CommentaryMagazine: Bernie Sanders probably thought he really had a shot at this. After all, anyone who would proudly call themselves a democratic socialist in the midst of an earnest bid for the White House can fairly be considered a wide-eyed ideologue.
What began as a quixotic bid for the presidential nomination of a party to which he really doesn’t even belong suddenly became quite real as the Democratic Party’s progressive wing fully indulged their doubts about Barack Obama’s heir apparent. Heading into the first Democratic debate, Bernie Sanders was surging in the polls. He had handily overtaken Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire and appeared set to do the same in Iowa. Sanders stock was on the rise, and his campaign advisors surely inflated his ego in the process.
Maybe they reinforced the notion that the Democratic primary was a real contest and Sanders’ surge was the result of his stand on issues rather than a spasm of anxiety from the party’s predominantly white, self-described liberal minority. He entered that first debate confident that the force of his crotchety Brooklyn-bred personality would outshine the robotic, overly cautious Clinton. This conceit would prove to be Sanders’ downfall. more
Do the honorable thing, BS. I’ll even donate the autoerotic asphyxiation rig and the interracial pr0n mag.
Go live in Cuba you F’n Kommie….

At Bern’s age it takes a while to realize you’ve shot yer wad…
One of Satan’s lesser imps fades away.
Not so sad …
He’s probably a little relieved he’s getting out of this alive.
Bernie has that same expression as Jimmy Carter.
Go figure
The Mad Hatter has lost to the Vagina Monologues! Go back to the Wonderland Nursing Home Bernie and claim the bed next to Jimmah ‘The Chesire Cat Carter before Crazy Joe ‘Teapot’ Biden does!!

Thank you! And you. 😀
yes….it takes a while before the dinosaur realized it’s body no longer functions & it is dead…..pea-sized brain & all…..
I’ve noticed that the Bernie buzz from my lefty associates has really died down on Facebook. Also, conversations with Democrats have revealed a prevalent distaste for Hillary. Things could be looking up for us. Oh God, please…!
