not a single one

Scrolled down the entire first page of latest threads and not one for Bernie among them with the majority being attacks on Hillary Clinton. I thought this was one but it turns out to be just another attack.

For some it seems the desire to see Trump beat Hillary has overshadowed any desire to see Bernie Sanders elected president.

To be fair the poster did mention something about Bernie and $15 an hour.

... who were never interested in seeing Bernie president, or even the nominee. They used their alleged "support" of Bernie to take shots at HRC and the Party.

Masks are being discarded, and true intentions are being revealed. Given Skinner's recent comments about changes to the site being imminent, they want to get their last shots in while they still can.

As a result, I predict the anti-HRC/anti-Dem rhetoric will be pumped up to 11 over the next little while.

.... some of them are recognizing that the revolution has failed, and are now prepping for the "I told you so" phase in addition to those you correctly referred to. What the "I told you so" people need to be prepping for is more disappointment.

I've stayed out of GDP for the most part because it just gets nasty during the Primaries. This seems worse than ever. 2008 was bad enough and 2004 had its share of diehards but this crew is really something else. It's like they're trying to start the second American Revolution.
