Mayday at the Kremlin, or Mayday at Peking. We could cycle the three, this way folks like you would not get bored as quickly.
Okay?

And Hilliary is gonna lose the General, because she will show that she is catering to both sides at the same time, and everyone knows that it is impossible. Clinton shall lose on her own. People are going to stay home, and we will be left with another RepubliCON Congress and Senate, because of the lack of enthusiasm.

15. Please learn to spell, lewebley3. Your posts seem childish due to slapdash spelling.

There/they're. (post above) It's/its Tump/Trump. (Here.) And try to provide us with some deeper thoughts than "America will stop Tump." You might give some thought to who created "Tump" and why. Or maybe something more basic to exercise "those little gray cells," like, how do you foster "Teamwork" with the 45% of voters who were actually able to cast a vote for Sanders and the other 10% (or more) who were prevented from doing so? You "stick a fork" in them at every opportunity? You sneer at their policy preferences as "unicorns and ponies"? You spit on their right to vote? You tell them it doesn't matter what they want, Hillary wins? Do you want them to be part of your "team" or do you want to make them vomit?

Clinton is good at machinations and hiring dirty tricksters (David Brock) but not at team work. So you Clinton supporters need to do it for her...um, team work. How do you go about it? How do you create a "team" that I would want to be part of? 71 year old woman here, 50+ years as a Democratic voter, supporter and activist. Or...is it that you don't need my vote, nor my support, nor my activism? You're thinking of some other kind of team? Please tell us about it. How do you put together your team for winning disaffected Democrats, independents (40+% of the electorate) and young voters, the future of our party and the country? And how do you do it when your candidate herself seems to prefer Republican votes, now that she has no more use for Democratic votes?

Hard job, that, for a Clinton supporter. It will require some hard thought to think about it. And more words than your usual "hit 'n' run" misspelled single sentences, to convince me that it is even possible, let alone that I should join your "team."

12. Wrong: The Clinton's rebuilt the mid Class in the 90's: the GOP destroyed
Tue May 10, 2016, 12:04 PM

the progress with the election of Bush: which Sanders helped by voting
for Nader. Sanders supporters are the same people that didn't
vote in the med term election to help Obama fight the GOP.


Sanders people through a fit because the couldn't get everything
the wanted: and then complained like the do now about what Obama
hasn't done.

Sanders people show up to rallies but they are not reliable votes because
they are ideologues that don't want to live in the real world.

Politics is not wishful thinking: its hard work!

13. Clinton did not rebuild the middle class.

He took away tariffs, that moved jobs overseas for one, so don't tell me that he bolstered the middle class.

Sorry, most of the Sanders supporters that I know, vote whenever we can. We can't help it if the DNC puts up candidates who do not gain enthusiasm needed for infrequent voters like yourself to turn out.

I know that politics is hard work. It is very hard work to fix elections, and steal votes. It's very expensive also. That is why one needs corporate backers.

As a Canadian I look forward every 4 years to the spectacle of THE AMERICAN ELECTION CYCLE. You guys burn for two years for your presidential election. We have a 5 week run up to the election and people were royally pissed because the last one was 11 WEEKS!

Also looking forward to a vigorous debate at the convention.
