I still don't get how the Democrats don't have a more marketable candidate. Their primary platform seems to just be "well we'll try to be almost as good as Obama was."

guys what states next?
Ah but which one will be considered powerful and inspiring, and which is the soulless shill?
I wonder.
Doing pretty well down here in Atlanta. The black middle class in this city isn't where it was before the recession, but its gone really well.
Has things got worse for black americans where you are at?

I think people are making too much of Kasich's performance here. He's outperforming his polling average so far, but not by that much. He's been polling better in New Hampshire than elsewhere for a while. He's going to need a big boost from this to be a serious contender.

I'm black, and if Hillary wins, I can live with that. I will certainly vote for her in the general election assuming she wins the nomination. I just hope that black people who support Hillary aren't doing it because they liked Bill because, first of all, Hillary isn't Bill and second of all, even if she were, Bill was a shitty president for black folks.
We have plenty of candidates but many of them see this cycle as belonging to Hilary and don't want pit themselves against her.
I dont know, maybe the candidate who is a corporate shill?

Do we know who writes his speeches? He should hire someone new to work with him. His campaign ideas are pretty clear at this point, it's time to freshen things up.
They're all smiling and laughing like they're all billionaires themselves.

And maybe that will drive young voters to finally show up for Midterms and get rid of these hacks in Congress that vote against everything out of spite. That's one of the biggest reasons I support Sanders. He's willing to eat 2 years of failure to achieve if it means putting the stubborn and ineffective Republicans (and some Democrats) in the spotlight.
When he talks about a political revolution, it isn't just putting a liberal\progressive in the White House, it's making changes at every level of Government to adhere to the interests of the people. I would be fine with Hillary in office, but she's going to concede ground to the Republicans in congress just to give the illusion of being bipartisan and a great negotiator. You know what bipartisan has meant since the 80's? Republicans getting 80% of what they want while Democrats try and explain why the 20% they got isn't such a shit deal.
I'm tired of that crap. If we have to suffer through 2 years of Republican stonewalling a Sanders administration, but can get a huge turnout for the 2018 midterms to dethrone a ton of these relics with crap voting records, I'm all for it.
I'm sure 2 old White GUYS is the boring ticket. Hillary would be a fresh perspective.

Bernie's same speech over and over. He has no way to actually accomplish it.

What states are mandatory to be President?
And there it is.
Please outline for me how Bernie is going to pass any of his relatively radical ideas?

This might be the only chance he gets to do a victory speech, so he's allowed to enjoy himself a little. Let him rant. He might win a few other states, but on days with multiple primaries where Clinton would take the overall delegate win.
I wish Bernie well, but tonight is almost certainly the apex of his campaign.

I've memorised this speech, forwards and back. I like most of it but hope for some variation soon.

Yeah, she got beat. But this state is literally Bernie's backyard. Of course he was going to win this one.
I'm supporting Hilary because her views align with my own and I don't think Bernie Sanders has shown the experience necessary to be President, it's hard to pin down his response to anything other than his stump.

i love dreams too.
You act like Clinton being a corporate shill isn't a known thing? Wow you really trapped me there!
To the 2nd part of your post:
And there it is. Typical Clinton supporter not wanting to push for hard things because they are hard.

In terms of content one is worse, but "Bernie Bros" are a small minority to the point of nigh irrelevancy. It honestly feels more like a narrative people are trying to push than an actually statistically relevant group, and yes, when someone has a large amount of young, internet savvy fans, you will see this small minority more on the internet than the small minority of Clinton supporters who are this way.
What you WILL see are Clinton fans campaigning on a platform of "just wait" and "not realistic," even going so far as to accuse Sanders supporters (including women) of being sexist for not backing Hillary based on nothing but gender. It comes off as extremely obnoxious with undertones of desperation. So considering how much more prevalent this behavior seems to be from Clinton supporters online, I could see why he finds it worse.
