Hillary Clinton brought a close to the presidential primary season with a win in the nation’s capital Tuesday, and her campaign seemed to be hoping Clinton’s meeting that night with rival Bernie Sanders would lead to his formal surrender.
But Sanders instead delivered a message: I’m not out of this yet.
Clinton, hoping to set a tone of Democratic unity heading into next month’s party convention in Philadelphia, met with Sanders Tuesday where they discussed party unity.
Political analysts openly wondered if Sanders would concede in the meeting.
Sanders continued his refusal to endorse Clinton, and some critics have begun openly wondering if Clinton’s inability to finish off Sanders will negatively impact her in the 2016 general election.
Even with Clinton’s victory Tuesday in the District of Columbia, the final primary of 2016, the former secretary of state lacks enough pledged delegates to wrap up the party’s nomination.
The Vermont senator had said the private meeting would help him determine how committed Clinton will be to the policy issues he has staked out during his 13-month campaign.
Sanders said he would continue to push for new leadership in the Democratic National Committee — his campaign has sparred with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the party’s chair — along with a progressive platform in the summer convention and electoral changes, such as primaries that allow independents to participate and the elimination of superdelegates.
“We need major, major changes in the Democratic Party,” he said.
Yet in Sanders’ statement from spokesman Michael Briggs, the senator does not refer to Clinton as the presumptive nominee but instead congratulates her “on the campaign she has run.”
Sanders was warmly received Tuesday by Senate Democrats at their weekly luncheon, where he offered an update about his campaign and some of the lessons he had learned during the past year. Lawmakers in attendance said Sanders did not indicate his future plans.
The self-described democratic socialist says he will take his campaign to the convention in July and advocate for his policy issues in the platform while urging Democrats to be more inclusive of independents, young people and working-class voters, all of whom were pivotal in his victories in 22 states. But what that will look like still remains unclear.
Looking forward, Sanders has begun helping Democrats preparing for congressional races and the battle to regain control of the Senate.
An early test of his clout came Tuesday in Nevada, where a Sanders-backed congressional candidate, Lucy Flores, was defeated in a three-way primary.
Sanders has opened up his campaign’s massive email donor list to several Democratic candidates, hauling in more than $2.4 million for his allies. Flores has been the top recipient of those appeals, collecting about $390,000 from an email Sanders sent in April on behalf of her and two other candidates.

Socialism is good till you run out of other people’s money
Politicians will say or do anything for votes
To me, Socialism is like the Holocaust. We have had socialism for the past 8 years under Obama. Has the Democrats passed bills that would benefit most Americans? Has the Democrats passed bills that would improve the economy, health, education? Has the Democrats eliminated wasteful spending and downsized government? The answer to all the questions is NO. Why? Because Congress wants to line their pockets with kickbacks from lobbyists. (SJ)
Only Donald Trump can save America from Hillary’s lies and wrath!
Dream on. The Donald is out for himself, no one else. There is no candidate still running that deserves MY vote.
you are a MEAT HEAD
I sure agree with that. Maybe I will just stay home this election. No one worth my vote, or my family’s vote. Donald lost me when he made fun of the disabled. I thought his mocking was way out of line. Unbelievable, really. I don’t know how many people saw it but, I was appalled.
And you know this because? You actually think that the other politicians are not looking out for themselves too? The real questions is which one of them actually is the least greedy or still has patriotism left in them and care enough for this country and its citizens.
Remember: No matter what you do, other than a vote for “The Donald” is a vote for the criminal Hillary
Mr. Trump does not need your liberal vote.
You have to all vote. Try to pick someone who you think might help America get back from the government corruption. Think of whom will put the best people in office to do the job correctly. No vote is doing nothing for your country. Your choices are Trump or Sanders as for Clinton we all know how corrupt and self centered she is and will give nothing to this country. Or protect us from terriorist Give this much needed thought on you part
Really??? The one thing that should be considered here is… If you choose to not vote, then that IS a vote for “crooked Hitlery”!! If you vote for her then one must ask, “How long will it be before we have not the right, and I might add, the privilege to vote?” Just something to consider during these trying times!!
And for that you will turn over the country to a corrupt socialist that will destroy our children and grandchildren. So much for ignorance.
