Atfirst I thought all the ops on this was to try to convince people like me but as the day has gone on I think they are trying to convince themselves.

By a large margin. Pundits are saying Hillary. Many of the pundits use "unnamed sources" as their proof.

That is a fact. I'm not whining. I'm not in the least surprised. I even said it would happen. I'm fine with it. For the first time in a very long time, people are fighting back against corporate media.

What I do find to be sad is people I used to have respect for (I'm not talking about you) are trying to push the corporate media objective instead of fighting it. It's sad.

A bunch of people watched the debate. A great majority of those people responded to one or more polls. All the polls show Sanders won by a large margin.

Who gets to say who won a debate? Those that watched it? Or those that didn't but wrote about it? Like the politico article that calls Hillary the winner before the debate that says "insiders" say she won but not one person will go on record saying that.

convince themselves of what they were up against, and that their candidate beat all odds.
And he elevated the whole Democratic party in doing so.

No more accessible health care.

But ironically we've seen how your position works. There was lots more war because of views like yours after 2000

what does this have to do with 2000? not that any of us have discussed who we voted for.

don't go blaming me for wars. Blame it on Bush, Cheney, and the people who voted for their war of choice. Including Clinton and biden.

was just on Facebook and saw a comment chastising Huffington Post for a positive article about Hillary because a) Bernie's the front-runner and b) all the online polls show he won the debate. It's like they're posting from bizarro world.

The supporters of both Hillary and Sanders here on DU have acted inexcusably.
