Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumLook for a very large number of candidates to begin
dropping out of the race for President. (I include R's in this metric).
I think you will begin to see some big names, including Bush. Personally, I think that was what the Trump campaign was about, to push Bush out of the race. Once that happens, as Trumps poll numbers decline, I am nearly positive you will see him go.
Oh and it will be speaking ill of corn that killed his race. Sad.
Iowa, NH and Cash on Hand are critical. With HRC not capturing a lot of small donors (she has them and will spike surely), the longer Sanders stays in, the more difficult it is going to get for her, she was counting on no significant competition. Look for her at some point AFTER the IA and NH primaries to economize which could get the attention of the press.
Nobody here should be worried too much about the HRC posters going a bit nuts on the board. I have read some incredibly bad posts lately, all trying to tamper enthusiasm for Bernie....well, it ain't gonna happen. As Bernie goes after HRC on the issues which is fair game AND he takes NH and possibly IA, he will get a MAJOR boost in the polls. He will have money, and a broad base of activist support.
HRC may win in SC, but if it is close, that will be big news and GREAT News for Bernie, so keep fighting there!
This will be a long haul, something HRC didn't expect. The campaign is doing great.
This election, it's not just change we can believe in, it's real fuckin change. (including at the DNC, that is coming too).
We are fighting for the very soul of the Democratic Party here.

(14,691 posts)if none of us reads the posts... mission unaccomplished. I'm blocked from their group anyway and I trashed GD-Pee. I've gotten to know some of their screen names so I know some of whose posts not to click on, if they're not already on my ignore list. IOW, leave them talking to themselves.

(32,086 posts)and then we're down to Rubio vs. Bernie (or possibly Clinton/Castro if the establishment wins). I think the repugs (Koch et al) originally wanted Bush/Walker but that isn't working out for them.
