HILLARY GROUP.."Sanders campaign is making enemies with its attacks"

Surprise: New York Democrats Like the Democratic Party!And the Sanders campaign is making enemies with its attacks.

By Joan WalshTwitterTODAY 12:14 PM




When Hillary Clinton beats Senator Bernie Sanders in New York on Tuesday, which she is widely expected to do, a big part of the story will be a phenomenon I haven’t seen in the other four primary/caucus states I’ve covered this year (all of which, as it happens, Clinton has won):

Many New York Democrats do not appreciate the Sanders campaign’s attacks on their party. And they really don’t like his supporters’ disruptions at Clinton rallies.


SNIP
.."for ordinary people who consider themselves Democrats—and I’ve met a multiracial throng of avid Democrats who are home health workers, nannies, bus drivers, teachers, waiters, social workers, and museum administrators at Clinton rallies—it is part of why he will lose on Tuesday, and perhaps lose big.

I foresee that any possibility of serving as a committee chair is poofing.

And there will be some consideration of rule changes for the Democratic Party making it stricter for someone like Sanders ever hijacking the party again.

before declaring your run for the Presidency. This was plain B.S., in my opinion.

As far as Congress, he will remain as ineffective as he's ever been, probably worse. I wouldn't name him chair of anything.

he is jealous. I have thought that all along. He's a frustrated 60's radical and there aren't many left. He tried to get rich with his "writings" and when that didn't work out, he entered politics because that was easy. He could talk, talk, talk at people and get paid for it.

There will always be big $$ waving around for someone to have a crack at Hillary or the Great Solid Dem Party.

Problem is, 4 years from now, many of the young millennials today will have a new set of priorities.

Happens to every generation of new revolutionaries.
And its going to be rather difficult to give up on Hillary & the Dems by then.
She will be seen as a great MPOTUS & somehow being a radical will have lost the romance.

Also, even if they get their name on the ballot they would not be allowed access to the Party's database.

He would have MILLIONS in dark money coming in to help him along so he was on the ballot in November the same way Nader did.

The Republicans would make sure of it.

Cause it's so much easier to steal an election when there's a 3rd party candidate like Nader/Sanders on the ballot.

No, I cannot support your idea.

Not anymore, I would argue. Not after what he's said about Democrats in this primary, that's for sure.

Not this Democrat. I think that really is the key there. Regardless of who we support at this moment, those of us who have been Democrats for years, will always vote FOR the Dem candidate, even if our person loses. One need only look at 2008 for that.

Mon Apr 18, 2016, 02:09 PM

His campaign strategy of dividing and insulting Dems is not working.

He has absolutely failed to understand constituents in so many primaries. Dem voters value loyalty and service to others. Bernie demonstrates none of that. Any Dems who do not like his ideas or methods are apparently complicit in the corruption or just not bright or evolved enough to understand his greatness. That isn't how it works. He will get yet another lesson about how Dems feel about him and the sparkle pony he rode in on in NY.

He is due for another kicking.

There are more people rolling there eyes, than are angry.
The truth of your statement is about to reveal itself.

NYC /HILLARY announcing her 2016 Pres candidacy:



“I may not be the youngest candidate in the race,” said Clinton, 67. “But I will be the youngest woman President of the United States. And the first grandmother.”

"She invoked the name of President Franklin Roosevelt on the island named in his honor, speaking in Four Freedoms Park — which pays homage to FDR’s famous 1941 speech extolling the freedom of speech and worship, and the freedom from fear and want."

SHE will do very very well in NY



BUT:
Someone else will not do so well:
