    1. @L DL . Stop pretending Bernie is getting fair coverage… This is your party, not millionaires on a right wing outlet that couldn’t find Kavanagh on video supporting lie detectors in high profile appointments, while refusing to take one. He said it on tv…..
      Oh I got trumps tax returns! I didn’t even look yet! And I’m not gonna mention it was the year he married a foreigner….

    2. @Terry Tater not saying there are those in the D party hierarchy that don’t like Bernie,but he does get plenty of TV time…. See him every day….

    1. That’s why this conversation is a joke. The want people to give up on voting. It’s all they have left.. They can’t steal it with only old white voters..

    1. @Zinxeb Zinxeb Thank you. The Demo establishment would rather see President Trump than President Sanders because they will still be able to hang onto their bases of power.

    2. THEY BETTER NOT SHAFT BERNIE BUT EVEN IF THEY DO, NOT VOTING AGAINST THE GOP IS A DEATH BLOW TO DEMOCRACY. WE CANT WAIT FOUR MORE YEARS. IF HE WINS AGAIN, HE WILL TRY TO BECOME AN AUTOCRAT BY CHEATING HS WAY THROUGH OUR ELECTIONS AND EVISCERATING OUR DEMOCRACY. PUTIN LAUGHING.

    1. @Zeno of Citium Do you really think anyone is going to argue with you when you put time limits in civil discourse ? You REALLY got to love proving yourself right

    2. @Armand Bireaud . Know that they can’t steal the nomination with only old white votes. Get out there, they want you stay home.

    1. Get our there and vote. There’s no way they’re stealing the nomination with old white votes. Discouragement is best they have..

    2. @Terry Tater You know there are more white people voting than potatoes, don’t you? Yes vote, but stop with the BS. It is the GOP, not the DNC that is suppressing the minority vote.

    3. @Deborah Freedman . By devaluing black vote with gerrymandered districts. White America doesn’t control our party

    4. @Deborah Freedman Half true. Republicans are suppressing Democratic votes…..Democrats are suppressing Progressive votes.

    1. A brokered convention that will ensure the majority of Democrats (regardless of color) can vote for the nominee in the general.

    2. They will just split the vote until the convention and then bring in super delegates for a second round.

      Whoever wins needs to win big or a candidate favorable to the corporate establishment will simply be selected, and the will of the people be damned.

    3. THE GOP HAS A GOAL TO END THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. VOTING AGAINST THE GOP PREVENTS THEM FROM OBTAINING THAT GOAL. DEMOCRATS WILL STICK TOGETHER AND WIN.

    4. That is true and that probably will be the result. Right now Bernie is still under 30%, he most likely will not be the nominee if he does not reach Trump numbers (40+%) nationally among Democrats. Warren’s chance was these first 2 states and she failed, she should drop out if she has single digit results in the next 2 races. The next 2 races are Biden’s test and a Sanders type 27% victory in those states should make him consider cutting back on his campaign and dropping out after super Tuesday if someone like Bloomberg does better than him there. I would put my money on one of the younger candidates if Sanders cannot top 40%, if people like Biden and Warren (and by default all those below them) drop out.

    1. He is a very dangerous man, our Democracy, rule of LAW, Preserving🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
      All this country stands for folks, this is not a Mickey Mouse cartoon
      This is going on in our W. H. now.
      WE Need laws to be able to remove it at once this,

      BOIL
      OF PUS AND INFECTION. IT NEEDS A POLTICE OF BOILING WATER, MY GRANDMOTHER’S ANSWER TO INFECTION.
      GOD BLESS AMERICA,,
      LAND THAT WE LOVE ♥️❤️

  1. It doesn’t look like Doug Jones will keep his seat.
    However… it also doesn’t look like Collins will keep hers

    1. Good call. I’m not sure why she mentioned him. I really like the guy, after that impeachment vote, but he’s a goner, a sitting duck in the DEEP red state of AL. He must be counted as a loss. Thats just reality.
      *Vote out these vulnerable GOP Senators!* Collins (ME), Gardner (CO), McSally (AZ), Tillis (NC), Ernst (IA)
      If the Democrats gain these seats, and lose only Doug Jones (AL), the Dems will have the majority in the Senate.

    1. @Chris Johnson Do you honestly not understand what he was trying to say?

      Yeah, the US is a republic. Britain is a constitutional monarchy. India, too, is a Republic. And as far as I know, no country claims to be a democracy in the formal sense.

      They all claim to be Republics of different kinds.

      Therefore, there is no democracy anywhere in the world. Right? Because by your logic that would be the case.

      Don’t be pedantic when you know what he is saying if you want to have an honest discussion.

      On the other hand, if you just want to be technical, well we can go down that road too, but then that will lead to things like proving there actually not being any democracies anywhere in the world.

      Your choice.

    2. No, they know that we have several choices, and are letting use see who they are. Unlike Sanders and Trump supporters, they aren’t acting like there is only one choice, the worst one.

    1. I AM FOR BIDEN AT FIRST BUT NOW BERNIE GO GO GO. IT SHOULD NOT MATTER ALL THAT MUCH. WHAT SHOULD MATTER IS ALLOWING AN AUTOCRACY LED BY THE GOP. IF THAT HAPPENED, WE WILL NEVER GET RID OF AN AUTHORITARIAN PRESIDENT AND HE WILL RUIN OUR COUNTRY. ONE MORE TERM OF THAT BOZO AND HE WILL CHANGE OUR COUNTRY FOREVER SO WE CAN NEVER GET IT BACK.

  2. If Bernie goes into the conversation with more delegates and they give it to someone else it will open Pandora’s box.

    1. @Angus Well DUH, no kidding. My only point is that he’s not the clear favourite. 
      He’s the one that’s being pushed in the original comment.

    1. CORRUPTION IS WHEN YOU CHEAT AND DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE RULES. THE GOP HAS RIPPED UP ALL OF THE RULES. GO VOTE 2020 AGAINST THE GOP NO MATTER WHO IT IS.

    1. @Denyze . She’s thinks it’s her cause she’s on tv lol.. Petes enough of a narcissist to believe it, Amy isn’t convincing me She believes it. She he’s never trumpers. Bernie gets low propensity voters. Only Bernie will get both..
