I'm pissed and disappointed and outraged on Bernie's behalf! And the media... don't get me started on the lamestream media who has been so unfair to him and been treating her like the anointed nominee since day one.

You think maybe Bernie is rethinking his decision to just not talk about those emails now?

Reminders like this about Hillary's corruption always leave me wondering how she garners the support that she does.
I appreciate Bernie's reluctance to get down in the mud with her. Even though I disagree with him politically, I think he's a decent person with the country's best interests at heart. I could never say that about Hillary.

I wish that we could reign in some of the ugliness of politics. I really don't think it reflects well on any of the candidates who utilize the tactic nor on our election process as a whole for allowing it.
And I too am fed up with the media, more so than ever this year. Trump & Clinton are not the only two candidates and they never have been. It pisses me off when the media insists on acting as if it is a given that these will be the 2 main choices. Particularly since they have been at since long before the primary elections even began.

Why Bernie can't win the general election
I read the article by HA Goodman about "dirty politics". But first I checked out who HA Goodman was. It didn't take long to figure out HA Goodman is an ardent Sanders supporter and he used the voting mess in AZ to write a hit piece against Hillary. One of many it seems. Anyway like I said I read the article. I was looking for solid examples of these "dirty politics" that have been used against Sanders in 2016. Apparently by Hillary. Finally found one. It was Bernie not getting support from the Democratic Party. On one level I wasn't surprised because Bernie isn't a Democrat. He was an independent who reregistered as a Democrat only for the reason to run for President. On one hand one would wonder what's the big deal but then to only register as a Democrat to run for president so you can take advantage of the political network already in place by the Democrats then its kind of like Sanders gaming the system to his advantage. I came across this article written by a guy named Michael Tomasky. He provides 2 reasons why he feels Sanders can't win the general election. The first reason explains why Bernie may not be getting the support of members of the DNC that Goodman thinks he should and it has a lot to do with the fact he isn't an "enrolled" Democrat. In other words many in the DNC feel Sanders hasn't paid his dues as a bonafide Democrat. And it had nothing to do with Hillary. The other reason is his weakness when it comes to Foreign policy. If Sanders gets the nomination and there should be another terrorist attack before the election in November the Republicans will tear him apart. I agree with this guy about Sanders and Foreign Policy. I felt this would be an issue for Sanders ever since he answered his first question about Foreign policy at the debate and nothing he has said since then has changed my mind. As to the first reason. I'm not surprised State and local party leaders may feel this way about Sanders. Everyone has to pay their dues. The article states while Hillary was raising money for her campaign she also raised $18M for the Democratic Party and Sanders has raised none for the Party. To be fair he has gone to Senate retreats to wine and dine big contributors but nothing that would help the party in general. And it would help explain why Hillary has as many super delegates that she does since they are made up of state and local party leaders. I think the article is a good read and the guy makes some good points. Of course I'm sure the Sanders supporters will vigorously disagree with this guy. But unfortunately I think he is spot on.
