Cruz wins, less than 10 votes seperate Hillary and Bernie. Fun stuff.
Is there a precedent for a race in any primary being that close!? Holy crap.

If Sanders eventually does lose to Clinton, I do hope he will convince his followers to shift to Clinton. The country can't afford for Clinton to lose the precious Sanders bloc and give the election away to the GOP.
I don't remember wishing for anything other than the execution of the electoral process. You were the one advocating for your candidate to be coronated.Well, Chalkus, looks like you got your wish:

I had hoped they could be the adults in this whole thing. Silly me...
Chalkus, if Cruz, Rubio, and Carson are top choices in the party according to the pools... then there's a problem. Cruz is for one unlikable the more spotlight he has, Rubio is more right-wing than he looks underneath, and Carson well... yeah. ANY of these guys make Clinton the more reasonable chance since she's a moderate especially since she says that she'll continue with Obama's policies.
Also Cruz was asked by a voter what can he replace ACA with since his brother-in-law got health insurance thanks to the ACA. Well, Cruz isn't just heartless but he has no soul...

That would hardly be Sanders' fault though. When candidates make election promises, they are made under the assumption that Congress is willing. Sanders can't speak on behalf of Congress.
This post makes it more glaringly obvious how biased you are.
"Hillary is the frontrunner so every Democrat is a hypocrite." I wish that was me exaggerating and not paraphrasing.
Of course the Repubs will be more negative and the Dems more positive. The Dems are trying to stay in power, to paint a bleak picture would mean disavowing Obama. Similarly, the Repubs will go all doom and gloom in their quest of unseating the Dems from the White House. Not sure why this surprises you. The Dems were the ones after the Bush years talking about the failed policies of the past and the foreign wars (you know, the very policies and wars they expanded).Jim Webb's 'joke' and Chaffee's bungled response were no way close to the raving "rah-rah war, war, Obama sucks, Obamacare bad, rah-rah, Praise Jesus!, build military" dialogue from the right-wing. It's the most negative messages ever - nobody is saying anything positive or substantiative.
You've been talking about Rubio a lot lately. Worried, perhaps? Because if Hillary is having problems with Bernie and needs minority voters to beat him, what will happen against Rubio when he takes some of those voters away?Rubio is pathetic. The Bobby Jindal of Latinos - dude thinks we're in the Cold War or something. Rubio is probably secretly gay too for Obama, seeing he couldn't make one sentence without mentioning his name somewhere. Christie just rants all day and is incredibly disrespectful to the President and anyone. Cruz is way too right-wing for anyone, and even his own party dislikes him. Carson's head must have gotten messed up from inhaling anesthesia from one too many surgeries. Bush literally states he supports Super PACs and attack ads and that type of campaigning. He also thinks somehow the country was better off in 2008 than in 2015 - LOL.
The Dems conduct themselves infinity times more with decorum in the debates and public spotlight than the Repubs.
Bernie wants to start "a political revolution," which starts with him getting elected as President but inspires other similarly minded people to get elected in other political institutions. He also very openly blames the Congress for the current situation, especially the Republicans. He outright rants about the Congress being in Wall Street's pocket.No, as Hillary Clinton herself eluded to, over promising is the fault of the one making declarations of grandeur. Sanders has to present a realistic way over achieving his agenda. If he knows the Repubs will not go along with his agenda and that they will have the House and perhaps the Senate for the foreseeable future, to engage in talk of reforming healthcare, taking on billionaires and making college free without having a clear path to that goal is irresponsible.
As usual, you guys completely misuse the word bias. For me to have been bias, I would have needed to bash the Dems while heaping praises on the Repubs (sort of the reverse of what many of you have engaged in). However, I never once extoled the Repubs in the slightest. Perhaps the bias you seek can be found in the mirror?
I've said it before an dI will say it again, if you guys took the time to analyze what I post instead of getting upset, you will see the truth staring you in the face. Because there is not a single criticism of Hillary of Obama that I have made that was not true. Yet many of you will ignore it simply because they are on your side. Yet if they were truly on your side, they would work to appease your sentiments instead of going against them at their convenience. To ignore this means being doomed to infinite repetition.

My point is that each side has its problems. However, you seem hell bent on making the Repubs look downright atrocious while putting your side on a pedestal. You'll only set yourself up for disappointment doing so.
You've been talking about Rubio a lot lately. Worried, perhaps? Because if Hillary is having problems with Bernie and needs minority voters to beat him, what will happen against Rubio when he takes some of those voters away?
Interesting you say that. You do realize that the Hillary campaign recently declared that Sanders was running the most negative campaign of all time? How do you explain that?
How do you know he would be a terrible president? Because he's a Republican? He might not make the decisions you would be in favor with, but it is impossible to tell how he would lead, jsut like it was impossible to know about Obama in 08. Your take on Rubio seems based purely on conjecture and partiality.Yeah, I am concerned since Rubio would be a terrible President.
Nah, Hillary won't have a problem with that. She'll pick Julian Castro as her VP. Not to mention Rubio loses a lot of immigrants due to the fact that he cowardly backed away from immigration reform when it got too difficult.

A top adviser to Hillary Clinton is accusing Bernie Sanders of running the “most negative” Democratic primary campaign in history.
“I think, in fact, he’s probably running the most negative campaign of any Democratic presidential candidate … in a presidential primary season, yes,” said Joel Benenson, Clinton’s senior campaign strategist.
“He’s running fundamental attacks and he’s going out on the stump and raising issues about her personally and her character and [that] of other Democrats as well,” he continued on CNN.
“I think he’s kind of ‘feeling the Bern’ as he’s getting more scrutiny,” Benenson added, mocking a slogan used by supporters of the Vermont senator.
“It seems like once you’re not with him, you become a vocal point of his attacks. I do think it’s been extremely negative and I think it’s unfortunate.”

I don't know if he would send ground troops in unilaterally. But whether he wants to or not, he may have to change the current strategy. The Air Force is running out of bombs to drop.Rubio wants to spend even more on the military when it's absolutely not necessary. Rubio will very likely send ground troops into the Middle East into another pointless expensive conflict that'll get Americans killed. Despite touting his modest roots, Rubio's economic policies only favor the wealthy. Rubio will eliminate Obamacare, leaves millions without health insurance, and let healthcare be run by insurance companies. Rubio rejects climate change. Rubio is 100% pro-life and wants to defund PP because abortions happen there. Rubio is against LGBT marriage and rights. Rubio thinks common sense gun legislation is tyrannical.
I'm sorry. He might be youthful and charismatic, but this dude sounds like he would be a terrible President. Unless, once again, sleazeball Rubio will say whatever politically expedient statement to his particular crowd to get votes.
Oh...you meant that. C'mon, you know what I'm talking about is presentation. Look at the town hall tonight. Both Sanders and Clinton were respectful of each other and politely disagreed. In the Republican circus, there would have been name-calling, outrageous statements, and every other sentence would be false proclamations of the apocalypse that this country is supposedly in.
I honestly feel the whole election has turned into a lame reality TV show, and I'm really not looking forward to it intensifying as the year progresses...
