I remember that guy and his Bernie delusions... he mentioned that he dumped something around $ 10 000 into that bet

Now it's back to the senate as an independent.

I must say, Sanders didn't lie when he stated he'd provide American college kids with a free education.

He taught them not to trust & 'believe' in politicians / bureaucrats.
He taught them the true level of corruption in politics.
Plus he taught them the true nature of socialism - it's not really to benefit the common folk...

Guessing the actual sequence of events was a bit tougher, but I still got this right. I tried to warn VVVV though, too bad he lost 8K.

But I can't imagine how she would pull it off. If Sanders is clearly and consistently ahead in most states, I don't think it is politically feasible for HRC to use super delegates to steal the nomination. It is technically possible. But it would tear the democratic party apart. At the very least many millions of Sanders supporters would absolutely refuse to vote for HRC, and it is also possible that Sanders would then try to mount an independent candidacy or be a write in option if he couldn't meet the criteria for that in time.

This is what I am banking on, and why I think Trump ultimately wins. A narrow Democratic primary loss creates bitter feelings, and if it comes down to shenanigans at the convention that gives it to either Sanders or Hillary, you can bet your ass they will not vote for the other side out of spite.

The worst case scenario for Trump is if the democratic nominee comes out ahead with a clear majority, such as with Obama, which gives that nominee a clear mandate and will rally the base to vote.

The best case scenario for Trump is if there is a close to 50/50 vote split that is decided by a SuperPAC, which will piss off tons of democratic voters. This could easily result in liberal northeast states which are normally Democrat to become Republican (such as NYC, Penn, and Ohio).

What I saw in Iowa, with Clinton winning 6 coin tosses and shit like this, leads me to believe things will be a disaster for the Democrats this year.

Quote:Bernie Sanders on Tuesday warned his supporters against flocking to the Green Party in protest of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has repeatedly called on Sanders supporters to join her movement in the hopes of framing herself, not Clinton, as the leader who will carry the Sanders “revolution” to the finish line.

“I don't know the leadership of the Green Party, but I respect what they're trying to do,” Sanders said at a Bloomberg event in Philadelphia, according to The Washington Post.
“They're focusing on very, very important issues. But I think right now — what is it, three, four months before an election — you're gonna end up having a choice. Either Hillary Clinton is going to become president, or [GOP nominee] Donald Trump.”

He reasoned that unlike in a parliamentary system, the choice is binary, so supporters of the Vermont senator will only be hurting their cause if they flee the Democratic Party.

“If we were in Europe right now, in Germany or elsewhere, the idea of coalition politics of different parties coming together — you've got a left party, you've got a center-left party, coming together against the center-right party. That's not unusual,” he said.

“We don't have that. We have and have had [two parties] for a very long period of time — and I know a little bit about this, as the longest serving independent member of Congress.”

Despite the eagerness from Stein and Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson, the two-party system makes it all but impossible for an outside party to win a state, let alone a presidential election.

Quote:So now Bernie is telling people that if you vote your beliefs it is wrong, that is amazing.

True story:

I was talking to a 24 fresh out of college grad, a young career slut, and she asked me who I was voting for... told her I was voting Green. The triggering was so intense it was unlike anything I have ever seen, much worse than had I told her I was voting Trump.

"FUCKING GREEN are NOBODIES"
"But why should I vote for people who rig elections and does whatever corporations tell them?"
"It's NOT like your vote EVEN MATTERS ANYWAYS, THEY DECIDE"
"If my vote doesn't matter why are you angry that I am voting Green?"
"OMFG DO YOU WANT TRUMP TO WIN?"
"I thought Trump can't win because we know Hillary rigs elections?"
"FUCK YOU!!"

Never have I seen such intense triggerings, if you live in a deep blue state make sure you advocate for the Green party. The Green party is morally perfect according to progressive values:

- No big Wall St. donors
- Woman nominee, Black VP
- Wants to legalize weed
- Promotes Green tech
- Wants to tax the shit out of Wall St
- Hates the TPP

It's impossible for them to attack you with anything except "B-B-BUT TRUMP!" to which you can say, "I don't see how Hillary is any better than Trump, she's a monster."

There is a real revolt going on that isn't mentioned in the press... but Julian Assange delivered a speech to the Green party convention, and among progressive circles everyone knows the Green party is a more legit choice than the Dems. The Democrats are trying to imprison their base to prevent hemorrhaging, but they have no real arguments other than bullying and intimidation.

There's your hint.
Methinks this conversation was had while he was inside of her.
Peer-reviewed studies show, shouting "PRAISE TRUMP" pre-orgasm during cohabitation with a liberal lizard has the same physiological effect as a donkey punch.
The difference being you'll get sued for hate speech instead of physical assault.

Bernie Cashes In $27 At A Time, Buys Lakeside Summer Home

Quote:Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is the proud new owner of a summer home in the Champlain Islands, Seven Days has confirmed.

The Burlington resident last week plopped down nearly $600,000 on a lakefront camp in North Hero.

Sanders’ new crib has four bedrooms and 500 feet of Lake Champlain beachfront on the east side of the island — facing Vermont, not New York. The Bern will keep his home in Burlington and use the new camp seasonally.

Great to see Bernie has emotionally recovered from getting sewered by the DNC. Looks like Shrillary has paid him off some hush money. Politics really pays as this is now the Third home the Bern has bought including a home in Burlington and his Capitol Hill house.

I would love to see what percentage of Americans own three homes currently, here is a stat but it's 18 years old. Bernie you are the 4.48%! And how many of those 4.48% homeowners have multiple properties for rental income (Slumlords etc). Probably a lot fewer with bourgeoise lakeside leisure cottages!

Quote:New York University economics Professor Edward Wolff, a specialist in real estate statistics, said 4.48 percent of American households owned three or more residential properties in 1998, compared with fewer than 1 percent in the early '90s.
http://m.sfgate.com/business/article/Ric...777678.php

Bernie has been running on an "Eat the Rich" platform but he forgot the #1 rule of nutrition, "you are what you eat!" I think that Sanders needs to open his arms and let some young Syrian males live in this home when he is back in the Senate passing his usual three bills to rename post offices every decade.

Edit. LOL as soon as I post this I see today's Breitbart headline.

Shit $600K is near the median for a house around here, however your buying power in CA isn't much.

The dude definitely is in the rich category, he spends his money wisely.

Vermont is basically cuckville with new england liberal politics and the most effete republicans in the nation. Heard the women are fat, ugly, and spoiled too even when compared with the rest of the U.S.

$600K would barely get you a new house out here in the burbs, the CA house market is insane right now.

If you think about it, he doesn't make shit compared to many other politicians.

Poor taste and bad timing on purchasing that lakeside house.
