Feel the Bern indeed.

Sanders ran an campaign based on disagreements with Clinton.  The positive of this is that we actually had a battle of ideas and vision.  The negative is, how can Bernie Sanders now turn around and say he agrees with the arguments Clinton is making?  The very best he can do is say, well one thing we are absolutely agreed on is that Trump and the GOP are terrible.

He already has said that Hillary Clinton would be far preferable to any of the GOp candidates who were running.  When all the smoke clears, he likely will do the same thing.  But the best he can do is be an anti-Trump attack dog now.  If he starts celebrating Clinton's vision, it'll get skewered in the media (and perhaps rightly so, given that we all know he disagrees with her).  

The truth is that for all their raw numbers, the GOP stage didn't feature a whole lot of ideological disagreement about policy beyond Rand Paul, who was a boutique candidate anyways. It seems as though, in running an ideological campaign in the primary, you put yourself in a pickle when it comes time to "unify" later.

Sanders, in my view, would be a disaster in the presidency. But the fact that Clinton is having so much trouble closing out her victory is evidence that he speaks for a lot of people in his party. And if he restores their hope in electoral democracy, good for him.

As for the harm he could inflict on Clinton, it's more a symptom of her problems than a cause. She threw plenty of hard punches at Barack Obama in her 2008 campaign, none of which kept him from winning in November. If anything, the primary battle taught him and his advisers a lot about how to respond to Republican attacks. If Clinton loses to Trump, it won't be because of unkind things Sanders said about her.

"So what? Democracy is messy. Everyday my life is messy. But if you want everything to be quiet and orderly and allow, you know, just things to proceed without vigorous debate, that is not what democracy is about."

Sorry Bernie, Democracy is not messy(the results may be, but that is a different story). Democracy is quite simple, whoever gets the most votes wins.

Moreover, warm views of Mr. Sanders increased the liberalism of young Democrats by as much as 1.5 points on the seven-point ideological scale. For many of them, liberal ideology seems to have been a short-term byproduct of enthusiasm for Mr. Sanders rather than a stable political conviction.

Perhaps for that reason, the generational difference in ideology seems not to have translated into more liberal positions on concrete policy issues -- even on the specific issues championed by Mr. Sanders. For example, young Democrats were less likely than older Democrats to support increased government funding of health care, substantially less likely to favor a higher minimum wage and less likely to support expanding government services. Their distinctive liberalism is mostly a matter of adopting campaign labels, not policy preferences.t that they are, on the whole, not.

Yeah Doc, go ahead and conflate Trump and Clinton. Just like Ralphie.

I have supported you in the past, even voted for you, but now I will actively oppose you at every opportunity.

Why is Weaver so sure about this? Why because Boxer did not act in a way that Weaver considers appropriate for a woman who is afraid. Boxer, attempting to defuse things, blew kisses to the crowd. This is not an acceptable response according to Weaver. He has not set out what a woman should do in such a circumstance. Perhaps crumple to the ground in tears? Run off the stage in hysterics? What is the proper, Weaver approved, way for a woman to act when she feels threatened?

Delete me, I can take it.

FAR from done.

Make no mistake, he is focused on destroying Clinton's ever-narrowing chances.

Latest polls show Trump leading Clinton amongst our  fondest demo, white males, roughly 70-30. Astonishing. Probably historic.

It will be enormously difficult for her to make that up. Can she offset it with white females?
 Not if Bernie has anything to say about it.

Bottom line is , latest polls if they hold, show its over.

Whether that makes you ecstatic or enraged, calm down. Here's what these first few general-election polls do and don't tell you.
