I'm SO angry that Bernie set up a last minute event to compete with Hillary's speech.

Jesus Christ. He doesn't want people to know what she has to say. He just wants to suck attention away from a tremendously important issue. If he wants to make his own speech, great. I'd watch. But this is ego driven drama.

one of the men acts like he is 3 years old and one of them acts like he is 5 years. I keep going back and forth trying to decide who is the most childish.

Do the same, actually Bernie, she arrived at her position on SS before Bernie did, it took a few months for Bernie to migrate to Hillary's position, Hilary was there first, Sanders was there second, welcome aboard Bernie.

Just like Trump. They can't stand it when someone else (especially a woman) is getting all the media's attention.

making himself look small and petulant with these moves. Losing is hard, even heartbreaking. But he's making it worse with the sour grapes gesturing.

It was hidden 2-5 for calling Sanders a liar and a creep. One of comments said it should be hidden if said about Clinton.

EXCUSE ME? This is the Hillary Group. After a year of her being called a liar every five minutes. She was told to "go f herself with a brick," she's a racist race-baiter, "made a deal with the Devil," a murderer, "scary evil," "that shit stain known as HRC," corrupt, immoral and all the rest. Compared to all the really horrible offensive things said about Hillary, calling someone a liar and a creep is practically a compliment. I can't forget all that was said. I can't. I won't.
