Bernie Sanders, cannot WIN this nomination.

Is that clear enough for all?

It's OVER.

There is NO path for him to win this.

For real, if he keeps asking you for donations along with declarations of his viability, know you are being played.

I look forward to seeing you criticize the repetitive and duplicate posts about Bernie still "having a chance" and that Southern black voters don't count, and that women are voting for their gender bias, and that acres mean more than delegates, and that closed primaries are unfair, and that elections clerks are flipping party registrations, etc etc etc.

That'll be a real treat to see you voice your content for those posts. I can't wait!

Don't infantalize voters. Your aren't the keeper of their money. They want to exercise their voice and let the party know where they stand. There's nothing wrong with that.

You don't see the gop cutting short their primaries. And look at kasich's & cruz's numbers!!!!!

I think of primaries as a gauge of the democratic voters.

I supported PBO in 2008 but fully and unequivocally supported HRC staying in the race.

let everyone have their vote during primary season.

I'm not willing to sacrifice any of my children for HRC and the MIC.

I feel that anyone supporting her- should happily put themselves and their children up for sacrifice when she and her corporate masters $tart more war$.

The arrogance is people who support her expecting others to fight her battles for them.

Then in SC and even in this farce of a state of FL (which the Dems are really only using the logo; they have little to do with progressive values at local and state levels).... But I've always voted in every primary and GE, even when it was hard to do so in college.

I'm 37, a woman, NOT wealthy, with kids, and in the Tampa Bay (must win corridor for Dems), and I really don't know that I can vote for anyone this election? Hillary will take us to more wars, she will cut social security, she will trade away more to the wealthy and protect banks/ wall st, and because she's a Dem, people won't stand up against it. If it's Trump, it's probably a short trip to fascism.

I know 2000 was all Nadar uproar over no difference, and at that time, due to triangulation and the DLC, there wasn't much. Bush took us to war, Clinton authorized and stood up on the Senate floor to rail out a hawkish speech.

My son wants to serve in the military when he's older. I don't want him serving for irresponsible wars of greed. id prefer for him to go to college and then maybe join. It would be nice if he had the option of affording to make an either or choice. These are real issues to people. We have the Internet and records to look at. Hers is really not a good record. Saying the types of things people in the Hillary camp say and the surrogates and herself on TV, it's puke worthy quite frankly.

And I just had a conversation with my child about a moral character and lies and the willingness to lie starts a very negative path for ones morality. He's tween-ish. And he's growing into a man... So, it's important that I send out a quality human being with a grounded moral center to the world... What does it say about me if im partly responsible for making a more negative path in the world with my vote? Or support?

These are how I look at these things. Women didn't always have the vote. Women still struggle... And I can count the many ways in which she's not good for women's issue, from the minimum wage squashing to the wars to the fracking campaign to the TPP (women around the world will suffer)... It's an important, not fanciful sporting game to me. It's real shit! And we desperately need to emulate some fairer countries.

Yeah, I happen to know he's a real deal as far as we would ever get on a national stage. He didn't have to do this. He didn't have to put his family thru the political spin. He could be still railing against corruption on the Senate floor. I think when Warren said no, he stepped up to the plate for so many with lack of voice or care anymore.

I'm not exactly male, 20, or a misogynist. I happen to have had the privilege to grow up in VT to know him before others.

Delegates are the currency that is traded at the convention to shape the nominee's campaign and future Cabinet. If you don't believe me, ask 2008's runner-up.

Anyone without the stomach for Democratic politics is welcome to give up now.

Until Clinton has 2026 pledged delegates, it's still possible for Sanders to get 2026 pledged delegates.
