NYC first lady: 'Bernie is getting desperate'

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Washington (CNN)Chirlane McCray, wife of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, said Thursday that Bernie Sanders is "desperate" in his pursuit of the Democratic presidential nomination and that will likely be on display at CNN's debate in Brooklyn.

"I think the tone will be respectful but I think that Bernie is getting desperate, so I expect that we'll hear the volume be pumped up a little bit," she told CNN's Alisyn Camerota on "New Day."
McCray, who like her husband, is supporting Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, dismissed the idea that there is an enthusiasm gap between the Vermont senator and the former secretary of state.
"I don't think there's an enthusiasm gap. I'm really happy to see this enthusiasm and all the support from all those people," she said. "Hillary has a commanding lead. She has more states, more votes and she's doing very well."
"She's got a bold vision and people are really ready to support her," McCray added.
She also had sharp words for Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, who has frequently been at odds with de Blasio. The senator criticized de Blasio's support for teachers' unions Wednesday at a CNN town hall as an embodiment of the worst of "New York values."
"I just think Ted Cruz is awfully confused. He thinks he's running against Bill de Blasio, mayor of New York City," McCray said. "He doesn't even know who he's running against."
"New Yorkers have already told Ted Cruz to go home," McCray added. "Enough said."

2. He's always been desperate.

First it was for attention, which is why he ran.

Then it was for votes, which is why he pandered.

Now it's for a legacy, which is why he's climbing into the gutter.

4. Um ok

Just tell Hillary to bring her A game tonight. And not to take the subway.

18. The First Lady of New York has remarks. they are hers. I think they sound sad to me.

[bobbobbins01]

5. I believe Bernie has more states now.

Since he flipped NV. But I could be mistaken.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. I believe people vote and not states and Hillary is leading by approximately 2,4000,000 votes *

And the attempts to steal Nevada were foiled.






*including caucuses.

9. It doesn't include caucuses because the raw vote total has not been released.

Can it.

For example:

*Vote totals are not actual votes cast, but are state convention delegates won. State convention delegates choose national delegates in May.

13. Res ipsa loquitur

Despite the suspicions of the Sanders supporter, the fact that caucus results are not included in the popular vote tally does not appear to make much of a difference in the final result. Despite overwhelming victories in caucus states such as Washington and Maine, Sanders gains only about 130,000 votes. That means Clinton is ahead by 2.4 million votes, rather than 2.5 million votes.

Including caucus results, Clinton leads Sanders by almost 2.4 million raw votes, 9.4 million to just more than 7 million, according to The Green Papers.

10. You can't conflate votes when dealing with caucuses and primaries.

But you know that, you're just being dishonest.

17. I am not being dishonest. Please see Post #13

20. Yes you are.

Good day sir.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. You called me a liar. I proved I wasn't.

Rather than apologize you double down, and then it end with a fake showing of bonhomie:

Good day sir.

Typical for you and your ilk.




LOVE,

14. Incorrect, he didn't win Nevada, Clinton has more delegates from NV

and won the day of voting.

She's ahead 18-16 in terms of states won, if you flip NV it's still 17-17 going into the next round of states.

7. Isn't she precious. nt

8. I knew you were capable of making a prescient observation.

11. Not as desperate as many of his supporters...nt

12. "People are really ready to support her..."

I know more people who aren't, but you keep thinking that.

19. in my neck of the woods, I have yet to meet one

[phleshdef]

15. LOL, Hillary has a "bold vision"?

Um, no, she doesn't.

[amborin]

16. Hillary is desperate; she lost 7 of the last 8 primaries; her huge lead in NY has drastically shrunk

[Sheepshank]

22. She and many of us had realized 6 of the last 7 were likely to be Bernie wins

the demographics and type of elections were his stronghold. Things are about to change and Bernie cannot catch up...and Hillary will reach the magic number of total delegates, so a contested convention will be out of the question.
