And the haha title for the today is:

Yes, Bernie Sanders Will Win the Contested Democratic Convention

Bernie Sanders is ready for a contested Democratic convention, especially with the 1,430 pledged delegates that nobody at FiveThirtyEight, The Washington Post, or The New York Times imagined he’d have at this point. The same people who predicted Sanders would be done by March, are also the same people telling you Vermont’s Senator can’t win on July 25, 2016. While Bernie has defeated Clinton in 10 of the past 16 contests, and has the political momentum to force a contested convention, few progressive writers dare to address the biggest story of this election.

It’s the ongoing FBI investigation

FBI investigation has become the new birth certificate for the left.

What would Sanders do between the last primary and the six weeks between the convention if he doesn't concede? Will he still have rallies everywhere or will he try and court superdelegates in Washington?

We get it, @realDonaldTrump: When a woman stands up to you, you’re going to call her a basket case. Hormonal. Ugly.

It's been increasingly clear that 'I will do everything in my power to stop Trump' really means 'I am the only person who can stop Trump ergo I will do everything in my power to wrest the nomination from Hillary'. Still waiting for any suggestion otherwise.

4 more weeks. 4 more week and it all ends. I never thought dancing on the Bernie Sanders campaign grave would feel so sweet on June 7th but Bernie, Weaver and Devine have made it possible.

 

[Macho Madness]

Bernie's argument to superdelegates is much weaker than Clinton's in 2008, and it's not just because of the delegate lead difference: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics...ons-closing-argument-to-superdelegates/53314/

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

We should be ignoring Bernie as much as Hillary is.

 

[Macho Madness]

For the first time in a long time, Clinton is outspending Bernie in Kentucky:

Mark Murray
@mmurraypolitics
Current ad-spending in Kentucky, per our numbers:

Team Clinton: $178,000
Team Sanders: $93,000

 

[VendettaRed07]

Why even have primary votes? Lets just decide everything by polling.

 

[HUELEN10]

We should be ignoring Bernie as much as Hillary is.

Why? Simply because he believe he, not she, has the power to beat Trump? If you look at the numbers, as narrow and humble as the path may be, Sanders still has a chance. Sanders knows there are those that, if he doesn't win, will vote for Trump. He knows what is at stake,so he's not gonna stop.

Which means it would be foolish to stop paying attention as this is also somethi that could affect Clinton.

 

[studyguy]

Sanders is already in a bad spot if they haven't mobilized in CA. Voters are already voting there by mail starting last week actually. It was above 60% mail in vote in 2012 for the primaries. Campaign is a dead man walking.

 

[HylianTom]

We should be ignoring Bernie as much as Hillary is.

In a way, I'm really pleased to see Warren sending an unspoken message to the Democratic primary voters:
"I've moved on to the general, and you should, too."

 

[Holmes]

For the first time in a long time, Clinton is outspending Bernie in Kentucky:

I think they want to win it.

If you still think that Sanders has a chance of getting the nomination then you clearly have an issue with reality.

well yeah. Sanders campaign alluded to not winning there in an earlier article this month. OR would be a shocker though she should do much better than WA Open Caucus.

Yikes. Here's the end of the line.

 

[Macho Madness]

And this is said just as news comes out: Sanders' California director leaves campaign.

The surprise move came after a period when Ceraso advocated for a California strategy that involved more investment on field and digital organizing than on television advertising — a staple of Sanders’ campaign elsewhere so far — he told POLITICO.

This is so awkward:

Scott Wong
In Progressive Caucus meet, #FLSEN hopeful @AlanGrayson attacked Harry Reid for calling on him to drop out over ethics scandal, sources say

Scott Wong ‏
Reid was guest at meeting. Grayson read quote Reid had made about him and Cayman Islands issue. "Shame on you. It’s not true," Grayson said

Scott Wong
Reid immediately replied to Grayson: "It is true and I want you to lose"

Scott Wong ‏
Source: "All the members were appalled" by Grayson's behavior. "It was embarrassing for him & embarrassing for us that he behaved that way"

Scott Wong
Progressive Chair @keithellison tried to stop Grayson from going after Reid: "Why are you doing that? This is so stupid," Ellison said.

Funny that because r/s4p is busy phone/facebanking CA. I came across this thread

I'm 16, and I'll be making ~150 calls every day from now until California.

Seriously. If Lincoln were to gaze into an 8 ball and see the state of his Republican party in 2016, he'd have signed a peace treaty with the Confederate States.
