Bernie Sanders holds on despite insurmountable odds.

Bernie Sanders, Eyeing Convention, Willing to Harm Hillary Clinton in the Homestretch

A stubborn old coot, the Bern is showing his irascibility.

Sore loser as I see it.

A spoiler of the Party pudding.

I have never warmed to him. I am not a Clinton lover but Bernie is not made of the stuff I want to support in the White House.

He is an old style Socialist. And that means angry. Pissed. Discontented.

These people make good gadflies but I think they would make lousy leaders.

I have known a lot of lefties and most of them are angry and determined to have their say and their revenge for not being taken seriously.

Look, I can out-liberal anyone when it comes down to it. But leadership style is another thing. What good are the principles if their are delivered in a vinegar base.

I am afraid we are seeing some personal issues breaking through here. The temper of a perennial loser.

It is great that he has made it this far. He has had his effect.

Now, be graceful about the inevitable. Embrace it. And hope for a cabinet position. Fat chance now.

As for the Democrats, today's primary in New York will be a kind of "sorting hat" moment for some of them..

Three New Yorkers, sort of. If you can't win your home state, well, sorry.

This is a charming assessment of three near NY candidates in today's NYTimes.

Clinton vs. Sanders vs. Trump: Who Is the True New Yorker?

This is the kind of 'Inside baseball" journalism that I really like.

The answer, spoiler alert, is likely Trump although Sanders would win on accent. Too bad he has not lived in the State for many years.

If it were up to me, I would vote for Bernie. Here is my favorite campaign ad. It gives me the goose bumps.

But it hardly sings "New York, New York".

A surprise for Hillary Clinton this morning.

Something, it is said, that she abhors.

Little Separates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton in Tight Race in Iowa

This should be interesting.

Who would have guessed that a yawner would turn out to be a tight race for the Democrats.

Of course, Iowa is just a small sample of what lies ahead.

We do live in interesting times.

Well, I do anyway.

I am not sure that this affects my outlook yet. I did not want to vote for Hillary. An aversion. But then I get to the question of whether Sanders can win in the General.

I thought not, but then there are surprises all along life's path.

Maybe this is another one of those times.

Put me down as undecided but ready to jump on any bandwagon that passes.

Bernie Sanders is an upstart.

And that is much of his appeal.

For me, one thing, he is not a Clinton. Or any other establishment Democrat.

It is interesting that both major parties are infested with upstart candidates. Men, and women, who do not fit the party mold.

The case for Bernie Sanders: Is it time to get rid of the prevent defense?

Four compelling reasons that Sanders has a chance. And a good one.

The article is addressed to the Bernie leaners. I am one. And I am about to tip over.

For some reason, I cannot forget his ad. You can see it below or, what the hell, a first. Watch it here again.

Who can resist Simon and Garfunkle?

And now, Bernie Sanders. I love the smile.

If this is what the Sanders campaign can do, well, I am with them.

This is superb in all respects.

Try not to be moved by it.

I love the energy between the two of them. Look at her smile.

I am liking this election more and more.

The Clintons could not come up with something like this if they paid a million dollars for it. The heart is not there.

I am not going to get a vote in the Republican Primary.

I wish I could, even as a spoiler.

But I could not even temporarily change my affiliation. My father would sway my hand. A lifelong Democrat and local political guy, there is no other party.

But I am restless. I am irritable. I am discontent. The Clintons are back and, as usual, Hillary is doing the things that piss people off. Unnecessarily.

They plot and twist and evade. They play politics where there is or should be no need.

Clinton Campaign Underestimated Sanders Strengths, Allies Say

They cannot see beyond their own entitled noses.

I am not a fan of Sanders either. I really do not go along with a lot of his "positions" and I do not much like to watch him talk or speak.

He gives me the creeps.

So, I have become part of the vast number of alienated Democrats.

I was a Joe Biden fan; aware that all the baggage Joe has or had would keep him from the throne.

But he got blindsided by life. He lost his son Beau Biden and he has not recovered. That smile is banked way down.

I see Obama holding him. Hugging him. But the happy warrior is not there now.

I still have my "cup of Joe" mug in the bathroom. It holds my toothbrushes so I see him every day.

I did buy a Hillary bumper sticker though. Four fucking dollars.

I used it to paste over an offensive anti-Clinton sticker a neighbor has/had on his car. He took the Hillary off then I started to peel the sticker itself. It is half off now. I work at it in the dark of night.

So I am combative. But I am not happy.

I am never happy when the Clintons are running things. They are a pox on our Party and I figure I will not see it put back together again in my lifetime.

A lot of people I know do not like Hillary.

And these are committed Democrat type people.

So many are glad that Bernie Sanders is running.

Me too.

Bernie Sanders Surpasses Hillary Clinton In New Hampshire Poll

Yeh.

Someone is saying "it's only New Hampshire".

Yes it is. Indeedy deed.

It says here that if you watch this video for three minutes, he will have your vote.

He does have a message. Very direct.

I am warming up to Bernie Sanders.

Read this.

Bernie Sanders Draws Big Crowds to His ‘Political Revolution’

I am even beginning to believe he has more than a ghost of a chance.

He is certainly going to push Ms. Clinton to the left.

Or at least be a big fat pain in the ass for her. She will not be able to hide out which seems to be her present mode.

Unlike James Webb, who took a small plunge, Sanders has charisma. Not the usual kind. Not the Clinton kind.

He is a Socialist. Not a Democrat. But Socialists cannot be elected to high office in this country. The booboisie has it that anything socialist is communist and that is that. A red.

This might be my last Presidential election.

Well, I hope it is not but you never know. In that case, I want it to be at least fun.

And that is the biggest thing about the Clintons. They are not fun. Obama was fun. Biden is a lot of fun.

The Clintons have no joy. And Hillary the least.
