[berni_mccoy]

Oh wait, sorry, that's actually a small gathering of millionaires and billionaires who are to contribute a massive amount of $325,000 per plate. Sorry my bad.

1. Hillary voters as a rule

Are too busy working and rearing children, or they are older, and do not have the ability to spend hours at rallies. Or caucuses.

[eShirl]

2. They're to busy turning sour grapes into whine.

[rock]

3. So you're saying

They aren't busy working and rearing children, and they are not older: Liar, liar, pants on fire! Feel the bern!

[apcalc]

24. Guess

You know nothing about demographics.

[rock]

28. Guess again

Or you can just make up a lie. That's what most BSers do.

[notadmblnd]

34. Bull! How in the hell do they get out to vote on election day?

Or does absolutely everyone vote absentee? Face it- no one is interested in hearing the message of "No, we can't!"

[Human101948]

4. In my neighborhood they're driving giant SUVs while talking on their cell phones...

running red lights while rushing to get Muffie to her dance lesson.

6. I've only seen on Hillary bumper sticker here (Ann Arbor)...

...but lots of Bernie stickers on a variety of cars.

My favorite:

Bernie 2016
Because fuck this shit.

Awesome.

[marmar]

11. I don't live in A-squared, but I'm there a lot.....

..... and I haven't seen one Hillary sticker. Bernie stickers and signs everywhere. I've seen more "Harbaugh for President" signs than Hillary ones.

[Barack_America]

5. Exactly why I could not attend the Sanders rally in my town.

So disappointed, but, as you said children and work have to come first!

[Human101948]

7. You mean, you're not a college kid who wants "free stuff?"

Get out of here!

[Barack_America]

10. Ha ha, no. Upper middle class, late 30's, white woman.

What? Not you typical Sanders supporter?

I disagree. Very typical supporter where I live.

[islandmkl]

16. yeah..but...Hillary has more of the people like you, don't you know?

it's a proven fact...i've read it on DU many times....and i know it's true because the same people keep posting it over and over...they wouldn't do that if it wasn't true, would they?

[morningfog]

13. No they aren't.

[Fawke Em]

19. LMAO!

I took my kids to a Bernie rally.

And I work full time, too. It happened to be a weekend.

[apcalc]

26. It can be done

Just not usually on a Wednesday night for most people...

[Lizzie Poppet]

21. Well, it's obvious they're not looking for information on the candidates.

Just sayin'...

[pdsimdars]

22. Her supporters barely have the motivation to turn on the TV if she's on

Does she even have rallies?

I think what her "events" are called is fund raisers. Bernie has rallies and Hillary has fund raisers.

You have to have LOTS of money to go to Hillary's "events".
All you need is motivation to attend Bernie's.

[Trajan]

31. Funny ... I've been working steady for over three decades

Yet ... I'm voting for Bernie ... Go figure!

Maybe we should take up a collection for the poor, pitiful Hillary supporters, slaving away for crumbs of bread and a taste of bitter vetches ....

One might wonder how all those struggling Hillary supporters can cough up $27'00 each for those Hillary fundraisers ...

[cherokeeprogressive]

8. Well you got one thing right.

[Freddie Stubbs]

9. Hillary draws crowds when it counts -- on primary day!

[Fawke Em]

20. Crowds of paper...

Ask the folks in Wyoming about that.

[apcalc]

27. A caucus....

[book_worm]

12. Congrats on your big rallies

it isn't helping close the gap in either the popular or delegate vote and it will be even worse for Bernie after New York.

[morningfog]

14. Pop vote is not the measure, and the delegate gap is closing.

He's cut the gap by a third.

[B Calm]

15. Hillary = Best government money can buy.

[berni_mccoy]

18. You do realize this fund raiser is for her campaign, right?

And it's already been shown many places where the DNC is Funnelling "down-stream" fundraising by Camp Hillary back into her campaign...

[Divernan]

23. The DSCC just put $1.5 million in Dem. primary against progressive Dem.

Typically, the DSCC has not funded at the primary level, put supported the winners of Dem. primaries.

In Pennsylvania, where independent-of-Dem.machine Senate candidate (retired Navy Admiral and former U.S. Congressman) Joe Sestak is 16 points ahead of his opponent, DSCC just vomited $1.5 million of out of state money into his (pro-fracking, censured by state ethics committee for her funneling several millions of state money/contracts to her husband's employers) opponent's campaign in hopes of buying the election via ads.

But, hey! she's endorsed Hillary, and Sestak hasn't, so we progressives should just STFU. (sarcasm)

Glad to report that the state's two biggest newspapers in Phillie and Pittsburgh, have endorsed Sestak for Senate!

[berni_mccoy]

25. Wow, that is absolutely disgusting.

[Divernan]

32. Even though State Dem. party has not endorsed either candidate.

Oh yes, the DSCC knows better than the state party - why even bother to have state democratic organizations if the grand poobahs in DC ignore them?
http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2016/03/05/pa-democratic-state-committee-not-endorsing-any-senate-candidates/

HERSHEY, Pa. (AP) – Pennsylvania’s Democratic Party committee members went through a divisive process of buttonholing, cajoling and promising on Saturday but ultimately could not deliver endorsements in contested primary races for U.S. senator and state attorney general.

As a result, the candidates will run without the party’s explicit backing in the April 26 primary election to pick nominees to challenge Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey and keep a Democrat in the attorney general’s office since the embattled Democrat Kathleen Kane is not seeking re-election.

The party’s endorsement does not guarantee a nomination, but it can plug a candidate into fundraising and volunteer networks and provides a useful campaign slogan as the party-endorsed candidate.

[think]

29. Did not know this. Thank you for posting. /nt

[apcalc]

30. You should do a little research before you post . Endorsement has nothing to do with it

He has endorsed Hillary in the past. He is a bit of a quirky guy ( good fellow tho) . I have voted for Joe in his previous Senate run. He lost to Senator Toomey before tho, so I think they want a fresh face.

[Divernan]

33. Way to distort! Joe lost byonly 2 points with NO support from Dem. party

and despite being outspent by Toomey 4 to 1. And that was in a year the GOP was wiping the floor with Dem candidates nationwide. You say he's quirky?!?!? Oh yeah, he made it as 2nd in his class at Annapolis and a Ph.D. from Harvard and achieving 3 star admiral rank and commanding a fleet of ships, not to mention advising President Bill Clinton because he was "quirky"!

Washington's problem with Joe is that he's honest and has integrity - 2 qualities that make career politicians and bureaucrats squirm!
He got pushed aside by a new New Secretary of the Navy when he opposed MIC boondoggles, and declared outside the establishment fold when he refused to end his campaign so Clinton could push Arlen Specter onto Pennsylvanians as a faux Democrat.

He would make an outstanding Senator. We are lucky that a man of his caliber and character has chosen to run. McGinty doesn't stand a chance in hell of beating Toomey - not with her checkered past in state politics.
