Bernie staying in the race adds one very important aspect that Hillary (& msm) supporters ignore.

[jillan]

We have 2 Democrats bashing Trump every single day.

What does Bernie say in every rally for those that you who do not listen--- (paraphrasing)
Trump will never be elected President. No one is going to elect a man to be President that is a racist, a homophobe, a xenophobe, that makes fun of people with disabilities or our veterans.
And a reminder, says Bernie, that Donald Trump helped create the Birther movement to try and deligitimize our first African American President.
Love trumps Hate and that is why Trump will never be elected. He goes on for about 5 minutes ranting against Trump, and the crowd loves it.

This is nothing new with Bernie. He has been going after Trump since day one.

All the people at Bernie's rallies have heard his rant. Along with most of his supporters.
Hillary is attacking him as well - she is even beginning to run ads against Trump.

Between Bernie and Hillary it's 2:1 defining Donald Trump from the Democratic side.

And that is a good thing.

[Trust Buster]

1. Except for the fact that Sanders is aggressively attacking Hillary and the Democratic Party.

The costs clearly are outweighing the benefit you speak of. His supporters haven't figured out how selfish the guy is behaving.

[jillan]

4. He is not attacking Hillary. He is pointing out the differences between them. For example

the IWR vote, Trade deals, TPP

Those are not attacks! Those are FACTS!

[Arneoker]

40. That's fine if he and his supporters keep to the issues

Not all of his supporters are keeping to the issues, but tossing around crap that the sleaziest Republicans have for years.

[Ash_F]

8. If Sanders was not in it many would have lost interest in this race long ago

Turnout will be key in November

[jillan]

10. That is so true. All the excitement is on Bernie's side.

[appalachiablue]

12. The God's truth. Bernie has brought millions of motivated Americans into

the political process, an enormous accomplishment especially in this age of apathy and contempt.

[CorporatistNation]

16. A Candidate Likely To Be Indicted On Multiple Federal Charges Will NEVER Become President...

The FBI is unwilling to take a fall of that magnitude for this certainly less than legitimate candidate!

[leftynyc]

32. Except it's only

morons who think she's likely to be indicted. Legal experts completely disagree.

[Bye Bye Birdie]

34. Legal experts

That arent FBI sources are unreliable.

[leftynyc]

35. LOL

And for your very first post - inane bullshit. WELL DONE!!!

[RobertEarl]

38. They disagree with the likes of you

It is obvious they found something, otherwise they would have dropped it already. She's been caught!! Just a matter of time now.

[leftynyc]

39. You're going to be

very disappointed. And your glee at even the notion of an indictment tells everyone all they need to know about you. Pathetic.

[Arneoker]

41. You don't think it is sad that this is what you are waiting for?

This reflects your ideals? This inspires you? Really? I thought a lot of people were going for Bernie because he was leading them to something larger than themselves.

[JaneyVee]

2. So its Hillz and Bernie vs Trump, and Trump and Bernie vs Hillz...

Nice way to point out that its Hillary vs 2 guys and shes beating them both by millions of votes.

Also, this proves that no one is attacking Bernie.

[Trust Buster]

5. I salute your common sense.

[jillan]

6. Leave it to you to bring genitals into the conversation.

[vintx]

27. Ain't it just so predictable?

[Arkansas Granny]

9. This!

[NewImproved Deal]

3. His Anti-Trump Message is tougher and cleaner than the Former First Lady's...

The Two Oligarchs have too much in common...

[jillan]

7. Bernie really hits him with the Birther movement.

[Arneoker]

42. Yeah, I'll bet Bernie and his buddy Jim Inhofe

Retch when they see this picture, after Jim talks about how climate change is such a hoax.

I'm sorry, but this kind of argument is so dumb. People socialize across political lines.

[uponit7771]

11. That's if Sanders was really bashing Trump, that's NOT what he's doing.. he's not even softened his

... stance on HRC up at all and the DNC is now some "rigged" system that the long shot black guy won with in 2008.

If Sanders was consummately on Trump I'd give it to him but some shit he says is over the top

[Ash_F]

13. Sanders has called Trump a pathological liar

Clinton has never said anything close to as scathing.

[JEB]

14. Clinton and Trump are chums.

I'm sure we have all seen the photo of them yuking it up.

[moriah]

17. In general, the more extreme attacks are left for the "attack dogs" to make...

... while letting the potential president seem to only addess issues and incompetence, which she does often.

I'm glad Bernie and Elizabeth Warren, among others, have been doing the baiting there, if for no other reason than with Trump's extremely personal attacks against her and her family aren't going to play well to a lot of people.

Remember, Trump writes his own ads against him:

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. Hmm I guess I was an alternate universe yesterday when

Sanders did indeed attack trump

[uponit7771]

19. Another Strawman, you're rackin em up... I said if he was constantly bashing Clinton at the same tim

... which hurts her too and his "riggged" claim when it comes to the DNC.

