BTW, I'm a union member (40 years) and union officer. We interview candidates, poll members, analyze policies, and check at chapter meetings.
Bernie came out THIRD in our union assessment. A few loud claims don't mean a thing. Union "leaders" are union members and elected. There is no reason for a union to endorse anyone except the best candidate that represents their interests.
Sanders is NOT focused on policy. I've listened to him for year on Thom Hartmann. He's grumpy, sometimes interesting, and often wrong on the facts. Free tuition and breaking up banks are not policies. They are unicorns.
I'm not frustrated. Any objective analysis would put her on the top of the list for a Democratic election.
He's going to Burlington to think about dropping out.

Weaver is insane. If there was a mercy rule in politics, they would stop the primary.

The OP says the super delegates will flip. There's no reason to think they will do so.

They're talking about Bernie stealing the nomination here, with back room deals.

I think the Clinton campaign is the grand illusion, but maybe that's just me
