Bernie Has To Unite the Party Behind Clinton -- or Someone Will Do It for Him Hillary HQ

Bernie says it's Hillary's job to unite Democrats behind her. There's only one thing wrong with Bernie's assumption that this is a party of two -- with him being the rogue opportunist. He can play the spoiler, dragging Hillary down at every opportunity, denying the math and threatening a floor fight at the convention because he is the real WINNER here. He can promise to overturn the popular vote, overturn the pledged delegates because he's going to win California by a landslide,

Bernie is a big talker and we're on record saying he has balls the size of Texas. Brass ones, too. Hardball.

The first time we saw Bernie take off his jacket and throw it into the crowd of adoring college supporters, we said "Oh no!" The second time, we knew the Cult of Bernie was building, and he was taking his rockstar status very seriously.

However, Sen. Sanders is about to get a reality check, because all these progressive groups AREN'T going to appreciate him willing to throw the nation to Trump and a Republican Congress. Sanders can say that Hillary must fly solo in an attempt to convince his supporters to vote for her.

Hillary Clinton will not be flying solo making her case to Berners.

He will find that even his adoring college women will get the Planned Parenthood message that they are one vote away from having their civil rights declared equal to that of a zygote. They are one vote away from Personhood Bills, and this has nothing to do with corporations and big money. The male majority Bernie Bros don't even know about Personhood bills, because they don't get pregnant and their Trump guy is on record saying men are not culpable in dealing with the legal problems around unplanned zygotes and unplanned pregnancies.

It's not only Planned Parenthood who will go to work on these young women, HWN will be deeply involved in giving them a real life education on what is about to go down.

Note that about 80% of those young women have already said they will vote for Hillary. And this is one result of a Trump victory -- having women's civil rights under the constitution no different than those of a 24-hr. old fertilized egg.

Senator Brass Balls is not the sole cult figure in this debate.

On the subject of unity . . .

"Bernie may think he’s a vital piece of the puzzle, but he’s not as important as he thinks. The number of people backing Bernie who will come to November and look at Hillary’s progressive campaign platform, who will hear the words of Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren, Sherrod Brown, Tammy Baldwin, and every other progressive in Congress and in state governments advocating for Hillary and stay home or vote for a third party candidate is an insignificantly tiny sliver of a shred of a fraction of a measly minority. The number of voters who are going to hear organized labor, environmental groups, groups and individuals dedicated to fighting for racial justice, women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, disabled rights, voting rights, campaign finance reform all speaking with one voice in favor of Hillary Clinton and still believe that she’s no better than Trump are a meaningless pool of dead end voters who Bernie himself couldn’t have brought along anyways. Bernie is not the only voice in the progressive choir, and he’s not the loveliest voice in that choir either. His options are to be a leader or to let someone else lead."

That person will be President Obama for starters, a leader not willing to sell women down the proverbial toilet -- because he has two daughters, a great wife, and -- unlike Sanders -- this REALLY YUUGE Democrat rockstar would not consider selling women (and unions, and people of color, and voting rights and, and, and . . . ) into a big, black hole because he lost the Democratic primary fair and square.

It's a lot of big talk. But the Rock Star's true character is on the line. And he owns his actions fair and square. We are so over BS intimidation! The rally for Hillary will be breathtaking. ~ Anne writing for HillaryWomen News FB

Do Superdelegates Have A Purpose?

Why We Need Those 'Anti-Democratic' Superdelegates Politico

We're startled that Bernie supporter Jeff Greenfield is making a solid case for the superdelegates. To critics of the process, supporters have a one-word answer: Trump.

We could add the caucus system that is highly discriminatory in favor of passionate people with a lot of time on their hands. The recent non-delegate-awarding major win for Hillary in the popular vote primary in Washington vs Bernie crushing her in the caucus with 25% of the primary turnout. That's not the 'will of the people' in action in Washington state.

Contradictory to how his buddy Bernie frames the issue of 'superdeleates' as the establishment elite over-ruling the people (which they have never done and Hillary wins under every scenario including eliminating the superdelegates), Greenfield sees them as a final brake on a process careening out of control. This is a major evolution for Greenfield -- based on his TV appearances -- in the last two months.

"There are some circumstances where the “will of the voters”—often the will of a plurality of voters—may well put the party on the road to a massive political defeat. Further, it may result in the nomination of a candidate who violates the most fundamental beliefs of that party. Or whose temperament and character might put a dangerous, unfit person into the Oval Office. Under those circumstances, the existence of a bloc of superdelegates means the presence of an “emergency brake,” a last chance to avoid disaster. And while it may be “undemocratic” in the narrowest sense of that term, our political system is replete with “undemocratic” elements that have served us very well."
