Why is he not run not running as independent?

Because this way he got several policy concessions from Hillary.

Cheating is part of the game? I think, no I know, they think differently in Las Vegas. You will go to jail for cheating.
Bluffing is part of the game but if you have an ace up your sleeve people won't take kindly to it. Remember the okay corral.

No, they think the same in Vegas, it's the players job to come up with ways to cheat, it's the houses job to try and stop it.

Only bad cheaters go to jail for it, the good ones don't get caught.

That doesn't make it moral or ethical.

Why did Bernie say he was looking forward to the "roll call" in his speech?

It happens at around 5:15.



He also said around 8:25 in the video to ignore the media and what they focus on.

Maybe he has a trick up his sleeve?!!

It would be awesome if he was just playing along, being a good boy, while unsuspectingly turning this all around in his favor. Wishful thinking, I know.

The roll call wasn't cancelled. It is going to happen around 4:45pm eastern time, I think.

Not buying it.

This has always been about getting Hillary in office NO MATTER WHAT.

That's ridiculous. That was definitely not his plan. He knows what happened. I think he went on with his campaign as far as he possibly could. He has made his own decisions as to what to do now. He is much more concerned, at this point, with keeping Trump out than putting Hillary in and I think that is very important.

I think Democrats lost millions of votes today.

Unrecoverable.

The convention is going rather well. I don't see why that would be true.

You're right, it doesn't. It is however the reality of politics. If you can't get through a process where people aren't playing fair, how are you going to deal with nations that don't play fair?

I am Convinced , after Viewing All the Evidence in Plain Sight , that Bernie Sanders is just a Playa' in the Con Job the DNC is trying to Pull on the American Public . He was Never Meant to Win , but just to Pull in enough Undecided independent Voters away from thinking about Voting for Mr. Trump , and to assure Hillary would Win the Presidential Election by a Superior Number of Electoral Votes come Nov . . This to me Brings a Whole New Meaning to the Definition of Sanders Supporters , Da Burned Baby , Da Burned.........

By exposing the corruption and getting the rules chaned.

As for nations, that's different and the same at the same time. Remember the UN sanctioned Russia for "not playing fair". So you sort of take them out of the game as much as possible.

Did I just hear correctly (on the 3pm news) that Bernie is going to speak tonight and officially dub her as the Democratic Party nominee for President??? You think his family was threatened...or something?

a reply to: carewemust

No. He's going to be in the family box. Just watch.

a reply to: carewemust

Nope.
