He just did.

He didn't endorse until after in order to maintain some impartiality; if he had endorsed before some might have attributed her win to his endorsement instead.

True. I mean he ended up helping her anyway

I wouldn't characterize their anger as reckless or misguided on either side - nor would I characterize support for Bernie in that way. The anger in the GOP base is split into two factions; one is understandable and deals with their values, and that is directed toward Cruz. The other is recklessly and harmfully directed as support toward Trump and his rhetoric, his modus operandi. His candidacy is bolstered by what amounts to a cancer on the GOP; ignorance, willingness to support nebulous and undefined policy, and xenophobia.

Bernie support on the other hand comes from a place of hopefulness within that frustration. We're not doing enough for the poor, we're not doing enough for universal healthcare, and we're allowing our elections to be gerrymandered and financially rigged to hell and back in such a way that the Republicans are winning when they honestly should not be winning. While I don't agree with the methods or the candidate, the actual anger itself is healthy - we need to address these issues anyway, and bringing them to such a prominent stage as the DNC, where Bernie WILL speak at this point even if his hopes for the nomination are quickly fading, is important. It is beneficial.

But note also that Hillary is a brilliant politician and a ridiculously qualified, good candidate for the office of the Presidency; that's why she's holding up where figures like Jeb have failed. That's why she's still the undeniable frontrunner while the GOP establishment is now frantically, and perhaps futilely, attempting to unite behind Rubio. She's infinitely stronger than all of them, and in my opinion she's the strongest non-incumbent Presidential candidate that either party has had in a ridiculous amount of time (though I hesitate place a solid year amount on it). Virtually all other candidates except maybe Biden would have been steamrolled by a populist wave supporting Sanders or Warren.

nn Hillary was on Steve Harvey's show today.

She's going all out for South Carolina and the rest of the black states

I agree 100%. Bernie Bros seem VERY angry at not only Hillary but also at her supporters.

Hillary has been constantly attacking Bernie and throwing him under the bus every chance she gets. Bernie goes out of his way to AVOID attacking her

Of course every candidate has issues; no one is perfect. But I'll take Bernie's carry-on any day over Hillary's multiple suitcases

Perched for ha first double digit win somewhere

You cant be serious

Hillary didn't even mention Bernie until she realized how much he was attacking her. She even confronted him at a debate and said if he had anything to say then say it to her face.

Stay delusional I guess

Link to these attacks? There's a difference between attacking and telling the truth

I quite honestly still find it ridiculous to talk about a candidate's supporters rather than the candidate her/himself. Yes, Trump has some supporters that disagreed with Lincoln's executive action against slavery but that doesn't represent Trump. Yes, Bernie has some sexist supporters (so did Obama btw) as well as "angry" (I absolutely HATE that word) but that doesn't define Bernie (at least not in the context 'angry' is labeled here). I don't find it beneficial to go out of our way to talk about candidates' supporters unless, of course, we're addressing a certain occurrence or responding to a certain claim.

It's scary that nearly 75% of SC Republican voters want to ban Muslims, but that's an ACTUAL policy that DOES represent a Republican candidate who's blatantly calling for it, ya know what I mean?

just watch any of his rallies. basically saying that interest groups are buying her votes.

Almost everything FDR proposed - Medicare, a minimum wage - was called socialist. Yet these programs have become the fabric of our nation.

Drag them

But on the other hand, isn't it entirely legitimate to discuss how widespread support for a candidate is and why?

Obviously simply dismissing Bernie's supporters as angry know-nothings is stupid and invalidates their opinions, but to examine, for example, a relationship between Trump's policy proposals and his supporters isn't really out of the question, in my opinion.

I mean, I wrote a long post involving all of this and the "anger" perception on the last page and it went largely ignored - I feel that was substantial and useful analysis, unlike perhaps some of the other comments in here dealing mainly with Bernie, Hillary, and their supporters.

Yeah! Even Hillz was labeled as a socialist when she was FLOTUS calling for healthcare. Right-wingers keep doing the most against social programs, it's quite amusing.

I don't think attacks and truth are mutually exclusive

Any bets on Hillary going on Wendy Williams?

No yeah I totally get what you mean but I just don't think it should be used as a point against a candidate or their campaign if it isn't in the campaign's agenda. It's kind of a given to have found racist Hillary supporters in 2008 because she was running against Obama, it's kind of a given you'd find anti-black xenophobes supporting Trump, who called for a ban on Muslims and Mexicans, but in both cases, it isn't and should not be a point against the respective campaigns.
