Um, of the truly open primaries, Hillary's won 11 to Bernie's 4. Just putting this out there.

Almost all of the Southern states are open primaries, and we know how that went

This is irrelevant though because America has spoken, and they have said they want Hillary to be the Democratic nominee.

Nah you know what I'm good on all that! He's a straight up demagogue!

Everything about his speeches, from the fact that he is "us vs them", constructs false dichotomies and judges people by them to condemn them as part of the corrupt "they", and all the blame-speeching is, from the ground up, painting lurid pictures of "The Other", which preys on fundamental social instincts of defense and attack. It's very psychologically toxic.

And then there's no constructive system of logic in his speeches, about how to unify, build things or work out a problem solution. He never even addresses it. Like when he was asked by the NY daily how he would break up a big bank, he had no answer. And this was more than a year into his campaign/stump speeches.

He creates stress, persecutory anxieties, feelings of victimization, fear and injustice in his campaign speeches and then in the moment of anxiety, directs the focused hatred of negative energy it to some organization or real person who is his enemy at the moment.

It's terrifying how easy it is for him to brainwash his core base with fantastical and none-sensical statements and illogical calls for action. You summed it all up perfectly.

Type	Clinton	Sanders
Primaries
Open Primary	11	4
Semi-open Primary	1	0
Semi-closed Primary	2	4
Closed Primary	10	2
Caucuses
Open Caucus	0	3
Semi-open Caucus	1	1
Semi-closed Caucus	1	0
Closed Caucus	3	6

Hillary undeniably does better the more open the contest is. Washington and Nebraska are both counted both times in the above table to provide their voters fair consideration.

I was reading this post as part of Archetype's quote, and I read the bold part first. I seriously thought you were talking about Donald Trump I didn't even realize until I went to your original post that you were speaking about Bernie It's crazy how similar those two are

Thats because they're the same!

Sanders, like Trump, has been using the rhetoric of hate and functioning off extremely seductive conspiracy-theory memes and propaganda tactics targeting young people and disaffected white males, for months now. (Sound familiar??) He's not someone with constructive ideas for what to do if he gets elected; he wants to burn "the establishment" down. (Again, familiar right?) And if he can't win the Democratic primary and do it as a Democrat, he's going to target the Democratic party as the closest thing to an establishment he can upend and tear down. (Hmmm!)

People don't use the kind of psychological alienation and blaming rhetorical tactics, that both Sanders & Trump use, if they plan to build something constructively. They use those tactics when they target something destructively.

Hillary's weighted average in just open primaries is 59.17%. Her weighted average in all Democratic contests to date is 54.16%.

The protesters were holding a sign with this website on it: http://www.pslweb.org/ It's a socialist website. These ARE Bernie people

The "tied" thing is such crap. The contest count is 27 to 21, or 29 to 21 with the unfairly discredited primaries Hillary won.

Me too but I still have faith he'll win everyone over by not compromising for what he believes in and also making sure Trump doesn't get elected. It may be after DC though
