Wow, I love Bernie Sanders. First off, he can do the Math and explain the numbers in their meaning better than any pundit or media person. He just comes down to the bones and knuckles and knows what the number facts are.

Second off, he clearly has shown how the Super Delegates are allowed to manipulate the vote of the people by means of their pledges, some of them have made before Sanders even started his campaign. Who do they think they are? An empress' club member, to which you have to pay your membership fees upfront for good to be accepted and stay in power?

So, to me it would only make sense, to not only HOPING that the Super Delegate turn inside themselves and consider what they are doing in pre-determining the outcome of the elections against their constituents vote, but sternly demand them to be fair to the people, they are representing.

I think activists should organize to "hold the feet of their state's super delegates" to the fire. The differences between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are deep and wide enough, that the vote of the people should not only be considered, but demanded. Fighting against the whole Super Delegate business in these elections, but all future upcoming election should become a moral mandate to all voters. It's an outlandish election feature and whatever the reason your Forefathers had to implement this system, it's time to throw it out. This is dinosaurish democracy.

Down with the establishment Super Delegates. That would definitely my slogan.

And yes, Sanders is a great thinker, a straight forward talker and not willing to let himself being manipulated. Thank God. So help him make your state's Super Delegates, who are by no means "Super" but rather bought and bribed and have sold out their ethical conscience, get a spine and a moral conscience.

Sigh, why do I always seem more upset about certain things as most of you?

He was, indeed, on fire. He made great sense, obviously has plans to win this race one way or another.
It was especially sweet how he turned back the question about whether or not he was helping Trump hone his attack against Hillary.
His legacy question made me jump out of my chair and whoop!
It is great to have you here.

I've read exactly four reasons her supporters give to vote for Hill: 1. She's a wooooman. 2. Equal Pay - Lily Ledbetter 3. Children, CHIP. 4. Her critics have been lying about her for thirty years. All that "stuff" is drummed up by witch-hunting Republicans. At least they got that one right, the part about the witch.

After reading smear after smear about Bernie on the WaPo and elsewhere, by the very same trolls or supporters (hard to tell) who insist that Bernistas HAVE to vote for Hillary or we're doomed, I've concluded that they are a rather nasty, entitled, bunch of red-meat-for-breakfast capitalists who are proud that their gal has the balls to kill foreigners and get $millions from corporations. They are so smug and closed-minded, they don't even know that hurling insults will get them zero.

I would have hated to miss this.

In between the lines I heard him say, "Don't you dare quit on me!"

Trump would make mincemeat out of Hillary. He knows all of her sins. Every last one of them. And he will use this knowledge in the most effective way possible.

I still suspect that the Republicans have a video of one of Hillary's Wall Street speeches.

I also suspect they have evidence that she traded favors while SOS for large donations to the Clinton Foundation.

And I suspect they can show that she is comingling gifts from foreign countries with her own campaign funds. All they need is a few good forensic accountants and not all of these guys work for the FBI. They will work for money and the Reps would pay good money for that information and evidence.

Besides laying out a cogent argument for his continuing candidancy and eventual nomination, I was really struck by the non-verbal aspects of this press conference. I have sound issues (I'm hypersensitive) and can't listen to audio, so rely on closed captioning. Watching Bernie's whole physical stance -- his demeanor, his focus, his intensity -- I'd say this was a performance of someone who's determined, dedicated, and about as far from throwing in the towel as is possible. In fact, it struck me as being quite presidential. . . . As someone above noted, it's quite possible this was designed, in part, as a "don't give up on me" performance for wavering supporters. If that's true, I think it's genuinely convincing and very encouraging. I hope any and all supporters whose fervor may be flagging as the last primaries play out get a chance to see it.

Thanks so much for posting it here!

and let them know that you vote and that you expect them to represent you.
