Why? He still has an opportunity to push his message for change, even if he isn't going to be the nominee. He obviously feels he and Hillary have enough distance between them on the issues to run.

As a Bernie supporter, I hope he stays in all the way to the end.
There's a myth out there that Hillary started the Birther movement.

I can't answer for others, but I've been a fan of Bernie's since 2009 and his efforts at adding a public option and moving the conversation to single payer. It can be hard to encapsulate or articulate nuanced positions within the confines of a forum post and across numerous threads.
I'm perfectly fine with Hillary Clinton not being the nominee, I'm no huge fan of the Clintons and I was one of the young voters Obama energized in 2008. Within the context of the Republican primary, the Democratic primary and Hillary's relatively strong position serves as a good foil for the disorder caused by Trump. If the Republicans hadn't been co-opted and we had seen Booker, Biden, Kaine and Warren also run, I think I would have preferred Warren to win.
Bernie's not my ideal candidate in this primary because of his comparative lack of detail in his policies, his focus on rhetoric and the identity he's presented during this cycle.
Why does that require going negative? Does he need to tis Hillary to rahm to talk about free college? I don't really see the benefit there.

538's weighted polls have proven to be pretty damn accurate.
And for like, the eleventh time, beating your polls is basically meaningless. You need to actually win more delegates than the other person, whatever polls looked like before the election.
Beating your polls only speaks to the accuracy of the polls. It says nothing about how well you did in any given election.
So ready.
Oh damn, my bad.
Well, It's not Hillary.

This looks like a Sanders win by, like, 1000 votes max. A Clinton win would be tiny and be token only, but a 5/5 sweep tonight would look kinda awesome.
I am, Hillary will be a fantastic president who will continue the successful Obama policies at the very least.
Been ready.

How many votes are left to count in MO for the Republicans? Looks like Trump should hang on?

I responded to your statement about revolution. My point was pretty clear I think? I'm not sure what there is to clarify in my post, though it has little to do with whether Bernie won or lost the primaries and I wasn't even talking about that at all.

Not on the Democratic side. There's no point. They'll each get the same amount of delegates because of proportional representation.
Fair enough.
Not I. I'm ready for this party to not be divided. Especially here on gaf where I spend a lot of time lol. There is really no need. I mean I guess as long as he keeps winning states he'll have a platform.
But I haven't been all that impressed with Bernie lately. He really is starting to come of as a crotchety bitter man. I think he in his mind he had a chance, and once he realized the math wasn't there, recently, he started to get negative. I'd guess he's probably tired as well. Anybody would be running a campaign. I mean it's worth it if you have a real chance, but maybe not so much if you don't.

And it's worth having Trump there for the "I agree Marco!" tweet alone.
I have a feeling that Trump is going to play her like a fiddle.
Yup. It's gonna be a split/practical split anyways, no need for a recount.

It's as if these primary races exist in a vacuum and credibility is not a concern at all. It really is incredible.

I've posted that before, I know it's a myth (according to neoliberal scholars)
Will Trump's VP be Ben Carson?

IF he goes mean at the debates, he only loses the female vote even harder. And he's already lost the minorities vote.
So he's going to lose.

I'm surprised it was that close in Illinois, given how many people hate Rahm. Clinton had to be holding a ton of strength to squeak that one out.
Gotta love Twitter
Incredible.
