@ForecasterEnten This is Sanders campaign 101: If you lose, start a fight or pitch a fit over a procedural issue to distract everyone.

1. hes got the republican tactics down

pretty well.

2. Great find, Cha!

This is SO true! Bridges "berning" everywhere ...

And then we learn that most of the polling difficulties in PR were directly attributable to Bernie's campaign. http://www.democraticunderground.com/1107157212

Not good sense - not good optics - not good politics - and truly terrible management generally.

[Cha]

3. Exactly right, BlueMT. I've been calling him burnie for awhile now for just that reason..

he's burning them even more now by accusing them of lying..

5. He can't even bow out gracefully.

His theory? He goes down, he will take us down too.

How sad is that, Cha.

[Cha]

6. Right, she.. he thinks he's in the cat bird seat after he's burned all these bridges..

He's certainly not a leader.. he's trained all these fans to hate Hillary by demonizing her and now he "can't tell them what to do".

Yeah we get it, burnie.. since you can't win the Primary.. you don't want Hillary to be President.. such a sad day for you and cornel west when she does!

@Mediaite Maybe when he's back in VT, they can all serenade him at night under his open bedroom window, and he can bask in it.

it isn't Bernie.

9. Freaky photo there! lol!

10. No where near it.. he just wants his fans to think he's going to "pry" the nomination

from Hillary.

Awww, your little catbird.. here's mine. I've been saying this but didn't know where it came from..



This is an American phrase - which is unsurprising as the grey catbird which is the probable source of the phrase is a North American species (there's also an Australian catbird). It's one of a group of birds called the mimic thrushes. They include mockingbirds and, as you might expect, they are adept mimics. The catbird is named for its ability to mimic the sound of a cat's miaow.

Catbirds seek out the highest perches in trees to sing and display. The allusion to that is most likely to be the derivation of the term. It may also be the source of an earlier term with much the same meaning - 'sitting pretty'.

Aloha, BlueMT~

25. Your catbird is much

more aerodynamic than mine!

More about the "catbird seat" expression: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catbird_seat

For another use, my late father, an avid Cribbage player, always used that expression when his peg was in the last couple holes before the win and his opponent's was not. Every Cribbage player I know also uses that expression at that point.

15. I now have

visions in my just waking up head of this critter chasing birdies and CHOMPING midair!

Clinton now leads Sanders by 800 delegates, per NBC count. She's 24 away from the 2,383 needed to win. He's 824 away.

12. Yep, I guess he's mad or something.

[Cha]

18. Or something.

[NastyRiffraff]

22. Mad angry?

Or the other kind of mad?

[artyteacher]

13. he's gone from inspiring figure...

To sore loser villian

[Cha]

21. Quite a trick.. all the name of what? power?

Thank you, artyteacher~

[Gothmog]

14. There is a pattern here

[liberal N proud]

16. He never was a Democrat

Never held Democratic views, always been an outsider and he thinks burning bridges is a good thing in a radical way.

I think he just might feel the bern when all said and done. Bern't Toat Bernie.

[DemonGoddess]

17. Typical of this sore loser.

That's okay though! She's got this! No amount of whining, CT and other stupidity can change that.

19. Benchmark Tweet

If PR results/benchmarks prove accurate, Sanders would need to make Clinton non viable in CA to clinch pledged delegate majority.