A no vote is a vote for the BENGHAZI KILLER-ARY. So do you have a family or just don’t care.
Connie Condra: Why would Donald Trump be out for himself………he has no reason to be for himself and no one else. He has enough money to make sure he is not beholden to anyone which is exactly what most presidents need to be. He has paid out of his own pocket for a lot of his campaign expenses. Also has been said he is not going to except a salary for his time in as commander-in-chief of this country………is to be donated to charity. Only two presidents having served this country has ever done that………Trump and Reagan. From what I just read in a comment above says, “not voting in this election is the same as a vote for Hillary. I would vote if I had to vote “a write in”.
You are 100% correct…
Actually only one president has donated his salary and that was Herbert Hoover. Reagan kept his salary, and Trump has never been president, therefore only one.
Just try to imagine Hillary as President. It’s scary.
Sharon its much worse. Democrats are trading American sovereignty for votes. That’s why the admin is wanting all those illegals here. Everyone of them will get subsidized and end up as Democrat voters (after they become eligible to vote). Which is what Obama is pushing for. Diversity is only good while the predominate culture remains so. When we mix up too many cultures you don’t have America anymore. You have the Tower of Babel! Our Constitution is what had allowed the legal immigrant masses to create such a great country. If immigrant Muslims wont Swear an Oath to defend the constitution (over sharia law) they should not become citizens. And certainly not be able to participate in the US congress or judiciary. The alternative is to “give away the store.” Does that sound Islamophobic? Or common sense?
You are right, its common sense but this illegal president have a very minimal amount of that. That is why the liberals, and the democrat/socialists think so much different then a sane person.
Judging people harshly because for some reason you disapprove of their constitutional right to vote their conscious? Hilary and Donald are under investigation by the FBI and you call liberals insane? REALLY?
Michael Wallingford-
First, yes, someone must be conscious to vote. Second, this is not about conscience. Third, anyone who’d vote for someone who’s repeatedly proven they’re a criminal, a liar, and an incompetent for the office of the presidency – which carries with it the burden of nuclear war – kinda fits the definition of insane.
Lest i leave any doubt, i’m talking about THE Liar, H “I Liar” y Clinton.
Sounds like common sense to me.
U r correct sir. Perfect example King Solomon brought in gods from captured countrys worshipped. Their gods Deluted their culture
Social-izm (any-izm) is bad; crooks, liars, politico-theives with their snouts in the money-trough is worse; then explain how funding $$trillions$$ to our enemies helps the working-slob. if we-the-people recovered back some of our share he could be a self-funding prophecy
Sharon : FYI –
The Republicans have blocked any/all moves in DC! ! Hello!
Are you out of your mind?? Obama has used executive orders to further his agenda against the will of the people.
The Dinocraps escaped the asylum and ran this nation into the ground( yes they had help from Rino’s), and it started with the likes of Boxer,Feinstein, Pelosi, Reid, Brown. ..
Give us all an example of a “Move” that the Republicans blocked…..one that would enhance the world or lives of us Americans. Then, give me an example or 12 “Moves” that Harry Reid didn’t even bring up for a vote. Before stating one of your “truths” please do some research and at least sound as if you are an informed voter That is assuming you do vote.
Sheila:
If what you say is true then pray tell why we are $20,000,000,000,000,00 in debt? You people gave GW hell for a debt of four trillion and he was fighting two wars, supporting NASA, and supporting a much greater military. Now, we don’t have NASA, our military is a skeleton of what it was, and what there is, they have to go to the Junk yard to get parts, THAT IS WHY WE HAVE SO MANY MILITARY AIRCRAFT GOING DOWN and killing soldiers, and lastly Obama quit fighting the war (that is why we have terriorist here in America by the way), and we are still Four times more in debt an the liberal retards just keep spending! On top of that you have the audacity to still say it’s the Republicans fault. Well Ms Sheila………. WHY DON’T YOU GROW UP AND TRY TO GET A JOB AND GROW A BRAIN!………. FYI of course!
