Everyone can agree that Bernie's revolution/policies are very Socialist-like, right? Hopefully I'm not the only one. That's why he is probably having so much trouble appealing to the true democrats.

Bernie running as a Democrat is the most lacking-in-integrity political decisions in this election, on either side. I find it odd how he is vetting for their nomination and will openly bash them and even go on to sue them. There's not a snowball's chance in hell Bernie is going to get that many super delegates to switch, and honestly, he doesn't deserve them because they are meant to help protect and ensure the party.
I think a party must make its own rules upon deciding their candidate. However, caucauses must GO, it's so outdated, I think primaries are the only way to go, either open, semi open, or closed.
That also depends on the state itself, what are the tendencies of said state, I don't think an open primary is bad, no president wins without the support of the independents.
But then we would go to another discussion, our mechanism to elect the president is also outdated.
Bernie: "I think America should get a pony."
Hillary: "How will you pay for the pony? Where will the pony come from? How will you get Congress to agree to the pony?"
Bernie: "Hillary thinks America doesn't deserve a pony."
Bernie Supporters: "Hilary hates ponies!"
Hillary: "Actually, I love ponies."
Bernie Supporters: "She changed her position on ponies! #WhichHillary #WitchHillary"
Headline: HILLARY REFUSES TO GIVE EVERY AMERICAN A PONY.
Debate Moderator: "Hillary, how do you feel when people say you lie about ponies?"

And, no one has the right to be shocked if Bernie wins tomorrow because the polls literally have them neck in neck!!
Win what? Win certain states maybe but absolutely no chance he wins the delegate count. She's definitely extending her lead some more. It's now about extending it to the point where she's safe from the 11 state stretch of losses if she were to lose, somehow, by huge margins

Bernie isn't going to win tomorrow. Hilary has massive leads in the most important state, delegate-wise, Florida. She also has a massive lead in North Carolina. Whether she wins or loses IL, OH, and/or MO, she will have a higher net gain in Delegates than Bernie. Which means Bernie loses tomorrow. At this point, he's 83% on track for the nomination and Hillary is 114% on track. Bernie needs big wins, and the projected results don't give him the wins necessary to cause a shift in this race.

I thought it was more that it isn't really that clear-set how it will happen on top of the Republican-controlled Congress. Unless that's what you're saying.
Seen some discussion here on whether a particular Presidential candidate is a homophobe or not.
Considering that topic, I think there are actually real homphobes out there and they host events that have GOP Presidential candidates as guest speakers. This event happened a few months ago, and as you can see the host and interviewer is quite clearly publicly and passionately talking about Gays been killed for their sins as scripturally justified by the Bible. He then interviews GOP establishment front-runner, Ted Cruz!
How is this association with such a homophobe not more of an issue for Ted Cruz? Is the GOP now synonymous with hating on the homosexuals that such associations are just standard? Is this actually an asset for Ted Cruz rather than a liability due to the GOP voter base?

Not you using "true democrats" like that tho
I see so many people on Facebook page, "Hey, y'all, make sure you register as Democrat just so you can vote for Bernie so he can beat Hillary!!!"
That's not a true Democrat... By any stretch. That's just an independent that has progressive leanings, just like Bernie.

I don't think people that vote for GOP candidates make LGBTQ issues that much of a concern... Even if you are gay and a Republican (yes, they exist), LGBTQ issues aren't really one of your key issues.

Bingo, sadly. The GOP has really honed in on targeting voters who traffic in hate, and do not seem to understand/respect the separation of church and state.
However, that's why the GOP has only turned to Cruz to stop what's coming - most Republican senators/governors hate him, as he is Evangelical to a fault. The party knows/knew that in a traditional year, he is not electable.
Are they talking to Independents or just reminding people that they need to be "democrat" to even vote in that party (as oppose to just voting)?
I mean I feel insulted at the premise that I wouldn't be a true democrat because I agree with Sanders more.
Agreeing with Sanders' views doesn't really factor you out of being a true Democrat. Typically, when analysts (or myself and/or others) use that phrase in regards to Sanders, it's people that are only registering Democrat to vote for Sanders alone.

But I feel like although us Hillary supporters see that as winning, everyone else see's it as losing if she can't pick up at least 1/3 midwestern states.
Didn't Hillary take like all the big states from Obama in 08' and still lost the nomination? Places like NY, FL, CA, OH, TX? So what's the big deal if she loses Ohio tomorrow? At the end of the day she will most likely strech her delegate count even further...
