Bernie just asked all his followers to send in another $2.70 to his campaign so he could keep fighting Hillary for the D nomination.

Bernie asks his supporters to contribute $2.70 each

God bless Bernie. What a wonderful guy. And such a contrast from Hillary and her Hollywood fund raising dinner last week where the 1% paid $340,000 per ticket to come and give Hillary her marching orders, and even the guy who organized the fund raiser for Hillary said it was disgusting.


The Bernie Bros throw one dollar bills at Hillary to protest her disgusting fund raising practices

Well, unfortunately, Bernie didn't do so well in New York.. I forget the numbers, but it was a clear win for Clinton. (and of course, he would really have to not only be winning here on out but win by +20 to make up the delegate gap).

Interestingly though, Bernie is still gaining on Clinton in general national polling. He's just 2 pts behind her now:

Did you notice how the Dems in New York closed registration to their closed party primary last October. Any person that became interested in Bernie this winter was shut out from voting for him Tuesday. Then there were thousands that were mysteriously purged from the Democratic voter rolls just prior to the primary. I'll bet you some headstones also voted for Hillary just like always.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('vtsnowedin', 'I')t is clear that both parties need to reform their delegate selection process. I think the leaders that come forward with the best solution to the problem will be the next generation of national leaders.

[vtsnowedin]

I want every delegate at the GOP convention to represent roughly the same number of Republican voters. Currently a delegate from a blue state represents a lot fewer Republicans then one from a red state.
Also every state should have a primary with the delegates awarded proportionately using real math rounded up to the nearest whole delegate. All those primaries should be open to all registered voters as that is when people are interested and might join the party or switch sides.

Now the Koch Bros are looking at supporting Hillary Clinton in 2016.

charles-koch-hillary-clinton-white-house

Why should the Koch Bros or any other billionaire support an R if the R is going to lose? US demographics are changing so that a D is almost certain to win in 2016, so it makes more sense for the Koch Bros. to join all the other Billionaires putting money into the D candidate, especially when you've got a money-hungry candidate like Hillary up for sale.

[Sixstrings]

Well yeah, that ruins the "evil koch brothers" narrative if Charles Koch is endorsing Clinton.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'B')illionaire businessman Charles Koch said in an interview airing Sunday that “it’s possible” another Clinton in the White House could be better than having a Republican president.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Plantagenet', 'B')illionaires who pay off Hillary to help them close factories in the US and ship off the jobs to Mexico and China are no longer evil.

I think it's gonna end I pup being about who hates who more.

Liberal's minds have just exploded. Division by zero has been achieved. The Koch brothers are signaling, in not uncertain terms, that they do not want Trump and his tariffs messing with their business operation.

[Sixstrings]

Well, wasn't just Trump that won Indiana.. Bernie did too.

Voter breakdown is still showing a large age gap. Indiana voters 44 years old and under voted Sanders by 68%. Clinton has a similar gap with independents, with them going to Sanders by similar margin.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')anders: Clinton team thinks race 'is over. They're wrong'

"I know that the Clinton campaign thinks this campaign is over. They're wrong," Sanders said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press from New Albany, Indiana. "Maybe it's over for the insiders and the party establishment but the voters today in Indiana had a different idea."

Sanders said he had no intention to drop out of the race and rejected the notion that his criticism of Clinton's record on issues like trade, campaign finance and the Iraq war would help Trump.

[Newfie]

Overall

Sanders 52.5%
Clinton 47.5%

Hardly a mandate for Clinton.

I think it also bodes poorly for her in November.
