Here's the thing. Bernie gets a large crowd to an outdoor rally and the outcome

isn't, Bernie draws a large crowd, but Bernie's guy uses the word whore.

So Bernie's campaign shoots itself in the foot again.

He will lose NY next week and fall further behind in delegates. Deal with it.

See it is ok for them to call somebody a whore because they hold the moral high ground (in their minds.)

Their candidate is a saint so the opposition has to be the devil.

And it is a shame because most of Bernie's issues are good ones. He will not be the one to get us there.

people in that same arena in 2008 and still lost to Clinton by 17% in% o the New York primary. I seriously doubt more than 10 percent of those young people are even eligible to vote.

I think you're missing the point 180°

Corporate whores have lots of "worth" - albeit primarily financial.

Who wants to bet that NY doesn't know exactly what a Corporate Whore is? I'll bet they use that phrase more often than it's been used here over the years.

Except for the fact that the majority of Dems in NY will join with the majority of Dems in my state of CA to nominate Hillary Clinton.

I was stationed at Fort Monmouth before I went to Vietnam. I had an Irish, Jewish and Polish friend who took me to their NY city neighborhoods on weekends. I enjoyed New York and have very fond memories of the city.

I watched the Thanksgiving parade from the place where Bernie had his rally last night. Great city.
