Congratulation. He just won Washington !

4 ( +6 / -2 )

Wish Ralph Nader would get with the program.

-1 ( +2 / -3 )

I thought Hillary will win Dem but Sanders is catching up rapidly. Maybe we don't have to guess how to call Bill . His crowd in Seattle baseball field had a full of all sort of people. As many as field is with baseball game is on. He talked many issues. About war, he said Hillary is more hawkish than he is.

'Ole Yeller would have beaten Hillary in Alaska, and he died 50 years ago.

Cold Alaska to Hot Hawaii Sanders' supporters are all over in USA. Meanwhile Republican members have to wait the new convention to find if new one has some plans to make better USA .

There isn't a snowball's chance in the hotspot that the Democratic National Committee will allow Sanders the nomination any more than the GOP RNC will allow Trump. It'll be the choice between sHillary and Robo-Republican.

Vote Third-party!

-4 ( +2 / -6 )

@Fred,, Sanders can become third party candidate if he will not get enough delegate because he is not a DEM member. He has been Independent for all those years.

-1 ( +1 / -2 )

While I am very happy for Sanders, this is a good reminder of past mistake we made having Ralph Nader splitting Democratic voters and at the end, ultimately we lost the race to the Republican. Sorry I am too sober for you guys..

-1 ( +2 / -3 )

What does Nader have to do with it?

-3 ( +3 / -6 )

Bernie has a much bigger chance with the Dems if he was female. The USA knows that it is high time for a woman to sit upon the highest office in the land of freedom. Bernie does have a hope. Obama took it from him in the last election.

There is No Way on Earth I would EVER vote for a socialist, having said that, I do like and respect Bernie as a man with integrity and for the most part honest and genuine. At lest his heart is in the right place, he's vision is unattainable, but the man means well and I wish more politicians were truthful and honest and think about putting the people first before themselves.

And yet you equated him to Stalin. I'd hate to think what you say about people you don't like.

Bernie Sanders has brought much-needed integrity to this campaign. Compare him to the mud-slinging, knob-joke cracking, wife-insulting circus of stupidity and childishness the GOP freakshow has offered up.

He's an example of what a politician should be and a fine advertisement for US politics. An impressive man.

5 ( +7 / -2 )

He also said his campaign is increasing its' outreach to superdelegates, the party insiders who can pick either candidate, and are overwhelmingly with Clinton.

“I think one of the biggest things is free tuition for students,” said Savannah Dills, 24, a college student who supports Sanders.

-One of the worst things Obama has done is constantly raise student loan interest. These interest rates should be going down in an era of cheap/free low interest money. If we got rid of the corruption and all the hand-outs (mostly to the rich + military) the US could easily afford free college/education to everyone. As an example: Germany has free university tuition.

If Bernie can get all the thugs/rioters off the streets and into schools or drug rehab he could actually win it all. The damn Dem "SuperDelegates" may just ruin him, but he is definitely more popular than the NY Carpetbagger Hillary.

@bass4funk The US already has socialism...corporate socialism. Read the book The Conservative Nanny State to see more. The US has a deep state model.

Nader ran as a independent, Bernie is running as a Democrat. He will not run on a third party ticket if he loses to HRC. You are totally wrong about this, hate to bring you to the sober truth.

5 ( +5 / -0 )

And yet you equated him to Stalin.

Yes, that's correct.

I'd hate to think what you say about people you don't like.

That would depend on the situation.

True, but when all is said and done, he still won't be the nominee and even if he were, he'd never make the presidency.

He's an example of what a politician should be and a fine advertisement for US politics.

exemplary as a politician, indeed! Policy-wise, NO! Absolutely NOT!

An impressive man.

Agreed.

You know exactly what I meant by socialism. I was talking about entitlements and the social net, from cradle to grave high taxation and heavy reliance on government. The same government that a lot of us don't trust.

-9 ( +1 / -10 )

Assuming the Republicans nominate Trump, if the Democrats want to beat him, they had better nominate Sanders, as he scores several points more against Trump than Hillary in every poll.

1 ( +2 / -1 )

Yes, that's correct.