Sharon: FYI – You surely must have been reading the media press who can’t tell the truth if their life depending on it. Where in the world have you been for the last almost 8 years. Surely you know that Obama has used every chance he gets……….he has used “executive orders” to further his agenda to destroy this country………”executive orders’ are unconstitutional. He did not go through Congress for what he did………example: the declaration he made to this country concerning bathroom sharing between male and female is not a law……….again he did not go through Congress……….the way I understood this statement he made, this country and it’s people do not have to abide by his wishes. The executive branch of this country can not make laws……..that is what he thinks he is doing I guess. As far as Republicans blocking all moves in Washington………what moves have they blocked? I have never heard of that at all but if they did they had the right to do that. Just look at what Harry Reid (D) who was leader of the Senate last year, before the Republicans took over never allowed the Senate to do anything, when he got a bill from the House of Representatives (they are the only group that can make bills) if he didn’t like the bill he would stick it in his desk drawer and wouldn’t let the Senate vote on it. Talk about Republicans blocking everything in Washington it works both ways………Democrats are just as selfish about blocking bills as the Republicans are. This Congress, both parties, have done absolutely nothing to benefit this country and it’s people and NONE of them have not done one thing to make our country safer for it’s citizens.
Do not forget Obama had Democrats as Congress and Senate before the Republicans took that position back. What has happened over the past 7 plus years are because of both parties but mostly because of Obama.
THE RICH HAVE BEEN “FEEDING” OFF THE VANISHING MIDDLE CLASS AND POOR FOR DECADES! CORPORATE WELFARE: FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AS TAX BREAKS, LIKE GENERAL ELECTRIC, OR SUBSIDIES, LIKE THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY, GIVEN BY THE GOVERNMENT TO PROFIT – MAKING LARGE CORPORATIONS!
THE RICH ROBBING THE VANISHING MIDDLE CLASS AND POOR!!!!
I must tell you that I have skipped over your comment because of the “all caps.” Such entries give me headaches. Too bad. I am sure there are some good points in your post.
You did read it, didn’t like it, and made a strawman excuse for “not reading it.”
True
Congrats for your new, and unique, way to state what everyone knows is true. I mean no criticism or anything negative at all, so don’t take it that way. Your remark caught me off guard, and gave me a really good laugh.
…..democracy is good until they run out of money they took from other people’s money…..
Thankfully, the USA is not a democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic.
You are funny. The current system has used up the government money and the remedy has been to create more debt and just print more money . Seriously ?
Yup ! Your right .I’m a die hard republican but I hope bernie stays all in .hillary is out to kill Americans .well she out to line her pockets and if it means she has to commit fraud . Cheat lie and murder. Then she is out to kill the American people . But if I had to pick a criminally insane narcissist over a die hard socialist. I pick bernie
Good for you Bernie! No one knows what is going to happen with the investigation .
So true!!!!! Hllary for prison 2016.
AMEN!!!
And take Obama with you
I’m a Trump supporter myself. If I changed my mind in anyway. I would support Bernie Sanders. We just don’t need anymore of Obama’s radical agendas. Hillary has proven to be another 4-8 yrs of Obamas agendas. She still hasn’t answered for the Benghazi incidents or the e-mails.
I’m a Trump supporter because I feel Trump is the only candidate who will get the job done and he will not be a pushover. No one political party will control him as he is his own man. Will he have to do some compromising? Yes, but it will be to the benefit of American citizens.
Hillary will never answer the Benghazi questions because she is at fault and knows it. I can never support a Socialists because it is to much like Hitler and the Holocaust. I do believe Sanders may go Independent and we have a three party race for the WH. (SJ)
Trump compromise ?!?
Can you spell it for him ?!?
I dare say that he not only has more money then you but, he is also a much better speller……… Also Trump has a brain and that’s something most Libtards are lacking.
Amen .we Americans need a president who will not put up with any persons or a group who hates us enough to kill Americans in mass . Like obama and like a clinton .we need a president that says .ok you came over to my country and assaulted my people .I’m comming to get you .we need a president that is for America to put Americans first .who is not afraid to hurt a illegal immigrants feelings .if you feelings get hurt because we are suspensious of your intentions .then go home .and stay out of America because that’s the way it’s gonna be .not all immigrates want a fresh start and a new life in America some want to come to kill us. Don’t let them in and send there asses home and build that freaking wall already
I hope SOMETHING is done to address the lies, coverup, playing the “ignorant” card about the basement server and insecure emails. As an attorney, even Hillary is well aware that ignorance is no excuse for brewing the law.
