Remember when people argued Bernie wouldn't go negative? Good times. (www.bloomberg.com)

Responses:

Bernie finally is turning into the delusional old man most people knew he was. He's going down swinging, and it ain't cute. - MDH Apr 7, 06:27 8
- His supporters are more delusional than he is. And that is saying something!! -- nm - Bacon Apr 7, 06:50 7
  - I know! How can we want someone that stands for the things we want to see happen in the country? - Krusty Apr 7, 07:04 1
    - That he can still win at this point -- nm - Bacon Apr 7, 07:05
  - From the outside, he was really necessary for you guys. you basically need a revolution to stop the spiral towards Trump-ism. - Andie Apr 7, 06:53 4
    - He woke up the youth voters who tend to stay idle in campaigns so if they stay energized in the future that will be a good thing. -- nm - Bacon Apr 7, 07:00
    - I appreciate what he indicates (I hope) for the future, that the liberalization of the American electorate is increasing - ty97 Apr 7, 06:55 1
      - Let's be real, it would throw away a gift wrapped present to the party. -- nm* - MDH Apr 7, 06:57
    - I won't disagree with this. I just wish he ran an unflawed campaign that helped the ticket, instead of just stealing money. -- nm - MDH Apr 7, 06:55
"I think she's really a man." -- nm - Mop Apr 7, 06:22
Lol, no. -- nm - znufrii Apr 7, 05:54
If that's his justification for why she's unqualified, he's grasping. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 7, 05:53 1
- It's his reaction to her saying she's not sure he's qualified, following the NY Daily News editorial board / Bernie transcript that was published. -- nm* - ty97 Apr 7, 05:54
If you listen to the speech, that point is a little overblown, in my opinion. He just took her saying he wasn't qualified and added it to his stump. - volnelk Apr 7, 05:52 1
- That's what I read as well. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 05:59
Clinton has been hitting him the last few days and this isn't much from Bernie. - Krusty Apr 7, 05:52
He's been going negative for a bit now. And openly lamenting that he didn't go negative sooner. -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 05:52 21
- So has she. She's getting frustrated at losing to him. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 05:52 20
  - umm, she is still winning. I think she is more frustrated that he wants to keep dragging this out and therefore keeping the story about him vs her - Truman Apr 7, 05:54 4
    - He has won the last few primaries and is getting close to winning the next few as well. He's dragging it out because he can still win. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 05:58 3
      - Is it possible he could win? Yes. Is it in any way probable? No. - Inigo Apr 7, 06:16 2
        
        It would require a significant shift in demographic voting patterns from the first half of the primaries - ty97 Apr 7, 06:24
        
        This. Understanding delegate math is quite simple. -- nm - MDH Apr 7, 06:22
  - (She's winning) -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 05:53 14
    - Really? *checks the last six primaries* Bernie has the momentum and has been winning of late. - Krusty Apr 7, 05:57 13
      - bernie's base delegate goal for WI was 48. He's so far behind he needs to exceed his goals every time. His total delegates from WI 48. - MDH Apr 7, 06:29 2
        
        Momentum builds momentum. She's going to win and thanks to the joke that is the GOP, she's going to win. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 7, 06:31
        
        Case in point, to meet (not even exceed his goal), he needs to win NY 51-49. -- nm - MDH Apr 7, 06:30
      - His negativity is not in response, he's been negative for a while. - ty97 Apr 7, 05:59 9
        
        If this is going negative we've really gotten soft. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 06:01 8
        
        I don't know, saying that the other person isn't qualified to be President is a pretty negative statement. - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Apr 7, 06:08 2
        
        Objectively, yes. In the context of political discourse, no. -- nm - znufrii Apr 7, 06:24
        
        Please. Every candidate that has ever run has said their opponent isn't qualified. This is barely anything. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 06:11
        
        It's certainly nowhere near the negativity of the other race, for sure. -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 06:02 3
        
        Forget the other race, it's not near any race ever. If he says anything critical it's an attack or going negative. - Krusty Apr 7, 06:05 2
        
        I guess I'm confused then - ty97 Apr 7, 06:07 1
        
        Fair enough. They're both going negative in a very soft way and with a bit of truth behind it. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 06:10
        
        This -- nm - znufrii Apr 7, 06:02
its ok, because he is really a dino. - Truman Apr 7, 05:50
