Yeah, me too.

But I voted for Bernie anyway.

Confident that the nomination will be awarded to her by DNC...

"I care deeply about the state. I'm proud of the work I did with so many of New Yorkers" I bet most New Yorkers disagree.

And? Bernie claims every day that he's confident HE'LL be the nominee and he's far behind.


Alert the media.

That's true, and there's even an element of misogyny in the media coverage, as was the case also in 2008.

I agree. The media cannot stop talking about his latest victories. Of course, the media always focuses on the current winner, especially on the underdog. However, I rarely see anything that's positive about Hillary these days. I guess now that Trump is losing a little steam, they need to spend more time on another "revolutionary" for ratings.

Still, as I've always said, if Bernie wins by the popular vote, then I will support him over someone like Cruz or Trump.

Bernie raises his voice and wags his figure all the time. When Hillary does it she's "lost her cool." (ex: her response to the Greenpeace activist)

Hillary could throw a big punch to Sanders, if only she'd adopt his idea of universal health care, or her original ideas for health care back in the mid-90's. Even her daughter Chelsea was found criticizing Obamacare.

Hillary knows it as well, what a disaster it is, but she's afraid to denounce it as she's awaiting Obama's endorsement!

Single payer is not synonymous with Universal health care. And many other countries with Universal health care continue to have a private insurance market, which is what the ACA provides. I'd like to see a public option added to the ACA and then the market will decide if it were works better than private carriers. But it wasn't politically possible at the time and won't be unless Congress turns blue. Single payer is just a pipe dream given a Congress that is still passing bills to overturn the ACA.

Not embarrassing at all if you are in the political field and have followed her closely

If you support Hillary Clinton and the Third way you are the one who is the Republican in Democrat's clothing..... New Democrats are Republicans who hijacked the democratic party when Bill Clinton was elected.

I see it more as Bernie's general demeanor is that of a loud Brooklyn Jew who yells instead of talks, it who he is and it's harmless yelling.

Hillary Clinton was legitimately angry.

I never thought I would see the day in my lifetime that the democrats would go socialist but I think I'm witnessing it now. Hillary is in deep deep trouble.

Bernie doesn't have a fully functioning brain but hey, the folks voting for him apparently don't either. It's a match made in heaven I guess.

The only good coming out of this situation, as I have already mentioned, is:

a) I'm close to retirement so the freebies they give away will benefit me.
b) I won't have to pay for their drunkin spending spree
c) They I'll have tons of low paying free trade jobs so they can work extra hours to pay for it.

There are definitely perks with Brainless Bernie.
