I have never heard them call themselves "leftist" though.  :hmm:

That would be a curse word for some of the constituencies they aim at.

They are not leftists. They are centrists. Sell outs. Representatives of the Neo-Liberal establishment.

I always have a hard time deciding whether your Clinton hate is serious or ironic.  :hmm:

Well, I think hosting or attending a dinner with such a price tag per seat is obscene.

Marty! Man of the common people!

It is a fundraiser. You are not really paying for the meal.

Holy crap though. Sanders is winning big with those pinko traitors in Alaska and Washington. Fuck you Northwest commies.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

America still stands with Hillary. California, Pennsylvania and New York will put this red traitor to bed.
Winner of THE grumbler point.

Apparently all of 500 people participated in Alaska. :D

Not a big deal.  These are small states with small delegate counts.  Sanders slightly narrows his gap with Hillary, but the gap is still large.

Berniebots think Bernie will landslide California and New York. I could see him breaking even or close to even with Hillary but I doubt we'll see any major landslides in those states.

If Bernie Sanders is the nominee for the Democrats, all Hillary supporters must unite behind Donald Trump. We cannot afford socialism.

I doubt Sanders will win landslides in those states.  That's not consistent with what I have read elsewhere. 

Even if Sanders pulls close to Hillary, the superdelegates will ensure that Hillary wins.  Unless Sanders leads Hillary by big margins in the delegate count, I don't see this changing. 

As much as I detest Sanders, Trump is even worse.

You're just saying that because he is going to stop all the free handouts to China. No more lucrative trade that destroys US businesses.

Other than that, I agree. I think its possible Sanders can "win" California, etc but I don't think he'll landslide.

Yes, free trade is an important topic to me, and that's one of the reasons why I dislike Trump.  There is however a very long list of reasons why I think Trump is unfit to serve as the US president.

The problem Sanders has is that, using the last RCP polls, he is down 7 in California, 25 in Pennsylvania, and 48 in New York. Those 3 states have 247, 189, and 475 pledged delegates respectively. By contrast, the three states that voted yesterday have a combined 142 pledged delegates.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)
