Obama should come out and back Sanders. That could help a lot.

To the point where every article about her is how she is doing so poorly.
Let's be real here the media is just out for ratings. Despite the endorsements they're on no one's side but their own because they ultimately don't really care who's in the white house.
It's going to be another McGovern if this goes on. Thankfully the Republicans have no Nixon to counter with.
Yeah its really annoying. In fact the entire messaging with regards to minorities both within the Sanders campaign and by some of his supporters has been off-putting to various degrees.
No doubt about that, and being in SC I have a close eye on both him and Trump to see how they both do here.
I kind of feel happy for Jeb. The chosen one has been dragged through mud since Trump entered. Maybe coming second or third will put a smile on his face and hopes for good run in another year.
It does nothing to attack the racial components of institutional injustices ingrained within most facets of our society.
A more livable minimum wage, healthcare and free college isn't going to do anything stop minorities from having their job applications disregarded because their name sounds ethnic. Free college isn't going to do anything to highly selective schools who conveniently have disgustingly low minority enrollment, although deserving applicants already exist. It's not going to do anything about minority students in grade school being punished more harshly than their white peers. A 'Rising Tide Lifts All' mentality isn't going to change the economic discrepancy between whites and minorities. It's not going to change the fact that minorities get paid less for doing the same work in many professions. It's not going to change the fact that minorities have less of a chance for being promoted through the ranks within a respective company. It's not going to change the differences between inner city schools, and their non-poverished counterparts. It's not going to change the differences in media portrayal between minorities and their white constituents for the same issues.
A lot of issues facing minorities are the result of institutional racism, and no amount of catch all economic plans is going to change that.

please let this happen.
Really though, why would he? Best to wait and fully support whoever gets the nomination during the general.

This is what should happen, agreed. But unfortunately it's only the far right/Tea Party types who seem to realize that bottom up is the only effective method of catalyzing a revolution.

That'll never happen, dude. (Unless he got the nom, of course)

Sitting presidents don't endorse a candidate until the primary is over.

Shucks guys. Didn't know that. Still though, him backing the nominee could help.
Well that would be awkward, given Hillary is gonna get the nom.
More than expected. Iowa and NH are among his top 3 states in the country. He's lucky they came first otherwise he'd be buried long before the primaries even got started.

decent chance he could take third at this rate. Cruz overperforming.
long since expected. hes led by double digits for months. New Hampshire is home territory for sanders, vermont and new hampshire are demographically similar and share a media market.

that'll be huge stab in the back to Hill though. but it'll up the drama 3 fold

If the margin is ten or under with a Clinton victory there's a very real chance that the Bernie movement has merit. Until then I remain skeptical that he can maintain the margins he has.
If it's seriously within ten, or he eeks out a small Nevada win, Super Tuesday becomes very interesting on the Dem side.

1) Even if he wanted Sanders, endorsing someone before they've got the primary lock is short-sighted.
2) He's much more in line with Hillary and I'm 99% sure he'd prefer her to secede him.

Yeah. I have no doubt he will when he gets the nom. Both Bernie and Obama campaigned for each other in the past.

The assumption you're making here is that the most "fair" system is one in which one pays taxes proportional to one's wealth, i.e., if a group owns roughly 40% of the wealth, they should pay roughly 40% of the income taxes. But that's certainly not the only way to look at it. If you look at it from the standpoint of how much the taxes impact one's life, then there's an argument for the tax code to be more progressive given the declining marginal utility of money.
Isn't it an unwritten convention that sitting presidents don't back a candidate until they've secured the nomination, like what Bush did with McCain? Besides, Obama might actually privately prefer Clinton over Sanders.

It was known he would win, the question was by how much. Despite all of the "blowout" posts this is actually pretty middle of the road so far: if he won by 10% she was looking good, if he won by 30% it meant he was a serious threat, the current 18% number just says to me that we have a long way to go still
I still believe a fusion would be the perfect solution.

Congrats to my man Bernie. We all knew he was going to win but it's still nice to see. Hopefully the momentum continues.
Sort of surprised at Trump winning though. I thought his star was finally fading but apparently not.
