Textbook Bernie Bro here. I can’t think of anything she’s said that smacks of entitlement to votes. On the other hand and assuming you’re genuinely interested, I have two theories that might explain that impression.

Trump is a piece of shit, but he’s a smart tactician who realized he can secure the GOP nomination by appealing to racist, strength/machimo-driven identity politics without advancing all that much of a conservative agenda. Because that’s what all the other Republican candidates do. Because any conservative agenda is…

What’s weird is that Bernie and Hillary are advancing extremely different models of Presidential governance, which merit serious discussion given Obama’s difficulties working with an obstructionist Congress. Clinton’s approach to being “a progressive who gets things done” is a fairly traditional top-down approach with…

It was the only halfway respectable major that Trump University had to offer.

That would require researching, knowing and explaining what the Hyde Amendment is, as well as researching, knowing and explaining the Executive branch’s limitations and powers. All this is significantly more boooring than “Bernie Sanders is a socialist?! Why are people taking him seriously? What is UP with that?!” or…

Trump and Cruz become increasingly unlikeable the more they talk. An early win for either would give the victor more exposure, which will cause people to dislike him faster and more intensely. The elimination of adversaries will only make either more unlikeable; the only thing to like about Trump right now is that he…

I didn’t hold Bill C’s policies against HRC until she kept insisting that she’d bring back his policies (especially his disastrous economic policies), touting his Presidency (as an indication as to how things would go down in an HRC administration), and insisting that back in the ‘90s people “never had it so good.”…

I am, but this is good news for everybody. We’ll all be friends after June and there’s no way to avoid getting a load of Ted “Please Punch My Face” Cruz or whatever villain from the John Ford Stock Company the GOP decides to punish us with next.

No, I’m saying it’s not her fault at all, but the perception that the Democratic nom would be a cakewalk for her wasn’t doing her any favors. Now that she has a serious primary challenge, assuming she gets the nom, no one claim the primary was rigged to ensure an easy coronation. In other words, my point is that…

NH native here. I’m sorry you have to see this beautiful state at its absolute worst, weather-wise and otherwise. And I’m sorry they put you outside an electrical yard in ManchVegas. Denton must really hate you for not being all about the celebrity gossip and lipstick reviews. (We love you for it, though).

One of Clinton’s biggest problems used to be that people felt like she was being crammed down everyone’s throats, that her nomination was going to be an easy coronation. Now that she’s got a serious primary challenge on her hands, that won’t be an issue if she gets the nom. If Bernie gets the nom, he’ll be the little…

Does anyone else think some HRC supporters are masquerading as obnoxious Bernie Bros, and that some Bern patients are masquerading as obnoxious Clinton Curmudgeons just to alienate people from the opponent? Or that Republicans are masquerading as Bros and Curmudgeons just to screw with us all?

I’m in New England, where Bernie has a lot of support among independents, recovering Republicans and other non-Democrats. I wouldn’t worry about the party faithful abandoning HRC, but I’d worry about her failure to connect with independents and moderates. According to the RealClear aggregator, she’s losing to Rubio…

This primary will determine whether I vote for the nominee or spend every minute of spare time between September and November pounding pavement to get that nominee elected.

I’ve been hearing a lot of Bernie/McGovern comparisons lately from the Clinton camp, but bear in mind (1) Nixon was, politically speaking, seen as a reasonable pragmatic moderate by the standards of his time whereas today’s GOP is batshit fucking crazy by the standards of our times, (2) The Cold War era was an…

The reason why Sanders is so popular among under-45 voters is that we under-45s have a long future of supporting ourselves to pray for, and his proposals - while ambitious - are the only sustainable way forward in the long term. I don’t think all his goals will be accomplished in one term, but I’m confident that they…

Problem is HRC is in good shape whereas Christie and Cruz aren’t. And don’t even get me started on the disparity between their intelligence, professional competence and other less-shallow considerations. She’s out of their league and everybody knows it. Nothing of a remotely sexual nature between either of them and…

Hardcore Bernie Bro with huge anxieties about HRC’s stated agenda here, but I agree with everything you wrote. HRC should’ve been POTUS the 1990s (and appropriately groomed for the position in advance). She played to the spirit of her times better than Bill ever did and was a much more competent policymaker. She was…

Anyone with a passing knowledge of life outside their own rectums wouldn’t vote Christie or Cruz, though, so this isn’t the base these advisers are trying to reach.

Disagree. I’d endure every horrific traffic jam in the tri-state area before getting kinky with Chris Christie. ETA: And there’s no way HRC would give it up to *that.*
