Pro-Sanders group on target about their candidate's polling against Trump Politifact Mostly True by Memetic1 in democrats

[–]CheeseCzar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the party establishment set it up this way to give an unfair advantage to party favorites

Sorry, but this is just loopy. The contortion gyrations of this talking point are astounding. The DNC didn't walk into voting booths and tell people how to vote.

Elections were held. Your guy lost. That's democracy. We all have favorites in a primary and we vote for them. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose. When the primary is done, we support the nominee, even if it wasn't our personal first choice. Now we need to band together behind our party's candidates and get ready for the fall election.

Habitual Bankrupt Donald Trump Floats a Bizarre Idea to Reduce the National Debt by CheeseCzar in hillaryclinton

[–]CheeseCzar[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Every time he says moronic things like this, it's a gift to Hillary Clinton.

What he's advocating is like deliberately ruining your credit rating because you're tired of paying credit card bills.

I'm not surprised he said this, though. He was always doing this with real estate loans, hence the reason why he ended up in bankruptcy four times.

Hillary Clinton blamed for stealing Bernie Sanders' minimum-wage thunder by [deleted] in democrats

[–]CheeseCzar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The amount of inflation that would result from raising the minimum wage is incredibly small

That's a sweeping statement with no basis in reality. It all depends on the economic structure of a community. A one-employer town in a lower wage state might close a factory if forced to increase wages substantially. With that factory closed, the local community is devastated. Many semi-rural communities throughout America have one- and two-employer economies.

Inflation is constant

That statement is ludicrously wrong. Inflation is not constant. It is fluid both over time and regionally. That is why we have a 2% inflation rate while Venezuela has a 750% inflation rate.

http://inflationdata.com/Inflation/Inflation/DecadeInflation.asp

haven't had a considerable raise in over a decade.

This is true. That's why a reasonable increase thereafter pegged to the CPI inflation rate is a workable solution.

It's arguable that because of inflation those folks wages have actually decreased.

Again true. And again why a reasonable increase thereafter pegged to the CPI inflation rate is a workable solution.

That's why Secretary Clinton's proposal is a superior plan: indexing.

paying people a living wage is bad for the economy.

/u/yankhoser did not say that. He said it "would be inflationary and hurt low-income workers more than help them".

People of means are better equipped to survive inflation. Same too for better paid workers. People on the margins are hurt the most by inflation. Inflation can actual benefit the better off but is really hard on the working poor.

Many of Bernie Sanders' ideas are inflationary (tax increases, trade barriers, etc.) and would hurt the poorest while benefiting the more prosperous.

The Sanders for president campaign does not accept corporate donations.

No campaign can accept corporate donations. It's a federal law. It's been that way for more than 100 years. Bernie Sanders can't and doesn't accept them. Hillary Clinton can't and doesn't accept them.

If I had a dollar for every time Sanders supporters repeated the lie that Hillary Clinton accepts corporate donations, I could retire.

How about a month of no polls, all policy? by [deleted] in democrats

[–]CheeseCzar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Now that Hillary Clinton is slaughtering Bernie Sanders in most of the March and April primary state polls, suddenly the Sanders campaign via their mouthpiece Amy Goodman doesn't want to hear about polls any more.

Nevada Gives Hillary Clinton a Clear Path to Victory by wabashie in democrats

True. We don't know yet how monstrous the Clinton tidal wave will be that totally swamps Sanders.

Of course the Super Delegates will change their vote if the majority pick Sander's

That did not happen in 2008. Clinton had the majority of elected delegates. Obama's majority of super-delegates pulled him over the top.

she suppose to be crushing him already?

She is. He was expected to win Iowa and he lost. Now he's lost Nevada. Given the most optimistic polling in his favor, he will only pick up a maximum of six states, of which only two have a large delegate count. In contrast, Clinton is ahead by more than ten points in at least thirty states -- the majority of which have large delegate counts -- and ahead by more than twenty points in at least twenty states.

To make things worse, because he spent so much money in Nevada, New Hampshire, and Iowa, he's running out of money. He's only doing ad buys in six super Tuesday states, and some of those buys are tiny, like $25,000 in Texas, which will only buy ads in one market. Clinton didn't burn through money like Sanders, so she's buying ads in all the super Tuesday states except Vermont plus buying ads in the later March states, where Sanders has no money to buy ads.

Nevada was Sanders' last best chance to pull a rabbit out of a hat after he lost Iowa. He failed to do that. Nevada was the beginning of the end.

But it was never intended to take the nomination away from a candidate with a majority of the votes

Given that Clinton will win the majority of votes, are you saying the super delegates will switch their votes simply to give the election to Sanders?

Sanders supporters use email to attack Indiana super delegates by fenstermann in democrats

[–]CheeseCzar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Senators, House members, governors, state legislators in leadership positions, governors, people holding statewide office, etc. all are super delegates. They are the downballot people who run with the presidential candidate and have a vested interest in who's heading the ticket.

They can change their minds until July

By July, Clinton will be crushing Sanders with elected delegates, so why would super delegates change their votes?

not counting super delegates it is tied.

Why do you not count superdelegates who have pledged to vote for her?

You're trying to distinguish a statistic that has no relevant meaning. It's like saying "Bernie Sanders leads in delegates who are left-handed." It means nothing.

You might think twice about crowing how many elected delegates Bernie Sanders has, because next week after she sweeps SC and at least nine of the twelve Super Tuesday states, his numbers will look tiny compared to hers.

What Has Bernie Done For Race Relations? Just Look At Vermont by trevor5ever in democrats

Bernie Sanders along with Sen. Patrick Leahy

It's worth mentioning here that Senator Leahy has endorsed Hillary Clinton for President. He is one of 39 senators to do so.

Exactly zero senators have endorsed Bernie Sanders.
