Don't worry, they're trying to make it easier.
You got it backwards, Retromelon isn't Jindal's wife, Jindal is Retromelon's waifu.
When Bernie Sanders endorses Hillary he will prove himself a corporate shill for not endorsing Bernie Sanders.
You'll note that every time someone has directly asked him a question like this, he has never even once answered, and instead just turned the question around. It's just not worth it.
I belabor this point way too much, but people really, really don't seem to grasp just how momentous the changes that followed the CRA/Southern Strategy were, and how clear it makes just how deeply people prioritize their bigotry. An entire generation of poor whites threw away all the progressive gains they had made over half a century because they'd have to share with black people. Can you think of any other motivator in our politics with that kind of power?
We need to stop dancing around the issue and face the facts.
I vote for a version of Retromelon's avatar that faces to the left. :d

I think PD was the first real loser, even if that predated the game starting.

Jindal got all disgusting and dirty for nothing. No sympathy whatsoever.

Kinda surprised Jindal was the next to go. I was expecting somebody like Santorum or Pataki, but whatever.
Why are these guys hanging on so long? Were they expecting to outlast the Donald Trump craze? Well that time has passed.

I vote for that portrait of Jindal that is suspiciously lighter than he is.

I don't use the FaceBook or the Twitter, but looking at my SO's FaceBook wall, all of the Conservatives are only "liking" the Governors refusing refugees while keeping quiet. All of the Liberals have pretty good zingers. "I thought #AllLivesMatter!" lmao
Sucks that my Governor is on that list.

I posted way too many news stories about the jindal campaign when no one else cared for that to be true.
and aaron shouldn't change anything. Nobody wanted to bet avatars so there will be no humiliation, unless it's complicit
Now if you'll excuse me
Haven't you heard? There are indeed some moderate Republican voters, who are just as fed up with crony-capitalism etc as progressives and would indeed vote for Bernie, if he were the nominee.
I'm happy to say that if the Republican voters end up nominating the clown, that is Donald Trump, or they go ultra-right, with Ben Carson, it will likely be the easiest Presidential win, for Bernie, in living memory (money won't be an issue; the American people, collectively, have deep pockets). If Hillary gets the nomination, all bets are off, and Trump could swing it (if he isn't Hillary's plant
). I think she could comfortably beat Carson.Black Mamba

I usually say this to that guy with the crazy looking head avatar from the infamous Hillary/Bernie threads but you need to come to grips with the current political reality.

No. They need a crash course in reality. Stakes are very high this time. We could be looking at worse case 35+ Governorships with up to 28 unified Republican controlled states plus a unified Republican federal government and Supreme Court. Brownback will look sane in comparison to what a President Cruz could do with that kind of power.
*Lose MT, MO, WV Govs. Fail to pickup NC & LA. Lose KY state Senate.
Bobby Jindal is currently trending on Twitter; it's nice to see his campaign finally go somewhere.
If they were really going to vote at all, they'll still vote for Hillary. At best, Bernie got people invested in politics; at worst, people who weren't interested still aren't.

There will be plenty of time for them to reflect on reality after the primary.
I don't get it. He had these problems years ago. Why are they sinking him now when they did not in 2007 & 2010? These same people likely reelected him.

People have gotten too used to Obama being able to build a competitve coalition in numerous states and they think any Dem could just breeze into the same path to victory.
You guys need to wake up and realize the stakes at play. Especially the infighting Dems. People talking about Clinton and Republicans are the same have a front row seat to how wrong they are right now.

To be honest, I'm not really sure why it took so long. It's lingered in the background.
It does seem like Edwards is much less hesitant to outright attack along this line of approach - and his public image as an all-american military guy makes him the perfect guy to make these kinds of attacks. Vitter's last election was for Senate in 2010 - the year that the GOP freaked-out about losing to Obama in 2008 - and his opponent wasn't able to mount such on-target attacks.
Bobby Jindal also hadn't weighed-down the GOP brand statewide either. The environment just seems really different.. a perfect storm, really.

I would say there's definitely the Jindal effect at work, but also that JBE is just a good candidate.

It's a combination of everything, I think. Jindal being terrible, Vitter being terrible, Edwards being great, (very) slight turn blue, Obama derangement syndrome probably cooling off, decent economy/Obamacare situation.

Now it's retro's turn.
Based on peer reviewed, scientific data, as I haven't received a single friendly toot, from a passing motorist, clearly Bernie doesn't yet "have a huge majority of people supporting him" (your words), but we have months left yet, to spread the good word
.Seriously though, don't you think it's a problem, when a union unilaterally decides to endorse a Presidential candidate, without conducting a national ballot and also, doing so long before its members have had a chance to become fully acquainted with all the candidates? Is that too much to ask from ones union, in this day and age?
My point was that, I don't see Democrats having any trouble voting for Bernie, the happily maried, for 28 years, father and grandfather of seven (oh, I'm good
), a man of unquestionable character, who has dedicated a good part of his life to the betterment of his fellow American.It's not Bernie who will show the door to someone in the party, who would vote against significant parts of his proposals, it's the American people!
If Bernie's supporters, me included, do everything that is asked of us (I draw the line at donating a kidney) and the American people reject the chance to put our once great nation, back on the right course, then I will live in hope, that in my lifetime, another champion emerges, who seeks the high office of President of the United States, for merely the chance to faithfully serve all Americans, our precious planet and all future generations.
For the sake of planet Earth and all its inhabitants, I am hoping, with every fibre of my being, that you are utterly wrong.

and Obama was not the champion? Who is the "American" people you speak of? He is running in a democratic primary where the nomination will be decided by mostly Americans affiliated with the Democratic Party.

One thing to remember is that most Bernie supporters will have their come to Jesus moment should he lose. They'll be upset for a while, but then they'll come back into the fold--assuming they're long-time voters. If they're new voters, it just depends. Bernie (or Hillary to be fair) will campaign for whomever the nominee happens to be. If these supporters really care about the issues, they'll vote Democratic in November.
The only thing that gets me is that we Democrats used to pride ourselves as being based in the "reality based community." That baby's done been thrown out the bathwater. We've see people unskew polls, ignore everything because of this one candidate. It's all the things we used to ridicule the die hard Ron Paul/Rmoneybots for doing. Now some of us do it. (And I'm not calling anyone out here. I see it on a lot of progressive blogs.)
