Damn, Bernie sounds legit pissed. Probably had a few less than complimentary phone calls this evening. At least accept this gracefully, man.
We laugh since there's zero evidence that that's going to turn into anything (because it won't). Also, he has a fraud case pending and god knows how many other lawsuits, if you want to go head-to-head with them!

It was one poll in the midst of Cruz hammering Trump during the primary there, the state isn't in play in November.
I don't have any Republican friends, other than my parents.

I hope PredictIt takes bets on who will win individual states in the electoral college because I want to get a little cash down on Arizona turning blue this cycle.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
Sanders tonight assumed the parasitic role that Clinton had back in 2008.
Only he really has no chance, where Clinton has a small one.
I honestly think this could be his shitty personality showing.

Pretty much. Least she had a minute versus no chance though.

Hillary went out and campaigned like hell and made unity speeches. Will Bernie do the same?
Agreed.
He can stay in until June 7th, but leave this whole money laundering shit out of it and actually talk about the issues you wanted to in the beginning. Not everything has to be a comparison with Clinton. It's like once he went negative, he can walk it back.
No sorry the guy needs to drop. It's not about staying on message anymore, it's about Trump. He has no realistic path forward, he is wasting money, not only of his donors but Hillary's as well, and is pulling away the only viable nominee from focusing on a critical general election. The time has come and gone for him to preach his message. He has had a year and a half to do it and we get it by now. The smart play would be to bargain for planks in the platform and start campaigning against Trump. This is his ego making decisions like it was for Clinton in 08. The difference being the stakes are much higher now and his path forward is the stuff of fairy tales.

I honestly don't know if I want him to. He's got a lot of baggage, and none of it got thrown at him. And his choice of surrogates and special brand of gaffes aren't really needed. He and his people keep taking Democratic PoCs and women for granted since they keep saying those voters are a lock. Sure, this cycle they are, but why not cater to your base? I just fail to see a reason for worrying over a predominantly white voting bloc when you're a Democrat. Drive up minority turnout by unapologetically running the candidate that performed best with that particular demographic.
With demographic trends the way they are, locking up even more PoC and women in the DNC is the better approach. Chasing independents is so 2004.
MSNBC is doing the same thing. It's hilarious.

Even CNN folk, the lords of DEAD HEAT this year, seems to be blowing off Sanders completely now. He's just not in the discussions. This is as it should be.
Bernie is not getting VP. It would be the wrong choice and a terrible choice. He offers nothing to the ticket. The overwhelming majority of his supporters will vote Democrat anyway.

To be fair, it's literally the only way Trump has any shot at a win. Even if it's practically impossible, it's still the only winning strategy available. And, as he showed, he could flip 3-4 stages and still lose. The GOP is at an absolutely massive electoral disadvantage that can only be fixed by bringing in minority voters. Maybe. They maxed out their potential with Whites in 2012.
If she's bleeding supporters due to him, there might need to be some concessions so this wraps up sooner.

Any chance of Obama and Biden endorsing Clinton earlier than expected?
This kind of thinking is what scares me. I won't be calm until November 9th...

i am going to be almost absurdly calm until november 9th
Nah, they have no reason to. If Bernie doesn't chill they'll probably fire a few shots over the bow but that's about it.

Bernie can't drop out until his next loss. I mean, he should, but dropping out right after he "wins" a state would just enrage people
Yeah, that makes sense. Need party unity...

I still want Perez. His ties to labor are a good branch back to the union types who've been feeling left out of the economic recovery. And he's got a lot of youth in him, plus he doesn't jeopardize a Congressional seat.
I really hate the horse-race pushing media. Every electoral map that people draw up now grudgingly gives the Dems like 238 electoral votes, but that's letting states like PA and MI get counted as swing states. To be more honest, the Dems only need to pick up like 30 electoral votes to win. If a Dem wins FL, you could call the election on that result. Or Ohio. Or Virginia now. Or North Carolina.
The electoral map is a road of landmines that the GOP has to run through. Step on a single one (lose any swing state) and they're done.

and since the May calendar has lots of White states, Bernie is not going to quit.

Today I learned that there are no minorities or women in the rust belt.
I also learned that Nevada, Colorado, and Florida are in the rust belt according to Steve Kornacki.

Give me some of that calmness please!
The demographics didn't just magically change. He has a very small chance of winning barring something extraordinary happening. The polls will certainly tighteb, but Trump's negative with Hispanics alone will lose him FL and NV.

I agree, I think that dude would be absolutely perfect. Appease the left, hype up Latinos, and set him up for a future Presidential run. He also has experience leading in the executive branch. Can't really ask for much better in a VP.

Sanders victory getting erased by Trumps win/Cruz dropout, i feel kinda bad for the guy

Trump wins and Cruz drops out?!
Even if those two things didn't happen his win was really a loss since he didn't hit his targets. At this point it's less about wins and more about hitting delegate targets. Hell, wins along haven't mattered since Super Tuesday.
