Knowing SC was likely to be a debacle for Sanders

I did myself a favor, ignored the forums for a day, and watched most of a season of Boston Legal.

Of all the shows in the recent years to comment on the state of the nation, Boston Legal nailed it. Alan Shore tilted his metaphorical lance at the windmills of the establishment. Denny Crane was a different sort, affable in his own way. The funny thing is, the show over-lapped the '08 election, when we all knew republican talking points for what they were. Nobody tried to defend a republican talking point.

Hillary supporters, left and right, are rationalizing her stances. I think the democratic party has lost an entire generation by not representing their interests.

So far he's trailing Hillary in the polls and in pledged delegates.

Perhaps he has to do more to convince enough voters to support him?

The writing on that show was so silly, but I like the atmosphere. It was like a poor man's Twin Peaks.
