Meanwhile, if the Dem race could wrap up tomorrow, that would be awesome.

Not a chance in hell it will, but this needs to not drag on.

Responses:

Why would the Democratic Party want to do anything that might distract from the shitshow that is the GOP right now? -- nm - znufrii Mar 14, 10:01
It's already over. Bernie's too much of an asshole to care about the party he's supposedly trying to take back -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 14, 09:44
For Hillary supporters. She looks worse every day and it would best for her to get it over with before she says or does something - Krusty Mar 14, 09:43 14
- For Democrats it's better since Bernie (still) can't win. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 10:02
- A quick nomination is best for the "party" not just Hillary supporters. Bernie needs to exceed delegate goals, so far he can't meet them. - MDH Mar 14, 09:46 11
  - and he's not even a member of the Party. Some Dems are dumb. -- nm - Diva Mar 14, 10:27
  - So you're hoping Bernie stays in the race despite him not being the nominee to hurt Hillary. This is why the Bernie supporters get minimal respect. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 09:55 3
    - Not to hurt her but push her left. She's too moderate bordering on conservative at times. I want him to force her left -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 10:03 1
      - So you want to hurt her in the general election. - ty97 Mar 14, 10:04
    - well, that and the Facebook posts -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 14, 09:57
  - Good because I don't want her as the nominee -- nm* - Krusty Mar 14, 09:52 5
    - She will be the nominee. The question is do you want her to lose to Trump? -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 10:03 4
      - This. But the Bernie revolution supporters don't get it. Don't throw away the Dem chance, please. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 10:05 3
        
        I understand very well and I still want him in the race. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 10:11 2
        
        *Puts you on the blame list for President Trump -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 10:15 1
        
        Blame the candidate for being weak. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 10:16
- The margins she's going to run up in FL and NC tomorrow will make the other states irrelevant -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 14, 09:46
If Hillary somehow won all 5 states, it's over. If it goes as my note below, she makes it even harder for him to win. - MDH Mar 14, 09:27 15
- I have zero doubt he realizes that math and what a long shot it is. However, he wants to keep the liberal conversation going for as long as he can. - ty97 Mar 14, 09:39 10
  - i think Bernie is playing a really important role and showing Hilary that a lot of people want some significant movement to the left. -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 09:48 9
    - mission accomplished, she's already moved. but she'll never be pure enough for the Warren wing so it's a futile exercise -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 14, 09:55 3
      - How has she moved? -- nm - Strongbad Mar 14, 11:00
      - A smidge doesn't count. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 10:21 1
        
        i remember throwing my vote away for Nader in '00. good times -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 14, 10:23
    - It's a double edge sword of good and some possibly bad IMO - ty97 Mar 14, 09:53
    - I agree, and it's been a help. But eventually they need to start preparing for the GOP, b/c that's actually getting terrifying. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 09:49 3
      - I agree with this. He's made his point and gotten her to move. There is more downside to his campaign moving forward than upside. -- nm - pmb Mar 14, 10:02 2
        
        I think some Bernie supporters see moving the party to the left as more important, even if it hurts the party this cycle. - ty97 Mar 14, 10:10 1
        
        luckily, they aren't actually voting in any substantial numbers -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 14, 10:12
- Yup, she keeps doing 3 steps forward, 1 step back while Bernie does 3 steps forward, 2 steps back. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 09:36 1
  - What steps back? I'm actually curious what Bernie has done. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 09:44
- I'd like for her to refocus and get back to being smart. Last week was a disaster. -- nm - Diva Mar 14, 09:32 1
  - Truly. Lots of dumb, self inflicted wounds the past week. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 09:38
Seriously. Why won't he just stop trying? -- nm - Hillary Clinton Mar 14, 09:25