Hang in there Bernie. Hillary may not be there when the convention starts. The FBI will recommend indite Obama will refuse to let her be tried, and the FBI will come out with all their findings and Bernie you will be the one we can get behind.
I don’t support Bernie over Trump. I do support Bernie over Hillary/Killary Clinton.
Smart Lady
I WAS a Democrat .I jumped the fence when I learned hillary was trying to squatt the whitehouse I knew her and the rigged system would not allow mr.bernie have his day in court so to speak so I went with the lessor of 2 evils so to speak again.I would love to see mr.berne be the nominee it has literally been stolen from him I maybe will crawl back over the fence if the dems get some honor and integrity at the last minute but with Obama standing next to hillary it isn’t going to happen NO WAY IN HELL will Obama give up a 3rd term.when pigs fly when he’ll freezes over over his dead body so to speak.and clinton is his girl that is going to give it to him I wonder what hillary changed in 4 yrs that Obama suddenly takes back all the things he campaigned about her it’s only been 4 yrs when he said she is unfit for the job and a lyer and a cheat have not seen anything good come from her in past 4yrs .maybe Obama couldn’t scare or bully or buy bernie to run a 3rd term so hillary is down with any price tag as long as she gets the ultimate political position in the world OH MY GOD !poor Billy she is really gonna be kicking his ass now!
No Billy will be playing with the interns.
From your lips to God’s ears!!!!
I am so very happy to hear this. I was hoping Bernie would run on Independent Ticket now that there are so many of us who
were not able to vote. We have supported to the max. What could hurt? Go for it on the Independent ticket as we do kn ow
Hilary didn’t win the nomination. No way~
GREEN PARTY or INDEPENDENT for BERNIE!
He doesn’t need the Democratic Party to get this done.
I may not agree with him but, he is 10 fold a better choice than Hillary Obama.
What could it hurt? The Democrats in the general election. Go on, Bernie. Run as an independent.
It’s a done deal already people
That’s a terrible comment, Don’t take away peoples hope. ALL of you Hillary sheep need Bernie…. But, he does NOT need you.
Yup your right.it is. case closed.I wish bernie will be the nominee. That will only happen if dems suddenly grow balls and a back none and say no more crooked stuff from the clinton/Obama gang.WHEN HELL FREEZES! And pigs fly or Obama dies suddenly.bernie was robbed by the gang and every one knows it they have no honor.no integraty.shame why do we even vote why don’t they just say hey no voting the time it wasting your time energy we want this person your opinion and votes don’t matter this is OUR nominee. See you at the general. That is what happened with out saying it .I think Bernie should be rufunded his money spent campaining against her they new they were gonna commit aggravated robbery against bernie and sick hillary clinton was there weapon of choice the rigged Democrat system should be abolished. And superpacs are rediculous why can’t it be what we all learned in kindergarten the team scores highest wins .it’s the simplest thing in the world to figure out it should be counting vote for vote if you don’t get enough votes sorry you lose.if you do CONGRATULATIONS! You did it !clintons know they can’t survive on a streight voting system
The entire Democratic Party should be FLUSHED DOWN THE TOILET. Don’t be fooled by their “we’re for the people” CRAP. They’re all a bunch of lying freeloaders and their days in politics are coming to an end.
Donald Trump in 2016. He can’t be bought and he will Make America Great Again.
I hope your right ! I agree .but the system has been perfected to fit certain gangs like obama/clinton gang.who assaulted bernie ‘s campaing.and the free world of American citizens.if people don’t get it real quick we are going to be killed by immigrants legal or not .the dems are not Americans .American citizens can’t be fooled by them and hillary and Obama love legaland illegal immigrants they have price tags hillary knows she has no support from any one who is not for sale. She can’t win any thing the kidergarten way
ride on
He might be alright if, he learns to think before he speaks.
The entire Democratic Party should be FLUSHED DOWN THE TOILET. Don’t be fooled by their “we’re for the people” CRAP. They’re all a bunch of lying freeloaders and their days in politics are coming to an end.
Donald Trump in 2016. He can’t be bought and he will Make America Great Again.
