JUST IN: @HillaryClinton brought in $15m in January, plus $5m for other Dems. (Sanders: $20m, $0.)

I have not found an article to go with this tweet.

Revolution, my arse.

All those rainbow-farting unicorns are never going to see the light of day.

I wonder how many singular people have donated $3000 to $5000 to him like in 2015. And I wonder how many of them are Republican operatives.

And his fans will swoon all the while he keeps the millions he's raised to himself...and then wonder why no Dems want to support him.

I believe that at this point, Bernie is well aware that he won't win the nomination. The numbers don't favor him. And able to do math, he is now trying his damnedest to get as much cash as he possibly can. I'm beginning to believe he's seen the writing on the wall and he wants to make out like a bandit before he's relegated to the dustbin of history as just another "I ran, too!".

As I've said from the beginning...Bernie is in it for Bernie. The way he's conducted himself throughout his life tells me all he cares about is himself, and by not supporting down-ticket Democrats now - for the second time in a row, btw - he's showing us he hasn't changed one whit.

I mean, the first time he voted he voted for himself! Yet now he has Millennials, those voting for the first time, vote for him?? Do they even know any of this? Do they know that he only appears to care about himself and that it has always been all about Bernie and nobody else?

It never ceases to astound me how seemingly intelligent people in this country can fall for snake oil. Then again, this is the country that's bred the likes of Jim Jones, David Koresh, Marshall Applewhite of Heaven's Gate, and mega-temples and millionaire hate-peddlers as somehow being "christian" and "godly".

You have to BELIEVE...

Me? I'll stick to the real world. Always have, always will.

for that numbskull?! People really had to suspend all disbelief, all skepticism, and all common sense in order to get behind someone like him.

But then again, you and I both are now underestimating the power of propaganda.

Our press and all U.S. news sources are nothing more than glorified clarions for libertarian millionaires and billionaires who have the power to place a single call to press editors and tell them what to print/"report". We can see how that works on a smaller scale at Fox "News" Channel with Roger Ailes at the helm, e-mailing what his mouthpieces are supposed to "report" every morning. That's no different with CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, and all the other newspapers and all radio stations across the country.

Luckily, we have President Obama who cuts through all the fog and clears it up for us.

Maybe he doesn't know our customs, like he'll need a dem Congress to get his revolution passed. You'd think as a career politician he'd know this but then again look at his dismal record. Then again his other career choices were folk singer or soft porn author.

lack of knowledge of the constitutional powers of the president and their ignorance with respect to civics. Remember, he has a bachelors in political science. So there's no excuse there, which tells me he darn well knows he can't make a single promise he's campaigning on become reality.

His surrogates - the ones infiltrating every blog, comments section, progressive websites, etc. - are far more savvier than your average Bernie supporter. But they have their own reasons to take apart the Democratic Party. The question is, what exactly are those reasons?
