WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY?????

But really, what the hell ails people that they are willing to not just accept this paradigm, but actually encourage it???

I may have to toss another donation to Bernie just to climb down from my elevated-irate mode...

I will never understand those 'murricans.

ready to speak, but just a few minutes ago on CNN--even before he even spoke at his rally--Kasich said that he would strike a Grand Bargain when he's elected.

(His way of expressing it was: I'll balance the budget, cut taxes, and secure Social Security.)

This has been a wild race on both sides.

For almost two (maybe three) months, the chatter on the reporters' channel has been that since Rubio's sinking, and they are more afraid of Cruz, than even Trump (but of course don't want Trump), 'the Establishment' is backing Kasich.

Seems like these national reporters knew what they were talking about.

As Chairman of the House Budget Committee, it was he, Gingrich, and Bill Clinton who pulled off beginning to dismantle the Social Safety Net by ending the long time New Deal welfare program, AFDC, which keep many of the nation's poor, fed with a roof over their heads; 'reforming' SSDI, etc. (Replaced AFDC with a grant program to the states, TANF, which has all but ended the program in many red states.)

In spite of this, Kasich constantly boasts that a quarter of Ohio African Americans cast votes for him his last run. I don't get it. How is it that much of the Dem Base is so easily propaganized? He has a well-documented record for his years in Congress.

He was Clinton on 'steroids.'

*Sigh*

Sorta like Rahm carried ten of the Chicago precincts with the highest percentage of minorities, to sail to a second term. I suppose it's a reflection of the handiwork of Pastors in the Black Misleadership Class. Dunno. But, if their influence cannot be broken, it will be almost impossible to move the Party to the left (to any meaningful degree, I'm afraid).

Oh, Kasich just said that "he will go to Washington with a 'shock and awe' agenda, that he can pass."

Great! That's all we need!

I thought he was bad, until FSC came on 'squalling' to the top of her lungs. I can't imagine listening to her for 4 or 8 years!

We're going to eat a bite while the returns come in, so I'll check back after everyone knows the score. (I haven't heard results except Florida, Ohio, 'cause we're playing catch up.)

Hey, have a good evening, All.

My husband (Roger) and I have been Sanders volunteers since July. We live in Chicago, IL. I work full time, but Roger is retired, and we agreed last July that Roger would be our full-time Bernie Sanders volunteer. So, he has been working with the headquarters office doing whatever he can. I have done some phone banking, held debate-watch parties, etc.

Tonight the headquarters set-up an event to watch the returns at a local restaurant. Roger and I went to watch with folks we had worked with on the campaign. There were four TVs on all tuned to MSNBC. Then the Ohio primary was called for Hillary Clinton, and later she came on MSNBC to give her victory speech. I do not watch MSNBC, and I certainly have no interest in listening to anything Hillary Clinton has to say.

I asked Roger to drive me home, because they were going to keep the TVs turned to MSNBC. I'm at home now, reading Caucus99%, writing this comment, and giving myself permission to say that I will either voting for Bernie Sanders as the presidential nominee or I will be voting for Jill Stein. I learned that in Illinois you cannot write in for President.

I wonder if McCaskill -- she of the hammer and sickle innuendo -- will have second thoughts about what she's done.

I can't vote for another Clinton....been there done that. We had to save his ass last time while he lied to our faces and sold pardons on the side. God only knows what they will sell this time.

Voting in Cook County. My family used to work for the city back in the day(back when people in the cemetery cast votes). I am sure they are not as good as they used to be......or let's hope not.

Listen up Bernie Supporters, get a grip!

Remember what we've been saying for WEEKS? This is Hillary's LAST GOOD DAY.

But then we won Michigan, and honestly, I think we let it get to our heads. We got overconfident and we invested a lot of emotion into tonight.

Originally, Bernie was not supposed to do well this day.

It is AFTER THIS DAY, that Bernie is going to excel. We've known this, we have the data to prove it. All we had for tonight was the positive high of pulling off Michigan's upset.

So for the love of Bernie, PULL IT TOGETHER. This was expected for weeks. Don't let Michigan's win distort your reality.

We're still climbing and she's still falling. That reality hasn't changed. Stay the course.

Now snap out of it. We're fine.

That's how I remember the strategy.

Did something change?

50.5% compared to 48.7% for Bernie. 93.5% of precincts reporting.

Missouri is extremely close. Clinton leading by 0.2%

Still no winner declared, with 100 percent of Missouri precincts reporting. Really it's a tie.

Corporate media bias all too obvious. Bernie’s speech ignored by all channels - they were waiting for Trump!