And how is that?

Corporate welfare is indeed socialism. Taking tax dollars and distributing them to corporations is no different than spending on welfare for people that are actually poor. Are you suggesting that it is better give funds to companies than to individuals?

His Socialism - unlike Stalin or Mao, he is against war. Hillary ignored these three states. Her strategy may work well if Republicans are stuck with Trump and Cruz. At least she was not involved in that naked picture tweets.

Is this a reason to vote for Hillary? Simply due to gender? I know she said as much but really?

-5 ( +2 / -7 )

this kind of MSM reporting makes my blood boil. Bernie is putting up an impressive fight, yet they are this dismissive? I know Clinton has a strong advantage, but let's let all the states have a say, ok?

boost to his supporters but doing little to move him closer to securing the Democratic nomination.

Look up some news from 2008 election, the same was said about Obama, who took the lead in JUNE

He needs to win more than 67 percent of the remaining delegates overall — from primaries, caucuses and the ranks of uncommitted superdelegates — to prevail.

And he has gotten 70-80 percent in 5 out of 6 states this week. Don't forget California alone has over 500 pledged delegates, and that after California in 2008, super delegates abandoned Clinton.

as the contest moves to the more liberal northeastern states, including her home state of New York.

He was born and raised in NY, but she moved there to become a senator, and it's HER home state?

"There is No Way on Earth I would EVER vote for a socialist" Can you still vote in the USA with no American passport?

Females only know how to vote for only gender as the reason to vote?

Poll least favored by female !..... Trump next Hillary, next Cruz

Females are not brainless.

0 ( +2 / -2 )

....and Hillary and friends should stop treating them as such Toshiko. It is they who claim it's about time for a woman. Better if they said it's about time for a competent president. Gender is no deciding factor.

@nishikat....if liberals have it their way, no ID at all is required. That's a potential 6 million additional votes from illegals. Anyone w/o a valid ID may be someone who is not educated enough or motivated enough to even cast an intelligent vote. Liberals want those votes.

-6 ( +1 / -7 )

A very good day for Bernie.

Now, all he needs to do is rinse and repeat for the rest of the primary season. That's right: he needs these kind's of wins to overcome HRC's lead.

Not likely, but, hey, I never said it was going to be easy.

Home state of candidates----- Cruz was born in Canada but he has been active in Texas so he states heis a Trxan, Hillary in NY, etc.

Media TV analysis of Trump or Cruz or both. Always display Cruz's wife photo full screen. Not Trump's wife. GO P leaders are against Trump but they haven't coolmplained media displaying inter..... action photo. PG21 that school children can watch.

-1 ( +0 / -1 )

Hillary can not ignore people who are supporting Sanders. Whoever wins Demo will not ignore other. They are not like Trump or Cruz. Demo candidates are not experts in lies or porno photo development.

0 ( +0 / -0 )

People should vote for the candidate with the most gender. At this point, Hilary has the most, but time will tell if Berny can catch up to her in that department. Trump has a real problem with gender, and his lack of it could be his undoing in the long run

Voting for Hillary would be voting for another Obama term and more stagnat socialist policies, I would never vote for her. 7 years of distrust and disastrous policies are enough!

-5 ( +2 / -7 )

This is a summary of one of poll. Most trustworthy Sanders Can not trust ... all others

"if liberals have it their way, no ID at all is required." So in this scenario a Japanese tourist could just visit the USA and just vote en route to Las Vegas? Maybe I can register my cat to vote (according to what you say the Democrats would like to allow)

"who is not educated enough or motivated enough to even cast an intelligent vote." Sounds like Bundies, KKK, and white supremacists. I didn't realize they helped vote a black family in the WH. Interesting. I need to straighten out my facts.

Moderator: You have been asked before not to use the word "Bundies," which is meaningless. Please do not use it again.

Read the book The Conservative Nanny State to see more about corporate welfare. Also Charles Hugh Smith has explained this if anyone is interested (many simply say, "Don't confuse me with the facts").

Proportion of increment of Super delegate... Sander's is getting larger.

Sanders is proposing debate to Clinton.
