Sanders Has Already Won Primaries!

http://www.newsyoushouldntbelieve.com

Bernie Sanders Has Won Secret Primary Elections

Exclusive News Release!
by H.A. Poorlooser

It's not well known yet, but the outcome of the Democratic primary races has already been decided, and Bernie Sanders has won. In all 50 states, online results show clearly that Sanders has won every primary election and will be nominated by acclamation at the Democratic President Nominating Committee next summer.

Hard to believe? It's true, and was first revealed on a prominent Democratic website. What that means is that the entire continuing campaign for the Democratic nomination is a sham and an exercise designed only to placate the useless and clueless majority of Democratic voters.

The MSM is not covering this story of Senator Sanders' remarkable surprise victory because there is too much money to be made in advertising revenues and increased readership and viewership. By keeping The American People™ in the dark about the secret primary election that has already taken place, the MSM is ensuring that they will profit from the sham primaries that are scheduled for 2016.

Supporters of Senator Sanders should relax and not be concerned about his campaign at this point. The nomination is in the bag for him. Going forward, I will not be writing further about the Democratic primary races, but will focus my journalistic acumen on helping Rand Paul continue his masterful service to the nation in the U.S. Senate.



I'd like to thank my loyal readers for informing me of this secret election, and hope they will continue to read my editorial comments about the real election for President in November of 2016. If that election has already occurred, I hope someone will notify me soon.

NRA Proposes Exclusive New Gun Control Law
NRA Proposed Firearms Law Would Restrict Ownership
"In a closed news conference, Wayne LaPierre, of the National Rifle Association, today proposed a radical and exclusive firearms control law. After careful screening and passing through a metal detector and frisking, a select group of media reporters was admitted to the secure briefing room. LaPierre immediately launched into his remarks.

"The American People are shocked and dismayed at the recent violence in Paris and dangerous incidents within the United States. Firearms in the wrong hands are creating a dangerous world, and we are now proposing a federal law that would restrict firearms ownership to only those who deserve to own them. This law would impose strict limitations on who could own firearms by requiring NRA membership before a permit to own a firearm could be issued."

Calling the OP a "jerk" is unnecessary and a personal attack that is against the rules. This post and the pile-on ends up making D.U. unpleasant for everyone.

the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Rude, over the top, pointless, personal attack.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The OP sustained a Hide attempt, and so should this response. Don't like it? Try arguing your point. Yet another frivolous alert.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: "Some jerk" is not necessarily the OP.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's not at all clear to who the poster is calling a jerk.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Using the term jerk is pretty much kindness overkill for the DU septic tank that is GD-P. Anybody that decides to post here can probably handle the word. sharp_stick.

This is why they have panic attacks every time Sanders gets 1% over her in a poll somewhere, and gripe about how caucuses are 'undemocratic" while announcing that primaries don't matter because of clinton's delegates.

I'm not worried, myself. I have it on good authority that Clinton is unfit to be president.

That memory is a not-insubstantial part of my lack of support for Clinton now. She hasn't changed. Neither have her supporters, which is a really weird thing, as I haven't met one current clinton supporter who admits ot supporting her in 2008.

Wonder why that is.

I'm not one of them, though. I supported Obama and voted for him in my precinct caucus way back in February of 2008.

What a lot of trouble you went to. An advanced search, screen cap and then uploading to an image upload site. BTW, I know of only one place where I have been called "MinimalMan." Interesting coincidence in that file name.

64. It looks like a DU advanced search for OPs by me
Fri Dec 4, 2015, 04:10 PM

for the month of November onward. I do post one or two a day, on average here. I find it amusing that someone would go to that trouble to be able to post something I'm happy to admit to. I post here, and have for years. You could search for any month since November of 2008 and find OPs I had posted.

I'm not sure what the point was supposed to be.

The reference to MinimalMan was based on the file name of that image, which I found by right clicking the image, which is stored at an anonymous image dump:

I have no clue why they would do that. Truly makes no sense(to me). Does show you start a lot of discussions on topics pertinent to the primaries combined with a little fun. Either way you get people talking.

There are lots of people who write political satire. You can find it almost everywhere. It's all part of the fun of politics. I'm always happy to pass it along when I find it. Some is better than others, though, I'll grant you. But even weak satire has its place. It shows that people are paying attention.

Clearly it refers to some poor person who, unfortunately, is looser than, um, someone else.

I feel sorry for loose people. Or I might, if I knew what it meant to be loose.

Some people think those people should wield unlimited power. Other people think otherwise.

There are many people in this world, and most make decisions. We are fortunate to live in country where we can make decisions, a country where some people are basically OK with even horrifically stupid and/or sociopathic decisions allegedly because another person's supporters drive Volvos or some such bull@#$&. Because that is the nature of freedom.

Your choices may vary, of course.

"Supporters of Senator Sanders should relax and not be concerned about his campaign at this point. The nomination is in the bag for him. Going forward, I will not be writing further about the Democratic primary races, but will focus my journalistic acumen on helping Rand Paul continue his masterful service to the nation in the U.S. Senate."

Its a clear signal of how over the top way too many Sanders supporters are here. And you can see posts by some of them here objecting to the article.

If you don't like the article, then don't post or rec something so blindingly stupid it begs to be ridiculed. After we all have denounced the efficacy of online polls for years, don't start claiming they are accurate because you would like to believe the conclusions of a few of them. Don't ridicule and throw everything including the kitchen sink at a civil rights activist group (BLM) and then several months later claim you never said those things and that BLM is great because one of its leaders likes Sanders.

And don't alert on and vote to hide stuff just because its against your candidate or points out inconvenient truths.