We'll see

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. Oh delicate flower

It is still a contested primary

[uponit7771]

22. It can be contested and people can talk about issues instead of getting personal as Sanders has...

... cause he's the only one who has gotten consistently personal attaching HRC to the privileged peoples boogyman of Wall Street.

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. You most be new to the process

Because this has been one of the least nasty runs for office I have seen. 2008 there were more blows...for example. That is my conclusion at this point. All you guys are 18 year olds just paying attention to this for the first time. Can't wait for the summer. I promise cookies and milk when it gets too bad

[uponit7771]

24. Unnn, that's mainly true then ... He's been one track with a couple of comments but overall

... I don't think Clinton deserves the net negative from Sanders supporters or grass roots.

There have been intimations even here there's no difference between an overt racist, sexist asshole in tRump and Clinton and Sanders himself said recently that she may be the least of two evils.

There's no rational argument that's she's right of center seeing her life's work on progressive issues, she's certainly not more left than Sanders by a mile but that doesn't disqualify her.

I like the 72% number from the other pool in regards to Sanders supporters voting for Hillary...

Makes me think a lot of RFing is going on in the DNC in regards to Hillary's likability

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. My goodness.

People get to point differences in political campaigns. Oh my

[uponit7771]

29. Not ones that disperrage a persons character though especially on such a non issue to the dem base

... as Wall Street.

It's a tailor made message for the wrong crowd

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. My goodness you keep acting like a neub

I cannot wait for the MIRV deployment in the summer. Will be fun to watch you guys. Hey, I need to be entertained. And I admit, this will be

[panader0]

33. Wait, Wall Street is a "non issue" to the Democratic base?

FFS!

[frylock]

36. Can you share some examples of the constant bashing?

[Demsrule86]

46. Sanders does no good for anyone except Trump

"While Mr. Sanders says he does not want Mr. Trump to win in November, his advisers and allies say he is willing to do some harm to Mrs. Clinton in the shorter term if it means he can capture a majority of the 475 pledged delegates at stake in California and arrive at the Philadelphia convention with maximum political power.

Tad Devine, a senior adviser to Mr. Sanders, said the campaign did not think its attacks would help Mr. Trump in the long run, but added that the senator’s team was “not thinking about” the possibility that they could help derail Mrs. Clinton from becoming the first woman elected president."

Yeah from the horses mouth...hurt Clinton. How about she is the lesser of two evils? he said that ...on Sunday...just listen to any speech. Oh and Weaver said that all the Donalds attacks on Clinton were true...yesterday...I have come to despise Sanders because of his behavior.

[frylock]

49. Oh my gawd lesser of two evils!!

Oh, the humanity. This is worse than that time Bernie called her the U-word. You'd better buck up, buttercup. Trump isn't going to be cowed by your Twitter tantrums.

[moriah]

15. I have no objections if they trash Trump instead of each other. Nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. You might want to watch the videos

Then. And it is still a contested primary.

[Demsrule86]

47. It is over

Now Sanders only helps Trump and hurts our nominee.

[nadinbrzezinski]

50. I did not know sanders or Clinton conceded.

When did that happen? And helping Trump...are you new to the process?

[Metric System]

26. Sanders message lately is that only HE can stop Trump.

[nadinbrzezinski]

31. Another newbie. It is called an electability

argument. It is a classic in close races, and this technically still is close.

My goodness...and I thought posters here were more sophisticated. This summer will be lots of fun. In a tragic way though

[elleng]

28. and they call him 'whiny and bitter,' jillan!

[Garrett78]

37. Yet many on DU seem convinced that Trump will, in fact, become POTUS.

[Sky Masterson]

43. In Soccer they have what is called a Super Sub.

You play the game for 80 or so minutes and when the player is tired or hurt you put in a fresh horse.
This quite often happens in the game and births many come from behind victories.
It happened two weeks ago for Sporting KC (The Greatest team in AMERICA!).
You Red Card Bernie too soon and you're down a man when you may need him the most.
This is another positive that the Dem party needs to embrace and STOP trying to bully him out of it.

[Demsrule86]

45. No

Trump and the GOP would be down a man...as Sanders attacks Clinton -not Trump.

[Demsrule86]

44. I wish it were so

I heard Bernie on the Sunday shows...it was Trump who? He bashed Hillary from start to finish...so what we have is Trump and Sanders teaming up to attack Hillary...Weaver even said Trump's attacks against Hillary were true yesterday...who needs 'help' like that? Sanders seems to dislike Hillary way more than Trump...go figure.

[oberliner]

48. Bernie bashes Hillary much more than he bashes Trump

And his supporters respond much more fervently to the former than the latter.
