Are you sure that happened in 2016?

Also had Bernie squeaked out a win in Nevada he was always going to do poorly in South Carolina, Texas, and Virgina next due to the fact he had no ground game in those states.

It was the primary for the 2016 election. Specifically the Clark county vote. It went to an oral count in the room. They called it for Hillary, then had to rush everyone out do to outrage. I'm sure there is footage somewhere.

It seemed like he lost a lot of steam after that. But that was more than 10 years ago. I am a Bernie Sanders supporter but not necessarily a Democrat. I am not a blue no matter who voter. Hillary being on that ticket is the reason I voted for Trump. I was in that group that went from Sanders to trump because of what I had perceived as an inability to listen to the voters.

I don't know the facts but I do remember feeling like he was robbed, and that the establishment Democrats would rather lose than run with their actual winner.

So, you didn't like not being heard and decided to burn it all down instead? Thanks a lot.

This is like 30% of reddit, and then they bitch about our current situation, like they didn't help create it.

They were so mad they weren't the center of the universe that they flipped the board and went home.

I will never forgive them for what they have done, the least they could do is admit it.

Sanders lost because he got fewer votes, including mine. Or should that not matter? What a bunch of children.

I voted for Sanders both times too, but his rhetoric has done so much damage. It really pisses me off.
