CentralCoaster's Journal"Let it be known that now Sander's supporters have found issue with Obama daughter going to Harvard"
First, Brock and company invent the whole "Bernie Bros" myth.
NOW, they claim that the BBs THAT THEY INVENTED are insulting Obama and family.
Epic fail. Trolling that's not even good trolling.
This seems to be one of the latest fake charges to be made as part of the latest million dollar trolling campaign.
It is, of course, bullshit. Bernie supporters are not saying anything of the sort.

Idiocy.
Confession: I underestimated the import of Citizens United, never expected a Dem to exploit it.
I'm thinking that all of us are going to remember where we were when Democracy died.
This moment might be the Democratic Convention to some of us, or the night of the General Election to others.
But unless we see our only progressive candidate overcome the odds, the end of Democracy will already have happened.

Sanders: If Clinton Wins, She'll Have To Win Over My Supporters Herself
Note, the headline is not a direct quote. Read below:
What a perfect and genuine response! 
"And if Secretary Clinton wins, it is incumbent upon her to tell millions of people who right now do not believe in establishment politics or establishment economics, who have serious misgivings about a candidate who has received millions of dollars from Wall Street and other special interests," he said. "She has got to go out to you."
During a town hall with MSNBC's Chris Hayes on Monday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) told a supporter that it's his choice whether to back Hillary Clinton if she becomes the Democratic presidential nominee.
A audience member who said he backs Sanders' candidacy asked the senator whether he will encourage his supporters to back Clinton if she wins the nomination.
"We’re not a movement where I can snap my fingers and say to you or to anybody else what you should do, that you should all listen to me. You shouldn’t. You make these decisions yourself," Sanders replied.
He then said that Clinton will have to court his supporters herself.
"And if Secretary Clinton wins, it is incumbent upon her to tell millions of people who right now do not believe in establishment politics or establishment economics, who have serious misgivings about a candidate who has received millions of dollars from Wall Street and other special interests," he said. "She has got to go out to you."
(Clinton's interview came after she was able to watch Bernie, so she was prepared with her answer)
During a town hall with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Monday night, Clinton said that during the 2008 election, she did not set "conditions" for supporting Barack Obama.

Can anyone count the total regular delegates won by Sanders from open primary states?
I'm not able to use Internet right now...
If we look only at delegates, not super-delegates, and for primary states that allow Independents to vote...
...wouldn't we be ahead?
I'm thinking we would, and I'm thinking that these numbers would be far more representative of what happens against the GOP.
What do you all think?

So, what is the "Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact Commission", you ask?
There's just a terrific amount of concern in some circles about a $4,900 income item for Jane Sanders, which represents payment for serving as an alternate on the Vermont State "Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact Commission".
Jane Sanders' role: I happen to be delighted that we have a champion of the environment and of social justice sitting at this time on the board of this organization.
But but but, RADIOACTIVE WASTE???
Not to worry. The states of Texas and Vermont maintain an agreement (one of many similar interstate accords) by which they cooperatively manage low-level radioactive waste generated within their boundaries, pursuant to the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act of 1980.
It is the policy of the party states to cooperate in the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of their citizens and the environment and to provide for and encourage the economical management and disposal of low-level radioactive waste.
Some of the materials Low Level Waste consists of are: "gloves and other protective clothing, glass and plastic laboratory supplies, machine parts and tools, and disposable medical items that have come in contact with radioactive materials".
Bernie Sanders, Sheilah Jackson Lee and others cosponsored HR 629, the Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact Consent Act, to make such arrangements possible.
Contrary to Right Wing talking points, Sanders did not vote to send these materials to a little town called Sierra Blanca. Sierra Blanca was at one point selected as a possible site for the storage project but it was not written into the legislation and was a matter of selection by the State of Texas.
I'll say it again: I happen to be delighted that we have a champion of the environment and of social justice sitting at this time on the board of this organization.
