2. Through the primary the Democratic elites tried to cast Obama as a left wing terrorist lover.

After all the Birther nonsense was cooked up by Hillaries republican-lite supporters.

That theory first emerged in the spring of 2008, as Clinton supporters circulated an anonymous email questioning Obama’s citizenship.

“Barack Obama’s mother was living in Kenya with his Arab-African father late in her pregnancy.

Socially he's a bit wacky.

Hillary, or her media sponsors, as well as fox news are carrying on insulting and alienating the left wingers and left leaning independents at every turn. They better figure out, Hillary better stop pretending that the youth are just "morons".....no their hungry and they want a real progressive to put forward modern solutions to modern problems....not someone who will do wall streets bidding.

The election, hell the fate of our nations global standing, depends on it.

Not in the MSM articles in newspapers

They let him say what he wants and offer no editorializing

DU is not relevant. It's preaching to the choir except for the GOP
trolls that try to undermine their hated liberals

The undecideds do not visit here, nor do the Tea Party, not that they
have any doubts about their beliefs anyway
