    He was told to endorse Hildabeast or lose his US senate committee position.

    The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.

    I doubt that.

    They are in no position to play hardball with Sanders. If they threatened him, he would just run as a third party candidate, and guess what? None of those people would have any say in committee positions since they would lose all power.

    That sounds like one of those conjectures people make with a voice of authority, but no evidence.

    What’s the source?

    And, btw, Hildabeast? Just really has that 3rd grade playground taunting feel to it, ya know?

    Heard it on the radio. It is very plausible but only Bernie knows. He had the green light from Stein for the Green Party ticket and I suspect he could have made the 15% requirement between the Greens and his crossover democrat support. That would have put him in the presidential debates. He had to have known that. He bailed in the most nonsensical way given his campaign for the nomination. His supporters have every right to be super pissed. Unless you think he received something much more?

    Yes it is 3rd grade playground taunting even though she deserves worse. Besides it is working for Trump as most all the recent polls show. So given all the unsubstantiated crap you and others post here about Trump will be a disaster etc. it is quite tame.

    just continuing the thread topic with a different take

    .

    91% Of Bernie Sanders Backers Support Hillary Clinton

    According to a new CNN poll 91% of Bernie Sanders supporters are now backing Hillary Clinton.

    Republican Dreams Shattered As 91% Of Bernie Sanders Backers Support Hillary Clinton

    The Democratic convention achieved one of its biggest goals as according to a new CNN poll 91% of Bernie Sanders supporters are now backing Hillary Clinton.

    Here are the numbers from the CNN poll:

    Non-white voters (CNN):

    Clinton fave: 61/32
    Trump fave: 9/88 !
    2-way: HRC 83%, Trump 12%
    4-way: HRC 72%, Johnson 8%, Stein 8%, Trump 7% !

    If the choice for Sanders supporters is between Clinton and Trump, they are going to overwhelmingly support Clinton. The Green Party’s Jill Stein faces an uphill battle to get on the ballot in all 50 states, while Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson will be on the ballot in every state. What is stunning is how poorly Donald Trump does with Sanders supporters.

    Trump had a lower favorability rating than Clinton and he trailed both the Green and Libertarian parties in popularity with the Sanders supporters. Donald Trump has a 5% favorable rating with those who backed Sen. Sanders. Trump only receives 3% support from the Sanders supporters.

    Donald Trump continues to claim that millions of Bernie Sanders supporters are going to vote for him, but the reality is that the vast majority of those who voted Sanders are supporting Clinton in November. The Democratic convention was a success in terms of unifying the party. The Bernie Sanders supporters are finding their way into the Democratic Party.

    Some Sanders supporters will end up casting their ballots for Johnson or Stein, but the Republican dream that they are going to vote for Donald Trump has been shattered.

    Bernie Sanders supporters loathe Donald Trump, and judging from the results of this poll; there is no way that they would ever support the Republican nominee under any circumstances.

    Republicans are running out of options with Trump, but one thing is clear, the supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders will not be putting bigoted billionaire into the White House in November.

    Mainstream view IMO. The DNC didn’t “unite” the party as much as keep the divisiveness down in the pragmatic name of winning the upcoming election.

    I do not foresee a future left/mainstream Dem coalition AFTER the election.

    And yet Trump will win.
