Well, it looks like it’s not over until the fat lady… loses again? Sanders is taking a page from Obama 2008. I have a feeling Hillary is rather unhappy right now. And the more he can push her to the left, the easier to beat her, and the better for the country.
Bernie Sanders on Sunday marked the one-year anniversary of his bid for the White House by vowing that the Democratic convention will be “contested,” despite Hillary Clinton’s wide lead in pledged and overall delegates.
“It’s virtually impossible for Secretary Clinton to reach the majority of convention delegates by June 14 with pledged delegates alone,” the Vermont senator told reporters at the National Press Club in Washington.
The convention will be held in Philadelphia in July, after the final nominating contest in Washington, D.C., on June 14.
“The evidence is extremely clear that I would be the stronger candidate to defeat Trump or any other Republican,” Sanders said of the Republican front-runner Donald Trump. He cited several polls showing him doing better than Clinton in a hypothetical head-to-head contest against the real estate magnate.

Rich Galen a GOP press secretary to Dan Quayle wrote a piece “The five Stages of Trump.” It is based on the Five Stages of Grief. Both political parties took the voters for granted over the years assuming they had no where else to go. This year will be the year of the outsider. Maybe after this the parties will quit taking their voters for granted and actually listen to them.
This certainly is an entertaining campaign season on both sides.
