Christ Christie's Wordless Screaming
I believe that Donald Trump was talking, tonight, and that he, in fact, held an entire press conference. But it was impossible to hear him over Chris Christie’s eyes.
Chris Christie spent the entire speech screaming wordlessly. I have never seen someone scream so loudly without using his mouth before. It would have been remarkable if it had not been so terrifying.

Much to the chagrin of Clinton fans, Sanders is in for the long haul as he has raised $43 million dollars with average donations being $27 Sanders beat expectations last nite and MA was basically a tie as Clinton's margin was less than 1%, and Colorado and Minnesota had record breaking participation.
Hopefully Sanders can pressure Clinton to change the channel and make some committments that will actually gelp average Americans as opposed to her buddies on Wall Street and the Petagon.
What can Sanders do now to start picking up more delegates for the balance of the campaign?

Lets remove the superdelegates and just use the delegates which were won by voting in the primaries and caucuses from the mix for now which shows a much closer race
And my hunch is if Sanders ended up with more delegates chosen by the primary and caucus votes, superdelegates would switch and support the real winner otherwise the GOP would have a ready made attack ad saying Clinton was not democratically elected.
Clinton - 576 or 60%
Sanders - 386 or 40%

Dem

Donald Trump's son gave an interview to a pro-slavery host
Donald Trump’s oldest son gave a 20-minute interview last weekend to a radio host who once wrote that slavery is the best thing that ever happened to African-Americans.
James Edwards — who is host of a radio show called “Political Cesspool” that has hosted leaders of the Ku Klux Klan, Holocaust deniers and neo-Nazis — spoke with Donald Trump Jr. in an interview that will air Saturday, according to a recent blog post.
Edwards once wrote, “For blacks in the Americas, slavery is the greatest thing that ever happened to them. Unfortunately, it’s the worst thing that ever happened to white Americans,” Edwards wrote on his blog, citing a piece he said he read in the Jamaican Observer, however, the link he provided did not work.

Let's be clear. If Sanders was a bit younger he would win, as his age is his biggest disadvantage for many voters. Sanders was working against racism long before it became popular to do so.

If it's a fact that Sanders doesn't resonate with black voters, is there a reason for that -- aside from his whiteness?

So far he has been focusing primarily on the class war between the rich and the poor. Targeting minority groups, addressing their specific issues can be helpful as well. And he should be showing strong support for women as well. I noticed he is now staring to have Jane his wife speak out which is helpful as she appears to be quite articulate.

Here is an article which attempts to explain it but...........
Also Clinton even though she ran against Obama wraps herself around the President, and black Democrats love their black President. And so do many other Democrats of course. Clinton even wraps herself around Sanders' popular ideas at least for the election campaign. Clinton is the consummate establishment insider with a lot of clout and favours to distribute, as opposed to Sanders who is an outsider.
Despite the chorus of boos from a disappointed crowd, organizers failed to regain control of the event, prompting Sanders to cancel the speech and leave the premises. The disruption only lasted four and a half minutes, but that’s all it took for Sanders—an active participant in the 1960s civil rights movement and a proponent of reforming the country’s racially biased criminal justice system—to become "just another out-of-touch old white dude" in the eyes of many African Americans.

So for the next 13 days the Repiblicans in the upcoming states are going to be subjected to one of the most vicous assaults by the GOP establishment against one of their presidential candidates, Donald Trump. And the future of the Republican party could be at stake because they have become the party of extremists including racists.
