Bernie would've won if he had made in roads among African-Americans. The fact remains, though, that he didn't, and they overwhelmingly supported Hillary.

Bernie wasn't cheated, and the powers that be didn't force him to lose. Instead, he never earned support from one of the DNCs biggest constituencies.

Maybe the Bernie Bros should spend more time addressing that and less time bashing Clinton as some centrist banker that gave us Trump.

Show me the open or mixed primary states that Bernie won. I see 2 - Vermont/NH (duh) and his Michigan shocker. That's it by my count.

ND, polls about Bernie vs Trump are meaningless. Nobody campaigned against Sanders including Hillary herself as she tried to keep his supporters in the fold (and like 1M of them still ended up voting for Trump :rolleyes:). What would Sanders poll numbers have been after Trump ripped him to shreds as a doddering old man out of central casting from the 1960's? Recall as well Sanders was terrible in interviews when asked to defend his proposals.
It's more than those two states and as to your second paragraph, yeah you have nothing.
 
Could he try to issue an executive order? I would expect something unconventional.

I know you're trolling, and still doing so poorly, but to provide a serious answer nonetheless...

The executive end around is to have the Treasury mint a $100 billion coin and immediately deposit it in the accounts of the United States. There's a loophole in that Congress has to authorize minting of coins of certain metals, but not others, so you just pick a metal that's not on the Congressional approval list.

Of course, then you're dealing with massive inflation instead of defaulting on the debt, so in the end you're just as bad if not worse off.

Joe Biden
Corey Booker
Sherrod Brown
Julián Castro
Andrew Cuomo
Al Franken
Kirsten Gillibrand
Kamala Harris
John Hickenlooper
Amy Klobuchar
Ed Markey
Jeff Merkley
Chris Murphy
Gavin Newsom
Jack Reed
Elizabeth Warren

Joe Biden? Seriously the dude is 120 years old.
Corey Booker is not ready for prime time IMHO plus it will only further the divide the country. Plus half the party will hate him for his stance on Prescription Drugs.
Julian Castro...please.
Andrew Cuomo is alright.
I wont comment on the women because I dont need to hear more of your denial of misogyny on the Left.
Gavin Newsom isnt running so it isnt worth discussing. (unless he is convinced not to run for Governor of Cali)
The rest I havent heard of so I cant comment. If they are coastal types though you can kiss the midwest goodbye they are done with Coastal Elites.

He did amongst the younger ones the problem is the democratic primary skews way older. So the gap in the general likely isn't as considerable as it was in the primaries.
(just like they said Hillary would trounce Trump)
Except they didn't.

Yeah but...like...he would have killed Trump! Polls said so and such. (just like they said Hillary would trounce Trump) Facts dont matter man it is so clear! You can believe anything you want if you just ignore reality :D

You haven't heard of Franken?!?!

Then that's on young people for being entitled brats who would rather pitch a fit on Snapchat than get out and vote.

The fact remains that the GOP is far better at rallying around their nominee, good or bad. The Dems have to fall in love, or they just don't bother showing up. That's not Hillary's fault, and it's not the fault of the primary voters, either. It's solely the fault of people who don't vote or vote third party as a protest. Fark them and the high horses they rode in on.

Hold Carousel at all the NFL stadiums each New Year's Day and televise it. 3 million people a year / 32 venues = 94 thousand each. Perfect.

31. Unless you're doing a twin kill at MetLife Stadium.

For clarity's sake, the polls never showed a trouncing. They showed Hillary winning many states by narrow margins, which most people interpreted as a trouncing.

Well in NY that might not even have been possible for a lot of them like I said. I don't know what other states require you to register a year in advance to vote but I doubt it's the only state that has such a rule.

Good news everyone. Paul Ryan is going to tie the Border Wall to any DACA legislation in the House. You know, the wall Mexico is paying for.
 
Re: POTUS 45.18 - Who Run Derpertown? McMasterBlaster Run Derpertown.

Oh, man.

During a meeting with congressional leaders at the White House on Wednesday, President Donald Trump backed a proposal from Democrats to tie aid for Hurricane Harvey to a three-month debt limit increase and a short-term government funding bill through December – much to the reported consternation of congressional Republicans.

LOL.
 
Re: POTUS 45.18 - Who Run Derpertown? McMasterBlaster Run Derpertown.

Who could have predicted that!? People who think he is some sort of hardcore conservative are completely insane.

That's not it at all. He just doesn't have any understanding of... anything.

It's bookends with his tweet this morning cutting his own balls off on DACA. First he reads Congress the riot act and gives them a 6 month timer... and the next day he undercuts himself and takes the pressure off them. So he maximizes his and the GOP's political damage but then also removes any possible advantage for having done it in order to gain leverage.

He's an infant incapable of tying his own shoes attempting to play death chess against an entire city of people with PhDs in real politik. And he's so dumb he doesn't even know it.

Yes, but he doesn't have email issues. So, there's that.

I don't think he is as dumb as you and others are led to believe. I get the impression it is more a combination of laziness and just not caring. With both DACA and the debt ceiling he is taking the path of least resistance. It seems he doesn't really care either way about both issues.

It would have been interesting to see what he would have been like as president 25 years ago. Not that he was ever an intellectual heavyweight but there must have been a day when he was more motivated and engaged.
