Not well apparently, a lot of people seem to be already writing him off, he has a lot of SJWs backing him rabidly but it seems he isn't being taken very seriously, according to people on reddit, a bunch of his college students supporters are planning on getting themselves in debt for his fundraiser.
This is the definition of a cult. I guess some of us are wired to be sheep forever, by design. The SJW movement is a cancer, so for them to self destruct is the best gift sanders gave to the world. Lots and lots young bern victims though. I can't be too happy about this, but... their choice... Bah. In our current world people under 25 years old are totally hopeless. We promised them a world of despair, of slavery and failures. I don't see why they shouldn't get themselves in debt if they have an opportunity to change the world. If we don't do it now it's over forever. I don't see the point of older adults pushing younger adults into useless debts, unless it is to cripple them further in purpose, to extend their misery (the older adult's misery and despair) to a younger generation. Were you hopeless when you were 25? (assuming you are not anymore) I'm not really much older to be honest ^^ And yes I'm fucking hopeless. I swore I'd never have children because the world we're leaving can't welcome them properly. Oh I'm not afraid of my own future. I made bright studies and had a fucking great job 1 month after my school. My salary is faaaaaaaaar enough to cover both my wife and my needs and as she works too, we got nothing to worry about. But concerning this world? Yeha I'm really hopeless.

Average Bernie Supporter-------------------------------- I hope this is not real. You mean that the average Bernie supporter is the citizen who had never the opportunity to see a candidate it was worth standing for, that they never had hope in any other previous candidate? I'd say it's not a bad thing is it?

Well it's still not a really good thing to have your electors to be people who don't give a fuck about politics in general :-/

During the bush regime or the 0bama regime? Fairly sure it was during Obama, but you can't blame everything on the president... IIRC, congress was republican at the time It had to do with the financial crisis and subsequent bailout You see, wall-street made a killing creating a real-estate bubble (via fraud), similar to a bitcoin price bubble... Then, once the bubble popped (went half-gox), the gov gave them $20 trillion dollars in bailout (more money than actually exists on the planet) After the banks took all the money in existence, they tripled everyone's interest rates on credit cards and student loans (I also had a credit card go from 7.9% to 20.9%, and another from 9% to 26%!) At the same time, they gave reduced yields on deposits... My checking account was paying 4%+ interest, and dropped to around 1% nowadays

The federal government did?? Was you rate jacked up after President Obama took over the government-guaranteed part of the student loan industry? (That takeover took place in 2010.) Or are your loans not guaranteed by the feds?

Hold On To Your Hat And See What Bernie Would Take From You In Taxes, If He Were President…Prepare to see the size of your paycheck shrink in 2017 if Bernie Sanders is elected President of the United States. A new analysis of the Democratic presidential candidate’s tax plan found that the self-professed socialist would raise federal tax revenue by 34% and cut the after-tax incomes of the wealthiest households in the U.S. in half — all to fund his big-government proposals like universal healthcare and free college tuition. The Tax Policy Center, which conducted the analysis, found that under a Sanders’ administration: The total amount of federal taxes collected would increase by $15.3 trillion over the next decade; The top 0.1% of earners would be taxed an average federal rate of 63.7% in 2017 – up from 34.2% in 2016; and The middle 20% of American households would see their taxes go up $4,692 in 2017 – resulting in a net loss of 8.5% of their after-tax income. Leonard Burman, the Tax Policy Center’s director and a former Treasury Department official under President Bill Clinton, told The Wall Street Journal: “Sanders is clearly betting that people are willing to pay for his expansive new welfare state. There’s a giant tax increase, mostly on the rich, but everyone would pay more.” http://www.ijreview.com/2016/03/552979-hold-on-to-your-hat-and-see-exactly-how-much-of-your-paycheck-bernie-sanders-thinks-the-govt-should-take/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=owned&utm_campaign=ods&utm_term=ijamerica&utm_content=economy

Feel the bern: Lefties Send 9,000 Threats to Elizabeth Warren Over Bernie Sanders Loss Poor Elizabeth Warren. Yesterday she was the left's hero. She was the one they wanted to run against Hillary. But Elizabeth Warren was always a fraud, a rich lawyer and ex-Republican, who had no intention of going up against the Clinton Machine. So she was never going to endorse Bernie Sanders either. Now the left is very unhappy with its former "You didn't build that" messiah. How unhappy? http://www.frontpagemag.com/point/262021/lefties-send-9000-threats-elizabeth-warren-over-daniel-greenfield

Geez...I don't know what to say. There's something kind-of sad about a movement that turns on its natural ally out of frustration.

Are they upset with his loss on Saturday or the loss of the democratic nomination? I didn't think the nomination was decided yet. Doesn't he still have a chance?
