Its just internet stuff, its a flavor of: lets go out and find a loony on the internet that will get peoples attention. A variation of trolling, really a waste of time for the general population.

I wish that were the case. Is this guy the minority? Sure he is but there are way too many people just like him. A minority but a pretty significant percentage.

Largest civil infrastructure project in US history. Paid for by (you guessed it) an increase in fuel taxes.

Interesting how now that Trump is the presumptive nominee how the race seems to have tightened up.

Are they really though? The fact that the CPC is even considering voting on whether opposition to same sex marriange/abortion etc should be part of their next platform suggests otherwise.

Could this cause a rush of super-delegates to Bernie?

Yes, the Canadian Christian conservative (where he exists) is far different than his American counterpart.

Bernies campaign manager Jeff Weaver is banking on it.

Not a chance. As mentioned many times, the case is that hypothetical votes mean more than actual votes. As long as that's the argument, its the poorest argument he could possible make. Because after all hypothetical votes 12 months ago had him winning 0 states at all. Now that actual votes have happened....yeah. To now believe that polls mean everything would be pretty pathetic.

But he seems pretty dead-set on going the distance, and doing as much damage to Clinton (TM) as he possibly can.

Exactly, the Koch brothers coming out to suggest they will support Clinton after Trump took the nomination illustrates that perfectly. They can't buy Trump but everyone knows Clinton is for sale.

They didn't get rich and influence public policy by supporting losers.

And he can keep milking his supporters out of more cash, so as long as that's there for him he has no reason at all to drop out. If you're going to lose, might as well get some friends and family paid in the process.
