Bernie Sanders Is The Front-Runner

[demi-conservative]

I guess you can't buy an election after all.

Sad.

[Sparko]

Sad.

Maybe if he spent $600,000...

You know one thing that none of the candidates seemed to do this election? Try to use the internet as a primary channel for marketing. Maybe the Russians wouldn't let them.

Bloomberg endorses Biden. Will Warren stay in to hamper Bernie?

Only kids spend that much time on the internet and not on TV. TV ads still are the way to go.

Or they could be Trump, greatest twitter troll ever.

All Bernie needs is a cool bible prophesy and a bible weeping oil, the laying on of hands, and he's a shoo in.

Bernie needs to stop blessing Castro.

[KingsGambit]

It is odd that praising Castro eviscerated Sanders' campaign whereas Trump largely got a free pass for saying he "fell in love" with Kim Jong Un. It's really a crapshoot what will stick and what won't.

Trump was obviously joking.

Trump was obviously joking.

He was also being diplomatic during tense and important negotiations. I'm not sure why people think it would have been preferable for Trump to insult Kim to his face.

[KingsGambit]

There was nothing clearly "joking" about the context when he described Kim Jong Un as a "great" leader who "loves his people".

Either it is wrong to praise a dictator, or it is more complicated. Note that the context I have provided was not specifically to his face. Sanders' comments were wrong on their face, but they were even qualified in a manner that Trump's comments were not.

He'd likely do better with a weeping Virgin Mary statue

Not likely. He has a long history of publicly praising folks who he's entering negotiations with.

Then they could proclaim that he's trying to provoke war just like they declared when he called him "Rocket Man." With those folks he's darned if he does and darned if he doesn't.

[rogue06]

No, take my word for it, Bernie is done. Biden will get the required delegates by the convention. More Democrat voters will swing towards Biden now to prevent a brokered convention. And the under 30 crowd did not turn out for Bernie - only one in eight. The delicious news of the night: Warren couldn't even win her state! Couldn't happen to a nicer person!

She actually came in THIRD in her home state^[1] and that was the best she did all night. Apparently folks listened to her when she called on them to "cast a vote that will make you proud" and few people would have been proud to vote for her.

Anywho... she did her job in siphoning off enough votes from Sanders to keep him from winning states like Massachusetts and Maine and thereby earn her reward from the DNC. Of course she'll have to get in line behind Buttigieg, Klobuchar and "Beto."





1. Is this an indication that she might have trouble getting re-elected to the Senate?

Or a piece of the Holy Hand Grenade...

The one from Antioch and blessed by St. Attila? You'd first have to get by a rather ferocious and bloodthirsty lepus to get it smiley shudder.gif
