I don't see Bernie as VP (funeral attendee). More as a change agent.

That's one thing find a little depressing - so much fighting over the nominees that there's no discussion of what the Democrats will present as a platform at the DNC - that's one place where change could happen, but no one is talking about it.Quote:

No glee in the heart of the rust belt. Just plenty of yawns.
Clinton said she has more "work to do" and plans to "fight" on. The only work she has ever done to my knowledge is with a microphone in hand collecting millions for talking to rich Goldman Sacks types and the only fighting has been done by the soldiers and embassy members in Lybia whom she allowed to be slaughtered. But hey, who defines work and fighting in this political season? She is good with personal emails though. The most highly qualified politician ever to run for President if knowing how to use the system to your favor and to amass wealth is a measure of qualification.
So, Democratics rejoice. The anointed one......is now anointed. Californians don't matter ........once again.
Today is primary day in my state today, too. You bet I'm going to vote for Bernie. He's not going down without a contested convention, so it ain't over till the old Democratic Socialist sings.Quote:

If Bernie does well today--if he pulls an upset in CA for instance (they're pretty much neck-and-neck), he can try to pull over the superdelegates she has or challenge them, as Williamsmith said. He'll have more leverage if he continues to win states.Quote:
