Both parties need a good clearing out. Your seeing that on the Repug side.

The thing with the old Guard Democrats is they will march in lock step until the bitter end.

That is funny since HIS Justice Department will indicting her. If he does not, the GOP can impeach Barack for tampering with the investigation.

Not putting any money on it. As a matter of fact expect an outgoing across the board pardon if it doesn't get resolved before the election and Hildabeast McButter Pants doesn't win.

I don't think they are sweating the caucuses too much. There is a limited amount they can do anyway, because the nature of a caucus is so limited on who can attend. I live in a neighborhood with many, many families with young kids and only 2 of my neighbors were able to make it to our caucus. Doesn't mean people don't have an opinion but they just don't have the ability to devote 3 hours of time to caucusing, which is just about what it took once you factor in having to get there early and find parking, since attendance was high. The people who can attend a caucus tend to be a closer fit to Bernie's demographics. But there are no caucuses in November, so it's not a longer term concern.
386 delegates are at stake for the next 9 contests (6 caucuses, results from Democrats Abroad, and Arizona and Wisconsin primaries). If people think Hillary will be the nominee, they might not vote and she might end up only getting 1/3 of the 386 delegates which will revive huge momentum for Sanders

So he should stop giving the Republicans any ammunition that would weaken her chances in the general election. He risks marginalizing himself within the Democratic party if he doesn't - and regardless of whether he is a Democrat or an Independent, he is still a part of the Democratic party in terms of his role in the Senate.
I know your a Hillary supporter, but can even you admit he has run a pretty fair campaign? He could have brought up many things against her and didn't instead focusing on policy differences. Other than policies how has he been negative?

The donors MUST be asking Barack "Why should I give her money? Are you not going to indict?". Either he is lying to them, or he is pre-judging the FBI recommendations which he has not even seen yet.

Is it possible to pardon somebody before they are found guilty and sentenced? Perhaps that is just an unwritten part of being handed the key to the city (or in this case; the Country).

Well, any campaign that includes stealing another campaign's data has crossed the line of running a fair campaign. So there's that. Plus the lies about his own endorsements and record (claiming he helped write the Affordable Care Act for instance).

And yes, I think there are other things that he has been negative about including making misleading if not outright false statements about Hillary's positions and record.

I will say that it is all tame in comparison with the freak show on the other side, but doesn't mean he's nearly as pure as he claims he is.