Flush the entire Clinton owned Demoncratic Party down their toilet, see how those damned no good, evil, venal, wicked, greedy, selfish,
Lying, cheating, stealing, fixing & election rigging, fraudsters, nasty, rude, mean, egotistical, snotty, bossy, bullying, rude, arrogant, racist,
Facist, bigoted, professional hypocrites, white trash Clinton’s like it? The Clinton’s have ruined & are ruining the country.
ANYONE but Hillary.
Case and Point
RUN GREEN PARTY!
get rid of the lying bitch she needs to go to job
Yup every has been begging for Hillary to be held accountable. But it won’t happen any one who launches a so to speak attack on her ends up on the body count list I can’t figure it out maybe there more dangerous than we think maybe there a new mob family and employ thousands of hit men across the county and even the leg system is afraid .idk but there is a reason they won’t charge indict or what ever the case may be
Argentina,Brazil,Venezuela…need i say more……
This “nomination” was AWARDED to Clinton with a stream of never ending tricks favoring Obama’s favorite girl so that his few accomplishments won’t be questioned or changed. I sincerely hope Bernie runs as an Independent. With 43% of the US identifying as Independent many of the primaries were closed to them. If they had been allowed to vote, AND if many ballots of the Independents who where able to vote weren’t somehow lost!!!, Bernie would have been our nominee! The congressional super delegates are aware of all the fraud and deception in this election which should make them very likely to be replaced by HONEST senators and representatives.. If Bernie runs on the Independent ticket with all those who voted for him in the primary standing behind him in the general AND you add even half of the Independents who weren’t able to vote in the primary he would win hands down. AND HE SHOULD!!! UNLESS, OF COURSE, THE GENERAL IS AS CROOKED AS THE PRIMARY! He has nothing to hide as do the team of Mr. and Mrs. Clinton!. Their numerous indiscretions were no mistakes, no matter what Hillary says! If she’s half as smart as Obama claims she is why would she make the ‘mistake” of putting a private server in her home and not hand over into evidence ALL of the emails?! Come on! Get a clue, this women is as crooked as a dog’s hind leg! I was around to try to stop NAFTA when Bill sold us down the river. Has there ever been anything that more negatively affected our country? One wonders how much they were paid for that one! Hard to believe he or Mrs. Clinton can relate to the problems of the average person, right?!
GO FOR IT BERNIE: RUN AS A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE: ON AN INDEPENDENT TICKET!!!!!
There is no way to determine what everyone in our country will believe or disbelieve….nor any way to know how any information will be based on truth or fiction ?…. I can only determine my vote and my vote will be determined on the ‘state’ of our country and history of the past …and what it is today …….my opinion is WE NEED CHANGE…..and I WILL VOTE FOR TRUMP ….We have been going down the wrong path and he can’t be worse than what we have …next time we can’t allow our country to be destroyed by STANDING BY TO WATCH….the destruction of a revolt sooner or later will come…..BE AWARE !!!!
If Bernie caves in to the DNC after they have suppressed the votes in States he should have won….
Then I with
Jill! NOT Hill
Dr. Jill Stein Green Party for President!!!
Sanders is right that it is not over yet. However, those of us who still believe in the American Dream, America as a champion of the world, as a place where we can live and grow our families, have to speak out now as the Clinton and Republican Party leaders are trying to take over this country in a Coup D’Etat.
Our forefathers gave us a legacy to be proud of. Don’t let the garbage of Clinton and people like her, despoil the rich legacy left to us and that we must nurture to pass to those following. Most of the voters voting Clinton, would vote for a ” mule and three acres” if promised. They cannot help themselves, will not avail themselves of the opportunities in this country, instead find it easier to whine and moan, refuse to get an education. Fodder for communism. Success is never guaranteed, success is EARNED.
Let us go back to the country we used to be, to the ways that made us great, hard work, an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay. Knock out the entitlements as they are an enemy of progress and slave maker.
Hillary couldn’t tell the truth if Moses, Jesus Christ and Allah all ganged up on her and taught it to her. It just goes against her grain. Obama had it right about her 8 years ago – probably the last time he told the truth. Whether it be Bengazi, the E-mail fiasco, the Middle East goings on, or her shenanigans before and during Bill’s years in the White House, she has single-handedly, and also with the help of some others, established her position as First Bitch in America. No wonder Bill had all of those mistresses. Honestly if she were half the woman she claims to be, I would have had a transgender operation years ago.
