Itâs getting disturbing how often Sanders supporters agree with Republicans.
As usual I was trying to find the stupidest part of the statement to comment on but nothing stood out from the rest.
Mrs. Sanders is becoming a whining sore loser. First of all, Sen Sanders will never get a majority of the Super Delegates so they are irrelevant here, and Sec Clinton will win outright with the pledge delegates anyway.
I am curious. Why shouldnât a political party, e.g., the Democrats, have the right to set up THEIR nominating process they way they want? What is non-democratic about a party having its own rules when it comes to selecting ITS candidate?
Sen Sanders wasnât interested in the Democratic Party until he thought he decided to run for its nomination. Now suddenly he - or at least his wife - think they should have a say over how that party chooses its nominee?
Amazing how the Sanders campaign simultaneously complains about the super delegates and pleads for their vote.
If it wasnât for a super delegate system, Sandersâs chances would plummet to 0. His own campaign manager has said the way they hope to win is by convincing super delegates to vote for Sanders.
Sanders has lost primaries in all regions of the country, he has lost the popular vote, and he has lost pledged delegates. The only thing that he has won is caucuses, which in practice is the least democratic form of elections possible.
It seems reasonable for democrats to select their nominee. Why should anyone else, i.e. independents, have a role in this process?
Trump has benefited greatly by the Republican system, and Sanders has benefited from the Dem. If you swapped the two Hillary would be much further ahead, and Trump much further behind.
The time to make comments and try to change the system is before an election cycle. Anyone who whines about it during or immediately afterward because they lost runs having their comments attributed to that loss. The rules are complicated because each state has different rules but they were set long before the first vote was cast this cycle. It is the responsibility of a good campaign chairman to know the rules and plan for them by educating the candidate and their base.
Super! You just keep right on running that mouth until all the stupid has fallen out of it, okay?
And yet no complaints about the caucus system which has benefitted Sanders enormously but disenfranchises voters even more than the closed primaries his wife is crowing about
Oh boo hoo.
âNow, Donald Trump has a point. The electoral process â the way it is conducted now in both parties is not good, it is not democratic, it is not smart,â Sanders said on Fox Business Network. (Jane Sanders)
True, Mrs. Sanders â we need to eliminate caucuses.
Me thinks the real Jane ad Bernie Sanders have shown up
Bernie and his wife and are getting on my last nerve! They are interlopers complaining about the Democrats rules that were determined and set before they conveniently decided to join the Party for strategic reasons only!!! Iâll be glad when they both fade away.
Bingo! Sen. Sanders knew the structure of the Democratic Partyâs nominating process. If he didnât like it or felt it was unfair, why did he sign up? I say this as someone who (initially) welcomed him into the fold.
Iâll wait until Philly
Nobody is that stupid enough to try to outdo the Cleveland convention, so keep talking Jane.
Itâs your first amendment right and at last check, you are married to the luckiest man in this election cycle.
Cherish that always.
Really
Jane Sanders is whining on all the talk shows about the âunfair process.â She never mentions caucuses, which are the least democratic of all. Nate Silver has a great analysis which shows Hillaryâs lead would triple under GOP rules and would be about the same with direct vote straight proportionality. FiveThirtyEight
How dare she she have an opinion on open primaries, same-day registration and superdelegates!
Heresy!
Burn the Witch!
Sheâs saying she wants to change the rules of two organizations, neither of which is she a member.
This whole fiasco is detrimental to Sanders future in Congress. It seems as if the role of whiner in chief has now fallen to his wife. Sanders may find out the hard way that when he gets back to his day job, there isnât as much appetite for Dems to put up with his nonsense, his usefulness outlived.
