If she doesn't score a knockout in Nev and SC the PTB are going to pull the plug on her and step out PlanB. Perhaps that's why the DNC just decided to allow large donations from lobbyists.

She and her surrogates are having to spend time and $$ trying to raise $$ to keep up with Bernie. He was able to outspend her 3:1 on advertising in the last 2 weeks of NH. And then we gave him his huge boost post NH landslide.

And a one-off Nevada poll shows Bernie closed a 30 or 40 point gap between December and NH, so they're dead even there. And Bernie's internal polling shows him gaining in *every* demographic group. Especially young poc.

So they're throwing yet another lifeline to the HRC Titanic.

said he sw a problem with Hillary's Super Tuesday plan . Republicans have been there before and we laughed at them for it. Now it's our turn and the'll laugh at us for being even more stupid. Hopefully we won't let Republicans get the last laugh. Go Bernie, the best shot at civil rights for all we have at the moment. And maybe some light push on Warrent to endorse.

I was remembering seeing "Ready for Hillary" bumper stickers and giving people the thumbs up. Can not even stand to see her now. Very disappointing campaign she is running.

I always wanted Bernie to run, as a long time fan of Brunch with Bernie on Thom Hartmann's show, but never expected to see him so close. I had faith, but now am really confident he will win.

Obviously, his message is the whole enchilada. But, he really developed enough of a movement to get off to a pretty good start don "Brunch". I know Thom's show was how I met Bernie. Think that statement's true for a lot of us here.

to be President, unlike Clinton, but felt he had to since Sen Warren was warned off by the DNC. He knew he would be putting himself and his family in danger and said he wouldn't do it if he wouldn't have millions backing him up. Bless him for taking the risk. The Movement is well underway and will continue regardless of the shenanigans by the corrupt Party elite.

Mook (...Mook.) already started the lowering of expectations in SC in that not at all panicked memorandum emphasizing their impending domination on Super Tuesday. Who knows where they'll move the goalposts once that doesn't pan out, because she isn't going to win in California.

That's the entire point-the change movement is disliked because it will change things. If they honestly thought they could marginalize Sanders, they'd give him the key to the WH right now.
