Actually, @StormfrontFL ; Bernie Sanders happens to be in the Senate representing Vermont, the last time I checked, He will be a senator from Vermont for another couple of years at least.
If you'd care to peruse his wiki page, I'm sure you will be impressed how long he's actually "been around".
Boobs do you make a point of always just being a little behind?

I guess since my post wasn't one of total praise and worship for him you assume that means I'm clueless about him.

Try reading the posts above yours again and try to comprehend them.

Bernie Sander's will still be the Senator from Vermont during the next 2 years, no matter who's President..( tRump will still be a billionaire and Hillary will still be an entrepreneur)
I was replying to your concerns.." Iwant him to stick around so that he can influence the direction of the Party. Many of his ideas are sound and I wouldn't want them to just disappear and not be discussed or considered."

Bernie Supporters should just join Hillary or Donald Trump, because Bernie Sanders has no chance of winning.
Educate yourself and you'll find that most Bernie supporters have less in common with tRump. They favor the whole while tRump only cares for a select few

Bernie has more of a voice and his message is spread by staying within the Party than retreating to the Independent camp once again. His ideas are the same ones he's expressed for years but only now is his message being spread.

It doesn't matter what you supporters of old man Bernie Sanders think, Donald Trump Is going to be the next president whether you like it or not, so it's time to accept that.
I've had my fun but it's easily apparent you are only here to troll. Perhaps your time would be better spent learning ANYTHING?

Bernie requested a recanvassing of Kentucky with one delegate at stake. Hillary has been declared the winner of Kentucky today. Bernie lost that delegate, along with a little more of his dignity...

That delegate was worth the review of the voting totals... one delegate is not going to make a difference.

Lost his dignity? Requesting a re-canvass isn't at all undignified, it's pretty much normal day to day-ins-and-outs of elections and is a quick and easy way to make sure that every vote was counted properly, without the hassle of a full recount.

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-system-isnt-rigged-against-sanders/

I found this article on Nate Silver's 538 politics site a few minutes ago and while it is somewhat lengthy, some here may find it informative. Funny how facts have a way of getting in the way...

It's an out and out "hit-piece" and spends the entire time responding to strawman arguments set up by Nate Silver himself.

"A week ago, New York Daily News columnist and Bernie Sanders supporter Shaun King tweeted the following:

"Washington State has 7.2 million people. @BernieSanders won 71% of the votes. NONE of those votes count in the "popular vote totals"
.

Whether King intended it or not, he implied that caucuses — which often require hours of participation and mean lower turnout — are representative of what would happen if a larger electorate had its say.

That seems like a bizarre interpretation of King's tweet... to be honest... King's tweet seemed more emotional than it made sense. I'm sort of puzzled at what King actually was trying to say. It seemed like an exasperated Tweet from a frustrated Bernie supporter.

I don't know what King was saying but he doesn't speak for all Bernie supporters and.... honestly, he is a TINY bit player among Bernie supporters. As a Bernie supporter from the earliest days of his campaign, we are all thankful for anyone who wants to support Bernie through their efforts writing articles, blogs, tweets etc.

But... our supporters are only human and make mistakes from time to time. Has King proved himself at this point in time to be more of a liability than a supporter? Absolutely. Should Bernie supporters get so confused and wrapped up in their frustration that they make glaring mistakes in public via Twitter or Facebook? NOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Bottom line is, King is a columnist but he doesn't speak for the Bernie campaign and he certainly doesn't speak for Bernie's supporters as some sort of surrogate. He has his Bernie following on Twitter and has a high profile because of his position as a columnist, but he is NOBODY within the campaign. who the fuck is Shaun King? I've never fucking heard of him and I have been with the Bernie campaign since BEFORE he ever started running for president.

Shaun does more damage than he helps the campaign and he needs to shut the fuck up plain and simple. Shaun is unwittingly playing into Silver's hands and he is effectively sabotaging the campaign with his frustrated Tweets.

He should be thrown right under the bus, but that's not our style... and so he gets to run around while digging deeper holes.

Stick to writing articles Shaun and stay the hell off of Twitter for a while. His Tweet was so convoluted and confusing that it could probably be interpreted many different ways... I can't even understand what the hell he was getting at.

As Sanders fans claim that the Democratic primary system is rigged against their candidate and that Sanders wins when turnout is higher, they fail to point out that Sanders has benefited tremendously from low-turnout caucuses.

Woah, woah WOAH!!!!!!

Sanders "fans" claim that the system of: the media, the leadership of the DNC & corporate donations via Citizens United are part of a rigged process stacked against Bernie Sanders. The Sanders "fans" have NEVER complained that the "primary system" is rigged. There have been tomfoolery within the individual election committees and precincts but the primary system hasn't been the target of our ire.

Open primaries would strengthen the individual parties to appeal more to independents and swing voters and take the primary system into a more inclusive rather than exclusive direction. This would be good for the country and both parties in a patriotic as well as practical sense. That's it... we've never complained about the primary system although if you ask me, the front loading of the Southern States in the DNC primary season is a stupid idea... the state should randomly be selected. This is what I hear most from bernie supporters from within his campaign.

Notice the lack of a quote or citation sourcing the Sanders "fans" statements... Nate Silver fucking made them up or cherry picked them from Twitter to support his strawman.

Sanders fans have claimed that because caucuses have lower turnout the current national caucus and primary vote underrates how well Sanders is doing. Sanders supporters have consistently cited closed contests as evidence the game is rigged.

Again, no quote and no citation... a game of hearsay and "he said this" and "he said that"... which is SHODDY fucking journalism... I wouldn't even call it journalism. It wouldn't even make it past a high school newspaper's editor's desk.

The Sanders campaign does believe that it might have had a somewhat better chance with open primaries... open primaries have many benefits and more closely resembles a true democracy. There are many benefits to open primaries to both parties... there are more arguments in favor of open primaries than against them... this is not in dispute.

Silver then goes on to show how Hillary would have an even bigger lead with open primaries through the use of an unseen and proprietary statistical "model". Since Silver can't even produce a blog article that would pass the approval of a high school newspaper's editor, I can only think that his zeal and zest to support the hillary campaign makes him completely biased.

In other words, his statistical model needs to be presented for scrutiny and inspection... I don't buy it. He's not an impartial arbiter, he's an extension of the Hillary Clinton campaign. The whole article is based on bullshit.

But he's going to lose...

And you should be happy about that because he was predicted to CREAM and DESTROY your candidate by every fucking poll known to man. The Hillary supporters picked the weaker candidate and shoved him down the DNC's throat... you should be JUMPING UP AND DOWN. Is that why you've fucking annoyingly typed the same post over and over again? Or are you some sort of paid Trump shill deliberately trying to piss on the Bernie thread? You better thank your lucky stars that Bernie lost the primary, he would have wiped his ass with Trump.

Actually, he's caucused with democrats for years as an independent. He's the longest serving independent in congressional history. His message is being spread because he is playing by the rules of the system. The DNC & RNC get together every four years as "The Commission on Presidential Debates" , an Establishment clique, formed in 1987, along with the Coropate main stream media which guarantee's only their parties candidates get to debate.

He may have been known in the halls of Congress but to your average American he was almost unheard of. He now has the platform so he should use it.