Hitlery Killery ROTTON Clinton & former Figurehead Sleazeball, draft dodger Bill Clinton believe the truth is a felony offense and the Clinton’s are allergic to the truth. The truth is the plague to them.
Bernie is right. The Democrat National Committee needs to change some of their rules. One good change would be to require a person to have been a registered Democrat for 10 years and have worked to elect Democrat candidates prior to being eligible to run for president as a Democrat.
Bernie doesn’t have anything to lose by staying in the race and making demands. Hillary Clinton has a lot to lose if this guy remains in campaign mode up to and into the Democrat National Convention.
Please dear God give Donald Trump the strength to persevere against the Clinton/Obama political mockery of this country. They are lying thieves through and through. I hope he has the Secret Service on double alert to keep him safe.
Don’t know if any of you saw the interview with Greta Van Susteren and Imam. Scary! And this guy thinks Bernie would be the best candidate. Not sure I would want someone like that backing me. Maybe he likes Sanders because he would be the least threat to the Muslims. I’m still backing Trump, as tacky as he is sometimes!
Tacky is not the word –
Psycho is the word !
I’m certainly not voting for Bernie and I’m not a democrap but I do however give that man Kudos. He’s sticking to Hillary and the party. They can’t strong arm the old codger. Keep up the Bern.
Good for Bernie Sanders, he so far haven’t given in yet. Hitlery Killery ROTTON Clinton is a disaster that has happened and will happen again if that
damned POS white trash B@&CH gets her way. The Demoncratic Party needs a major overhaul now, not on Arbor Day in the year 2068 when nearly
all of us commenting will be dead. Donald Trump is the best choice we have, then Libertarian Gary Johnson who the damned pro Clinton media and the
Clinton’s are making him look bad, then Jill Stein of the Green Party. Bernie should after the Convention in Philadelphia join the Green Party and run as a Green or run as an Independent. WAKE UP AMERICA, vote for Donald Trump or Gary Johnson or Jill Stein or Bernie Sanders, time to stop Hitlery Killery ROTTON Clinton before it’s too late. Remember the ABC’s-ANYBODY BUT CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with you. More needs to be said in the media about all of Hillary’s shady funding and favors offered. The Clinton Cash movie is due to come out soon. Also, the FBI need to go ahead and wrap up their investigation of Hillary and make a recommendation for indictment. Poor Bernie. He will not get anywhere trying to change the corrupt Democratic Party in its current state. The only way to change this system is to vote against Hillary to prevent her from getting elected. I’m with the #NeverHillary group and would never support Hillary. I plan to vote for Trump in the fall, but encourage all of those who don’t like Trump to either vote for the Libertarian or Green Party candidate, or sit out the election. Just don’t give any support to Hillary and all of her corruption.
It may be too early yet to gauge the results of Sanders’ meetings with both The Liar and D’OweBama.
It is my sincere hope that not only does he stay a thorn in The Liar’s side, but also that he follows-through with his demands that there be recounts and investigations in all of the States where he was cheated out of votes…then indictments, prosecutions, and convictions.
That said, i think that ONLY Sanders has a chance against Trump, because everyone who has at least 2 brain cells knows that The Liar only got
nominatedcoronated because of bribery, political pressure, and flat-out cheating. Because this is so, if it ends up being Trump v. Clinton, Trump will win in a landslide. OTOH, should The Liar get indicted and have to prepare for trial, the D’s would be smart to put Bernie up as the replacement candidate…but “smart” is not usually an adjective i’d use for the gimmecrats, except in an evil, socialistic/communistic OWG/NWO way.i mean, have you heard how much D’OweBamacare will cost NEXT year? You think it’s bad NOW? I believe that with Trump in the office – finally, a lawful, Constitutionally-qualified candidate, btw – that abomination, that unbearable burden, that Unconstitutional flaying of Americans will be swiftly repealed, and perhaps even some of the punitive taxation Unconstitutionally applied will be rolled back, with refunds given.
i remember one poster on here who told us he didn’t sign up for D’Owebamacare and had a health emergency; he went to the hospital, PAID the 13k+ bill HIMSELF, then got penalized by an additional outrageously high sum for not having participated in that Unlawful program. Surely this is theft, plain and simple, theft by deception, theft by coercion and the threat of force.
A vote for Sanders is a vote for an unsustainable dream, that corporations and the wealthy can be taxed so much that the middle class and poor can get stuff for free. The wealthy – and the corporate entities they run – will simply go elsewhere in the world where their tax rates are lower, as in China, currently. Then what, Sanders? Resort to the usual socialist/communist methodology? Round up and murder millions of Citizens so that the rest can survive? Barely?
Trump is the only candidate pledged to putting America first – well, i should say “mainstream” candidate, and the PtB hate him because a Trump presidency will throw a major monkey-wrench in their world-domination and control plans. THEY wanted a Clinton/Bush “race,” because whoEVER won, they’d still move forward with their agenda. Perhaps the Libertarian, Green, Constitution, and/or American party’s candidates feel the same, are as nationalistic and America-first-ic as Trump, but since CCMSM shuts them out, few even know these alternative parties even EXIST, much less what their platforms and plans might be…hence few if any will vote for any of those candidates.
i believe that Sanders is smart enough to know that if he runs as an independent candidate, he’ll throw the election to Trump – and he doesn’t want that at all. He may just take some bribe, some sop, some appointment of some kind and then drop out. Since he refused SuperPacs, it’s unlikely he’s bribe-able with money. He seems idealistic(unrealistically so, imo), so if he’s given(or promised) some sort of position in a Liar presidency where he feels he can make an objective difference – say, head of the Justice Dept. or HHS, for example – he might be persuaded to throw his support behind that criminal, that heinous liar, that felony perjurer, that traitor repeatedly engaging in treasonous acts of betrayal and infidelity.
By Friday, we should know more. i believe that at present, the Horn article is speculative, at best, perhaps even jumping the gun.
Get your own blog !!
Sheila-
Get your own blog!!
Or what?
Hard to tell whether you support my comments or are deriding them. Either way, until The Horn staff decides i’m no longer welcome, i’ll continue to post my opinions – often well-fortified by citations from those far smarter than i ever have hope of becoming – and if you don’t like it, tough!
I enjoy your input. Although lengthy at times, it keeps my mind turning. I hadn’t seen your comments lately so it’s nice to see your thoughts. Keep those thoughts coming!
Feel the “Bern”; hopefully he and his supporters will insure she doesn’t assume the Presidency.
Go – you “bald headed Socialist”,
From the article…
Sanders said he would continue to push for new leadership in the Democratic National Committee — his campaign has sparred with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the party’s chair — along with a progressive platform in the summer convention and electoral changes, such as primaries that allow independents to participate and the elimination of superdelegates.
“We need major, major changes in the Democratic Party,” he said.
Says the man who sits in the Senate as an Independent. {Rolling On the Floor Laughing My Ask Off}
Does Sen. Sanders suspect more to the FBI investigation and maybe holding on in light of possible criminal charges preventing Hillary from running in the November general election’? The foreign media seems to be reporting more than U.S. networks, especially on sensitive info eastern european hackers got from her private server while she was SecState. A real political circus this election cycle.
short and sweet….socialism is economic cannibalism. You eat your own until there is nothing left.
Like your definition about “economic cannibalism”……I liken it more to “Robin Hood” – you steal from the rich and give to the poor,.,,,.but, you, as the “government”, keep a some for yourself (more like a lot for yourself), and pass on what’s left over to the “poor”. But, just enough to keep them “quiet” and not enough to make anything better for the poor. The “economic pie” just keeps getting smaller, but you have to “buy off” the “poor” to stay in office. And, since the economy gets worse and worse as the entire motivation of your society is “what can my country do for me” (take, take, take), austerity measure are put in place, and, of course they start with the “poor” (never with the politicians). In the end, your “rich” move out of the country (so much for you “bank”), the “poor” have no place to go, and you turn into a place like Greece, Italy, Portugal, and, to some degree, France. Lots of lower-middle class people being “managed” and “mothered” by the ruling elite. And the country goes bankrupt. Finis.
