot easier to turn...

We'll see what the numbers are after months of stories about him lionizing the soviet union and hanging out with the Sandanistas. Bernie really has not ever had a real campaign where someone went after him for this stuff.

The Bernie people are fervently convinced that millions of people who aren't engaged with the political process will show up and vote their guy in. So it doesn't matter that they de-mobilize many people who are already habitual voters.

Not really. The differences between Sanders and the "moderate group" of the candidates are fundamentally pretty negligible when you're talking about domestic policy goals. The biggest policy issue is health care. The difference between "Medicare for All" and "Medicare for All Who Want It"...

I'll come right out and say it: I think Bernie will lose 40 states minimum and his nomination guarantees that Trump is reelected. Bernie's tone and his most ardent followers are so toxic that I would have difficulty voting for him. And I'm a lifelong dem. Bernie shrinks the size of the tent...

He didn't even wait a week before engaging in even more blatant corruption. This is what happens when you give someone a blank check on corruption and say he can't be removed regardless of conduct.

Glad someone remembers. Fox News even cited the same sources for Solomon's stories that I was trying to red flag to Joe. Honestly, this whole process has been very disheartening for me. I made it a defining feature of my life for the last two and a half years to really understand...

Did you read it? This is a sitting Senator describing conversations other sitting Senators have with him behind closed doors.

This is SO LAZY. Black would join in 2017, AFTER the Shokin dismissal. And again, all allegations of Burisma corruption relate to events that occurred prior to the Ukrainian revolution in 2014. At some point it's just argument by innuendo. This means literally nothing.

Good for Cousin Mitt! Did Utah proud.
