In your next post please tell us how much money you think super delegates that support Bernie will get from the DNC.

Did she raise money for Dems or "Dems" - two different things. polichick Jan 2016 #1
When it comes time to pass laws, they most certainly aren't "two different things". KittyWampus Jan 2016 #2
I recall the people giving both houses of Congress and the WH to "Dems"... polichick Jan 2016 #7
When did they ever have anything other than the slimmest margins? KittyWampus Jan 2016 #8
Excuses, excuses. "Dems" are not Dems - thankfully, people are getting that. polichick Jan 2016 #10
LOL! Reality isn't an "excuse". KittyWampus Jan 2016 #16

Wake up to reality - Blue Dog "Dems" and their pals in the WH... polichick Jan 2016 #50
Aptly Described.... CorporatistNation Jan 2016 #112
Blue Dogs are moles inside the Democratic Party. At least we can all agree that Republicans GoneFishin Jan 2016 #229
And it will never be enough. zeemike Jan 2016 #111
That never happened. Joe Lieberman was an Independent during pnwmom Jan 2016 #12
Blue Dog "Dems" were also unreliable, and WH support was unreliable... polichick Jan 2016 #34
The people won't have any power unless they're represented in Congress. pnwmom Jan 2016 #55
Corporate "Dems" represent corporate interests, thus the designation. polichick Jan 2016 #57
With Bernie's supporters help, non-"corporate Dems" can be elected. pnwmom Jan 2016 #63
I don't know that he isn't - or won't. What I do know is that not one penny... polichick Jan 2016 #68
I'm with you. Right now, I am giving to Bernie. JDPriestly Jan 2016 #97

It worked out well for those without insurance ... 1StrongBlackMan Jan 2016 #109
Not anywhere near as well as it would have with the public option... polichick Jan 2016 #129
But far better than what we had. The public option ... 1StrongBlackMan Jan 2016 #138
Only because "Dems" are not Dems - which is the point. polichick Jan 2016 #142
No ... only because America was not ready for it. eom. 1StrongBlackMan Jan 2016 #166

Voting for the same industry slanted policies is status quo. JRLeft Jan 2016 #78

I just saw the article on how much Hillary has raised for down-ticket candidates. KittyWampus Jan 2016 #5
Also in the article.... Punkingal Jan 2016 #23
A Daily Kos poster characterized the money Eric J in MN Jan 2016 #37
It will be spent on bolstering *any* candidate who wins the nomination frazzled Jan 2016 #147
No, this is false. Hillary Clinton corodinated with the DNC INdemo Jan 2016 #6