Someone said they won’t vote for Trump because of what he said about the handicapped…… Folks, I don’t care what your political leanings are, but we definitely have to get out of needless “picking” about each an every candidate’s statements and what the media says they said. Way I look at it is this, unless you are Democratic and will vote for Hillary, in lock-step with all other Democrats-For-Hillary, then its not about the best person for the job but the least offensive for the job. I hate to say it that way, but can we afford to be so “picky” about any one Presidential or for that matter any particular politician we are examining. NO ! The very welfare of the United States is at stake here. PLEASE, forgive me for saying this, “Get you heads out of your sensitive a–es” and move on. The big question is who would virtually destroy this country, collect more monies from Middle Eastern Counties like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bharain, to name a few, let more consulates burning, lie about being for women/minorities/LGBTs while wearing $12,500 Armani coats to their rallies and still not produce the transcripts to Wall Street speeches. Right now, its not about whose the best but “who do you trust” to do the best for this country. Trump is a lot of things but he is NOT a politician that has been around for 35 years, and never held a job or started a business. Trump does not have a three (3) digit million “slush fund” called the Clinton Global Initiative that takes money from foreign governments, as listed above, while ostensibly being the countries foremost foreign diplomat. And, he certainly doesn’t have nearly as “murky” a past history as do the Clinton’s, going all the way back to the Arkansas State House.
Yes, I’m not 100% happy with The Donald, but I’m 1000% fearful of what Hillary Clinton would do as Commander In Chief with Bill at her side for a 3rd term. Ask yourself, just what has she done to prove she is qualified to be President? Nothing, that I know of and I’ve been on the sidelines watching since John Kennedy became President. Does Trump have the qualifications, I don’t know, but I trust him much, MUCH more than I ever could Hillary Clinton as he is the quintessential “outsider”, which in my opinion, we need at this time to shake up both parties, to their core. If you just want another tour of “the same as Obama”, then, by all means, vote for that with Hillary.
The worse threat in the coming election is Joe Biden, who would keep Obama’s corrupt appointments and continue the Islamization and socialization of the USA. Hillary has been severely degraded by the steady drip, drip, drip of leaked data from the Obama government – just enough to keep it in the news cycle. After Bernie Sanders is out here comes the indictment, there goes Hillary, and here comes Slow Joe. Bernie Sanders has been a black swan in this election cycle, but once he is gone the Obama plan will be fulfilled. GO TRUMP!!! Please elect Trump; get rid of the corrupt Obama minions.
This is what the Democrat party has come to. Bernie’s honesty and persistence are admirable traits. But he is still an avowed socialist. Hillary is anything but honest and her policies are dangerous to America. She calls herself a progressive democrat. But that is just newspeak for socialist. And as to being progressive; well that depends on what sort of progress one is looking for. Neither of them would be a good choice for President. But of the two, Bernie would be preferable to Hillary. Trump is also not the best choice that the GOP could have provided but he is still preferable to either Hillary or Bernie. Not that any of this matters because most people have already decided who they will (or will not) vote for and no amount of facts or reason is likely to change that decision.
I’m so sick of all the politicians all they do is talk and get nothing done. Most of them are full of b.s.. 15 years ago I had a conversation with my cousin about how welfare is ruining this country. He didn’t agree with me. Was I right?? 3 years ago I said to my daughter obama is going to destroy this country. Was I right?? Now Hillary wants to keep his legacy going. This Hillary is a crazy person. Did you ever hear her speak–dont know what the hell she is saying. Her votes are from all the people that are living off the fat of the land. Trump ..I believe in my heart he means and will do what he says, we need him. When he speaks he is absolutely right what he says. Some news stations should be off the air, if I was trump I would sue them for bullying. Love trump. America is going down the tube with the politicians. Does anyone know how much money immigrants get, I do.and it’s a hell of a lot more than I get. I have not had a raise in my ss for a long time. I know this is boring read the between lines. Obama is one of them
Trump makes a lot of claims. Maybe he will improve our country, and maybe he will not. But, Hillary has stated what she will do, and believe me, it will complete the ruining of our country that Obama has started.
We can’t let her have a chance at this. She is a pure Socialist. So was Adolph Hitler —- look it up.
Terrorist have been allowed to enter our country, and she wants to let more of them come here at our expense and danger.
What is happening to our people that want to support her ? Maybe there is something in the water. ????
Michael Medved claims to be a conservative, but he is constantly playing into Hillary’s hands with his negative remarks about Trump. Mr. Medved —- please keep quiet or you will help her cause. We do not need that.
