Will advocating that super-delegates vote for Bernie be allowed? jg10003 Jun 2016 #400

Skinner: If Hillary Clinton has trouble with the law i.e., investigation, FBI, DOJ and she is bkkyosemite Jun 2016 #402

okay, so I have one week left to bash people here. Bucky Jun 2016 #403

I would hope so. rug Jun 2016 #420

Generally speaking, I think the terms of service are not well understood... CBHagman Jun 2016 #417

My prediction.... Gary Johnson and Jill Stein alittlelark Jun 2016 #452

Well Jill Stein should not be discussed in the GE Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #459

As I read it, advocacy for Stein is barred but that doesn't mean she can't be discussed. Jim Lane Jun 2016 #473

Advocated for here... no. mwooldri Jun 2016 #474

I agree nt Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #489

Your fatal flaw like most anti Hillary people here is that you think your opinion is matched by a upaloopa Jun 2016 #486

Not going to happen. Johnson got 1% in 2012, Stein got a total of 450k votes TwilightZone Jun 2016 #630

This is very disappointing, I feel that you are trying to direct the discussion in favor of Hilary. DrewFlorida Jun 2016 #463

How is it possible for Bernie to win? kerry-is-my-prez Jun 2016 #470

pretty much the only way he can is for the FBI to recommend an indictment before the convention AntiBank Jun 2016 #585

Nope, Skinner and DU always try to direct discussion in favor of the Democratic nominee. stevenleser Jun 2016 #584

June 16 is too soon. GE mode should be for when we have a nominee - which will be in July. Betty Karlson Jun 2016 #563

The AP will call the election by June 7, when Hillary wins the majority pnwmom Jun 2016 #565

superdelegates will not be committed until July. If the AP wants to presume a lot, Betty Karlson Jun 2016 #623

Superdelegates are committed whenever they decide that they're committed. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #662

The AP doesn't "lean" any way. They'll be following their STANDARD procedure. pnwmom Jun 2016 #664

Maybe I will come by more often. JNelson6563 Jun 2016 #567

I'd be happy to explain nyabingi Jun 2016 #707

"if we're unfortunate enough for her to become president" obamanut2012 Jun 2016 #621

It would be unfortunate for either to be president nyabingi Jun 2016 #706

Yeah, that isn't what that statement means obamanut2012 Jun 2016 #708

Why is there no paragraph about what criticism will and will not be allowed for Bernie? cui bono Jun 2016 #670

Interesting. H2O Man Jun 2016 #672

The tos say that we're allowed to be liberal. That will conflict starkly with Mrs Clinton's views Doctor_J Jun 2016 #690
