Welcome to IWETHEY!

New That was July 6
And on July 22 the Democratic email dump made clear that it wasn't "fair and square".

So pointing out what Bernie believed at the time with limited information really isn't relevant.
New Yet he was "vigorously" campaigning for her in September...

Sen. Bernie Sanders is about to start tearing up the campaign trail.

The Vermont independent will campaign for Hillary Clinton in the battleground states of Iowa and Minnesota on Monday and Tuesday, and appearances elsewhere are in the works.

“He’s talking about traveling all over the country to help Secretary Clinton," Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said Friday, adding that Sanders also will help other candidates and discuss ballot issues he cares about.

Sanders spent most of August writing a book but has since campaigned for Clinton in Ohio (once) and New Hampshire (twice). An event Wednesday in the Granite State was the first joint appearance for Sanders and Clinton since he endorsed her in July. The event aimed to win more support for Clinton from millennials who supported Sanders in the primaries. Clinton is underperforming among young adults, a significant percentage of whom have turned to third-party candidates.


Usually when one feels cheated, one doesn't work to elect the cheater.

FWIW.

Cheers,
Scott.
New He made a simple decision
Trump or her. Far lesser of 2 evils. I admire him for it. And he is a politician, which means he knows when to keep his mouth shut if it means furthering his own agenda, no matter how cheated be may feel.
New And yet too many of Bernie's supporters couldn't make the same calculation. Curious. :-(
New They are not politicians
Average people throw hissy fits. The saying "cut off nose to spite his face" apply to most people, not just the exceptionionally stupid. A very small subset of the population are truly logical. Nothing curious about it.
New No, they are morons - just like Trump voters.
New Or live in a place where a vote doesn't matter.

New Votes always matter. They're precious and shouldn't be thrown away.
New Voting for HRC in Indiana in 2016 is the essence of throwing one's vote away.

New Things don't change until they do. Every vote matters.
New Nonsense. The Democratic Candidate losing Indiana in the general was a fait accompli.
Exactly as I predicted.
Although if the youth can still manage to trust our political system enough to participate after the betrayal of Obama, then Indiana could go for the Democratic candidate again as it did in 2008. But that would be if and only if Bernie is the candidate. ... Clinton has about as much chance of carrying Indiana as she does of getting my vote in the primary.

New Meh.
Yes, the polling said she wasn't going to win IN and she didn't. Congratulations. That doesn't mean that people shouldn't have voted for her.

Pre-election polling was always tight, although McCain generally had a slight lead in 3 poll averages throughout the entire general election, including the final weeks of the election.


"McCain's ahead, so I guess it's hopeless" is self-fulfilling.

Cheers,
Scott.
New Nice Try.
I wasn't going by polls. Anyone who had been at least half conscious for the past 30 years would have recognized that she did not have a chance in Indiana without having to bother looking at a poll.

New Heh.
I guess we would all be better off if we ignored evidence and just relied on your gut, eh?

(sigh)
