Bernie's weakness as a President, and one of the main reasons he lost this primary.... [View all]

There are lots of threads and discussions about "judgment" and "personality" in elections. Most people don't like the idea of leadership who are not rational and thoughtful. That's one of the most obvious problems with Trump.

Likewise, Bernie has demonstrated repeatedly that he cannot analyze facts and empirical evidence. Bernie lets an imaginary world override reality. This failure to see the Primary results and concede is a clear example of Bernie inability to make effective decisions. As a President, he would do the same thing - he would try to force his own view of some fake picture on the rest of the world. It would result in great failure, ineffectiveness, and maybe new conflicts. Bernie thinks an emotional speech is all that it takes to make it so. Bernie is out of touch with the way it really is, and many who oppose Bernie intuitively pick up on this dissonance. His logic is simply fiction.

LOS ANGELES — Bernie Sanders urged news organizations on Saturday to hold off on declaring a victor in the Democratic presidential race following Tuesday’s primaries and vowed to soldier on to the party’s convention in July.

Sanders comments come as his rival, Hillary Clinton, is poised to effectively clinch the nomination following the close of the polls Tuesday in California, New Jersey, and four other states.

But the Vermont senator insisted that the delegate count is fluid. And he expressed confidence that he could persuade some “super delegates”— the party leaders who are not locked into voting for a particular candidate — to peel away from Clinton in the “six long weeks” before Democrats gather in Philadelphia.
