    Trails by 7 points nationally.

    And for those of you not paying attention, he out paced his polling in the first two states by 5%.

    So trailing by 7 pts is a deadlock moral victory? Cool story.

    Almost as cool of a story as NOGAF about Nevada and their 1.5 delegates.

    In 2008 just like now she must feel like she's taking crazy pills because she doesn't understand what's wrong with everyone

    At least she's been a prominent figure within her party. This old freak show Bernie is a complete deadbeat fraud. He's never had a real job and has succeeded at nothing.

    "He explained his family couldn’t imagine his “success,” because “my brother and I and Mom and Dad grew up in a three-and-a-half-room rent-controlled apartment in Brooklyn, and we never had a whole lot of money.”

    It wasn’t as bad as he says. His family managed to send him to the University of Chicago. Despite a prestigious degree, however, Sanders failed to earn a living, even as an adult. It took him 40 years to collect his first steady paycheck — and it was a government check.

    “I never had any money my entire life,” Sanders told Vermont public TV in 1985, after settling into his first real job as mayor of Burlington.

    Sanders spent most of his life as an angry radical and agitator who never accomplished much of anything. And yet now he thinks he deserves the power to run your life and your finances — “We will raise taxes;” he confirmed Monday, “yes, we will.”

    One of his first jobs was registering people for food stamps, and it was all downhill from there.

    Sanders took his first bride to live in a maple sugar shack with a dirt floor, and she soon left him. Penniless, he went on unemployment. Then he had a child out of wedlock. Desperate, he tried carpentry but could barely sink a nail. “He was a shi**y carpenter,” a friend told Politico Magazine. “His carpentry was not going to support him, and didn’t.”

    Then he tried his hand freelancing for leftist rags, writing about “masturbation and rape” and other crudities for $50 a story. He drove around in a rusted-out, Bondo-covered VW bug with no working windshield wipers. Friends said he was “always poor” and his “electricity was turned off a lot.” They described him as a slob who kept a messy apartment — and this is what his friends had to say about him.

    The only thing he was good at was talking … non-stop … about socialism and how the rich were ripping everybody off. “The whole quality of life in America is based on greed,” the bitter layabout said. “I believe in the redistribution of wealth in this nation.”

    So he tried politics, starting his own socialist party. Four times he ran for Vermont public office, and four times he lost — badly. He never attracted more than single-digit support — even in the People’s Republic of Vermont. In his 1971 bid for U.S. Senate, the local press said the 30-year-old “Sanders describes himself as a carpenter who has worked with ‘disturbed children.’ ” In other words, a real winner.

    He finally wormed his way into the Senate in 2006, where he still ranks as one of the poorest members of Congress. Save for a municipal pension, Sanders lists no assets in his name. All the assets provided in his financial disclosure form are his second wife’s. He does, however, have as much as $65,000 in credit-card debt."
    Oh Stop.

    He's a total outsider whose goal is to reform the system to help the little guy.

    Nevermind that He's been schlepping in Congress a bumfuck NE for the last 30 years.

    He's an outsider damnit!!!

    Bush lied and people died! is a much bigger issue among the democratic base. Which is why I am mystified that Trump is using it but that's another post.

    Bush didn't lie, that is cover for the numerous democrats who voted for the war like Hilary. Bill said a bunch of times that Iraq had WMDs yadda yadda yadda.

    Anyway, Hilary has had to face Senators that voted against in 08 and this year. That is a big problem in the primaries along with her complete lack of any human characteristics.

    Hilary looked at the evidence and thought it was worth going to war. Sanders didn't. It had nothing to do with lies or being fooled. In fact running on a platform of saying W fooled your stupid ass isn't all that great either.

    Hilary took the politically expedient route as is her nature and voted to authorize force, which was a massive miscalculation. Yes, we're? still paying for it, and we will be paying for that fuck up for years to come. If you can't see that the Bushies were raring to go in Iraq, evidence be damned, then I can't help you.
    That's 2 different issues. I was raring to go too but not for no reason

    She should be held accountable for Syria and Libya. Great job there
    If we were so interested in democracy promotion perhaps it would've been a good idea to ensure that rebuilding went smoothly, rather than shock therapy intended to hinder all but the largest, most well financed multinationals.

    Like you said, Syria and Libya are two different issues.
    You mean like the Germany game? :wink:
