At the same time, potentially hands presidency to the GOP. I'm fine with an open convention if Hillary is far enough away from the magic number, but I hope when push comes to shove if she's only a percent or two away Bernie will bow out for general election strength.

Yea, but Obama had to requisite number at the time of the convention. That guy was saying they'd fight if she didn't have that.

He only went over because of super delegates though. If she has more pledged delegates, more votes, etc., and hasn't recently suffered a stroke or been indicted, she'll certainly be over with super delegates. Sanders will either yield to start the party unity stuff or be needlessly harming her chances.

That said, saying you're going to fight till the end now is something you say as a campaign whether or not you have any intention of following through on that statement.

as you and every other HRC supporter seem so keen on pointing out, Sanders isn't a Democrat.

I was just riffing off your post. I don't know why I thought my post was obviously sarcasm when in fact it was just pointless. Ignore it.

my bad, i clearly read your post wrong.

there are HRC voters who actually think that stuff like this will harm HRC/help the GOP nominee. i really don't see how.

I saw Trump hired an actual establishment GOP campaign adviser to basically replace Lewandowski. Not because of the assault, because he lost Wisconsin...

Then Hillary doesn't need to worry because Bernie won't even be at the convention!

There aren't enough independent voters for him to push his political revolution. It's why he is using the Democratic party. Alienating the majority of the party that allowed him to run isn't the best strategy for having them converted to your long term strategy of effecting change on the political system.

Three more pledged delegates for Lyin' Ted in CO-04. TRUMP shows his first signs of life by actually getting two of the alternate delegates. One district remains today. Tomorrow the 13 statewide delegates are allocated.

I don't think his goal is to convince DWS and the Democratic establishment that he's right.

Lyin' Ted wins all three delegates from CO-03. He goes 21 for 21 in congressional district level delegates in Colorado, with 13 more up for grabs tomorrow at the state convention. Sad!
