A little gem especially this part:

[Mr. Morden]

Well, as long as she wins American Samoa, I guess it'll count as a moral victory.

[Knives]

So basically, subvert democracy.

[Ebsy]

Mindbogglingly stupid.

While it was more decisive than the 1976 Republican primary, it would be unlikely to get such a close contest again.

[Publius]

Totally plausible.  All that would need to happen:
1) The Clinton Campaign doesn't spend a penny.
2) Sanders wins New Hampshire
3) Clinton dies
4) Clinton's corpse endorses Bernie Sanders
5) Biden dies

Just goes to show that liberals can delude themselves just as well as conservatives.  These people are just as (if not more) cut off from reality as Republicans in 2012.

Revolutionaryds is a hilarious blog and I'm glad atlas finally got around to mocking it.

Thats what happens when you live in a bubble.

After reading over the entire article, its even funnier than I thought.

What do you think atlas Republicans?  Anybody have a love of avowed socialist Bernie Sanders?  The only way Sanders gets an advantage in open primaries is if Republicans try to sabotage the Democrats.

This was clearly written by someone who has no grasp on the politics of either Tennessee or Oklahoma.  In 2008, Clinton won these states by a 13 and 23 point margin respectively.

The  fact that this person would label Tennessee and Oklahoma as safe Sanders states merely because of their large number of rural whites betrays a fundamental lack of understanding of American politics.

Not happening.  Sanders is a self-described socialist, so he will get red-baited not just from outsiders, but from within the party as well.

[IceSpear]

Oh my god this is startlingly bad. Too bad the internet/blogosphere doesn't have a primary, Sanders would win every delegate! Then he'd face Ron Paul in the general election.

They then proceed to "prove" their point with Gallup charts, completely disregarding the fact that dozens of other pollsters were surveying the race, and the aggregate of all of them would be far more reliable than the findings of a single pollster. Nevertheless, even ignoring this fact, they still fail at proving their point, considering in the very chart they linked to, Obama was within the MoE against Clinton in June 2007! Contrast with June 2015, where Hillary is ahead by 40+ points nationally and in Iowa/South Carolina, and is still ahead double digits in New Hampshire even though her lead has narrowed there.

They conveniently stop talking about polling when discussing Hillary's enormous vulnerability in Iowa. Is that possibly because her biggest lead throughout ALL of 2007 was 6 points, and she currently leads there by 40+ points? Couldn't be.

This is as logical as saying they rejected Obama 62-38.

Wow, you've convinced me! That's why Hillary won it in 2008 and crushed Warren in polls there, right?

This can't be serious. Drawing an equivalence between Vermont and Oklahoma because they're both white and rural? LMFAO!

Talk about comparing apples and oranges. "OMG guys, Ron Paul surged from 2% in the national polls to 99% of the vote on the Daily Paul! HE'S INEVITABLE!!!!!"

[Likely Voter]

In the end I wonder what the distribution of Sanders voters will be between the delusional and those just casting a 'protest vote' in order to keep Hillary honest (more liberal).

What percent of Sanders supporters actually think he could win the nomination and win a general election vs. a non crazy GOPer.

[Blair]

It seems similar to the Labour leadership in the UK where tons of people are supporting Corbyn, and the internet seems to be screaming ' we want a real labour politician who will save us blah blah blah''. I don't understand the desire for 60+ socialists who stand no chance in the GE, and fail to accept that it's not the 1950's anymore (globalization guys)

I'd rather Hillary have a landslide primary rather than having to try and engage with Sanders supporters who much like the labour 'left' can't accept that governing is difficult

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Remember when Ron Paul fans did this in 2012 and kept on repeating the magic 'but delegates' line, long after the Paul campaign had pretty much fizzled out? Glad to see leftists can be just as delusional.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Bernie inhibited OMalley from mounting a serious campaign.

But, since there wont be a Dem primary, Sanders supporters wont support Jeb, they will go to Walker or Trump.
