I'm looking forward to being able to vote for him in primary, since Virginia has open primaries.
Unfortunately, unless a miracle occurs 2016 will be another year where I vote for someone with no shot at winning in the general. But I've already accepted that I'll probably never vote in a single President in my lifetime.

Slayven, you chose the wrong battle this time, mang.
Yeah, I doubt it very seriously.
It was a pretty stupid question.

Of course she wants it out, at least in regards to Citizen's United. Sure, it gives her a huge advantage over Bernie Sanders, but he isn't, never was, and never will be her real competition. Watch the money pour into the Republican candidate in the fall, watch it pour into Republican House and Senate candidates, that's why Democrats want it gone.

Two white Northeasteners would never fly with the Party. Besides, Julian Castro has been in VP training since last year.

Because he announced he is running that would usually give a runner a boast and of course other things. But most polls( not online ones) have him at mid teens- high teens a little more than a month or so. That didn't change much .
Yeah, Hillary isn't going to be picking Sanders for VP.

man i was going to go to this today. goddammit.
Question was loaded. As a President he would be apologizing on behalf on the Nation, but it would be out of place for him as an Individual to apologize. The answer was solid and not at all like other weasly non-answers.

I've noticed blacks have a problem with Bernie, and I'm not really understanding why. Joe Madison says the dumbest shit sometimes, but I love his show.

Bernie TV said 10-14k...but it only holds 12k...swept around the room. Only empty spot is right behind the cameras.
He answered in the best way possible, c'mon...
Wow. I really don't see what those protests can hope to accomplish, really. Bernie Sanders is nobody's oppressor. Why not go after essentially candidates who do NOT actively campaign for police reform?

I keep debating back and forth if I want to go into Dallas tomorrow for the rally. Only issue is, its in downtown dallas and I hate driving around in it.

I am so looking forward to the type of dirt the GOP dredges up for this guy.
Downtown Dallas is hell. I'm sure it will be packed either way, so you don't have to worry too much about showing up.
His polar oppossite ideology is more than enough to keep them busy.

I went to SGC last year, which is where his rally is tomorrow. Its a nice place, just a bitch to get to. People in downtown drive too fast, thinking you know the area. Tons of one way roads that make it confusing. I dunno, ill think it over tonight.
Really? Downtown Dallas is one of the easier downtown areas I've driven through. And it's the middle of a Sunday afternoon, shouldn't be too bad. Or you could just take the train, Ziltoidia. There's a station right by the sheraton.
Anybody who supports Bernie should absolutely vote for the democrat in the general if he loses the primary, even if that's Hilary. I don't particularly like the Clintons but politicians are beholden to the people who elect them to some extent, so it's not like Hilary can just abandon her base completely once elected. I'm not expecting much other than immigration reform and new SC justices but it's still infinitely better than any republican.
That being said, Hilary supporters spewing all of their vitriol and condescension towards Sanders and anybody who likes him are as bad or worse than the most hardcore Sanders fans. Jesus Christ, just let people support him in the primary if they want to without automatically labeling them idiots, children, everything that's wrong with America, etc. I guarantee the majority of people who vote for him in the primary will vote for Hillary if she wins. The people saying they won't are almost all people who normally wouldn't vote/would vote third party anyway if he had never gotten in the race. When the general comes along, I'll be right with you trying to convince these people to vote for Hillary if she's the nominee but let people support their candidate of choice and show some enthusiasm without being an arrogant asshole for at least a few months.

Agreed with this entire post. I have no clue where this "Sanders hasn't done anything for black people" meme started.

I expect at least one "he's the White Obama!".
Wait, did I miss the memo? When did blacks say they have a problem with Bernie? Is this from one or two people you know or something else?
Polling indicates women and minority Democratic primary voters overwhelmingly support Hillary. Bernie has young white men and that is pretty much it.
Well shit, I did miss the memo.
I'm Black soooo......I guess I'm supporting Hilary, cause I'm supposed to.

I think Sanders would well with black voters if he got his bio out there. Untapped market.
There really hasn't been much coverage on Bernie by MSM. I'm sure once that picks up, the number of support by minorities would raise tremendously. I have yet to hear about Bernie on TV, even though CNN and others have discussed about him in the past from what i'm seeing online. Like others have said, it's not understandable why Bernie wouldn't get the support.

I feel like the black leaders/politicians are pretty much set in supporting Hillary because of the 2008 election. I feel like they think they "owe her one".
Yeah. Sure. The reason people of color don't agree with you about Bernie Sanders is that they're ignorant! Obviously if they knew everything about him they'd support him just as much as you. The only explanation is that they don't know as much as you do.
This is even better! The reason people of color don't support Bernie is that the fix is in!
Guys, the reason Bernie's only popular with white liberals right now is because he has a message tuned to white liberals. Where is he on voting rights? Where is he on child care? Where is he on immigration reform? Where is he on criminal justice reform? He's nowhere. Hillary has all that stuff front and center.
A message that focuses on economic inequality and ignores racial inequality is going to fail with people of color. That's just how it is.
What's most offensive to the shade being given to Sanders is he was actually at the location of MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech as it was happening. Sanders has been for people for decades.
