(45,251 posts)As far as "progressive," that word ceased to have any meaning when Al From decided on the name of the Progressive Policy Institute.

I haven't used it since I heard Hillary use it about her policies during the 2008 primary.

(30,439 posts)Funny how Bernie and his supporters dismiss Hillary winning states like Souh Carolina, Georgia and Miss.
But when Bernie wins red states like Oklahoma and West Virginia, it's all good!
Too funny.

(9,313 posts)Early life[edit]
Judd was born May 23, 1958, in Pasadena, California. He is married, and professes to be a Rasta-Christian.[2] He claims to have run in every United States presidential election since 1996 and for mayor of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Governor of New Mexico.[3] He further claims to be a former member of the Federation of Super Heroes.[4] Judd has one child, born out of wedlock on September 3, 1990, a son named Marcus Miciah Robertson.[1]
Crime[edit]
In 1999 Judd was convicted of two counts of "mailing a threatening communication with intent to extort money or something of value"[5] and sentenced to 210 months (17½ years) in federal prison. The conviction has been falsely connected to litigation involving the University of New Mexico[6] which was a civil rights complaint he initiated.[7] His actual crime involved postcards that stated Send the money back now, Keith Judd, Last Chance or Dead. and a package containing a semen stained Playboy, a knife inside the magazine, a key chain, and his fathers military discharge papers. He also sent letters to jurors after his trial.[8] He has appealed his conviction no fewer than 36 times, but each appeal has been dismissed for various reasons.[9]
Judd was released in June 2013 on a supervised release program. In October, his probation office sought a warrant for his arrest for violating the terms of his supervision. He was sentenced to 12 months in prison, with another 24 months of supervised release. He has since been released a second time under supervision.

(1,364 posts)LawnGuyLand, plus Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse. He took the rest of the state. In my county of Schoharie, near Albany, he got 63.63% of the vote. AMAZING. I was at DMV yesterday and the woman behind the counter and I got started on Bernie, who she and her daughter are voting for. They are also doing a write-in come November. NY is a Blue state, so let NYC carry her, we will no longer vote for the lesser of two evils. Done with that.

(375 posts)That they refuse to lend their support to moving the political situation toward at least some progress when that might make them a bit uncomfortable.
But, it's my damn vote, you say! Of course it is, and you can vote anyway you want. And it's my right not to respect your rationale that you so boldly offer.

(934 posts)but not enough of a delegate difference to matter.
We went through this in 2008. The "miracle path" scenario has him needing at least 19 delegates.
Arneoker
(375 posts)So beloved by the hopeful and the lazy MSM. How often does momentum get derailed? How many times have both Bernie and Hillary seen momentum blow up in their face? Quite often, as it turns out.
So we'll see how the hope of winning California and getting the super-delegates to overturn Hillary's lead in pledged delegates (obtained from states where people actually voted at the polls) goes.

(4,213 posts)Just curious what is the lowest pledged delegate total of a Democratic primary at an uncontested convention. This may be it.

(2,124 posts)Did Obama carry this state in 2012 general? no.
Is it listed as a solid red state, not a swing state? Yes
Exit polls have 27% of them going to TRUMP in the general. So republicans voted in this primary to give a win to Bernie.

It didn't make any sense the first time I heard it,

So please Hillarysplain it to me again.
