us were surprised, too, with the media putting out polls that Hillary was only ahead by 2%.

And, the news about the millions of newly registered voters. Our friend stopbush predicted 7% and he was so right about Nevada @ 5%.. so I was hoping for that..

Plus burnie was living in California for over a month and spending a Lot of money!

It was really quite suspenseful! and then we found out @ 3am Pacific Coast Time!

So many thing to learn from California!

I think that Latinos were registering in big numbers not to vote for Bernie but to stamp out the TRUMP!

Latinos went for HRC! BS did not make inroads as he liked to say! Haha! Nope! Did not happen!

Bullying Sen. Boxer at the Nevada Convention was NOT a winning idea!

There were no anti-BS ads but there were anti-HRC ads. Did not work!

Talk of Contesting the Convention? California did not buy into that! Thanks but no Thanks!

BS daily stunts!! LOL! Fake press conferences, suing the State, Trying to Debate Trump etc...!!?? FAIL, FAIL & FAIL!

And more, am sure...

All good!

California and certainly they came into play. As you wrote.. Senator Barbara Boxer on stage in Nevada.. the BS fans(who sanders didn't try to put a stop to their behavior) were crude, violent, and obnoxious and they never learned.

Hillary had her faithful Latino Voting Block augmented tremendously by Delores Huerta(who was also treated disgracefully by burners.. lookin @ you Sarandon and Dawson) and Cesar Chavez' familia for sure!

Excuse me but.. "all those Millions of $$$$$$$$$$ in anti-Hillary ads"?

Here's your ".. inroads with Latinos" burnie..

Bernie's supporters liked to say he marched with MLK, neither Bernie or they learned MLK's most valuable lesson.

"I have consistently preached that nonviolence demands that the means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek."

Please be peaceful. We believe in law and order. We are not advocating violence, I want you to love your enemies...for what we are doing is right, what we are doing is just and God is with us.

Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.


Then they wondered by blacks did not vote for him in large numbers. Then they dismissed them as too ignorant to see what is best for them. Then they wondered even more why minorities weren't voting for him in large numbers.

This attitude came straight from the top. It played into their victimization fantasy. Their leader did nothing to raise them up, he kept them right where he wanted them, angry. It is the easiest way to get people to join you. Unite them in anger, tell them their anger is righteous, defend their anger, point to the one responsible for their anger, let them loose.

Rosario Dawson couldn't hold a candle to Delores Huerta and just because she's some sanders' surrogate she thinks she can say shite to her and diss her legacy.

As it so happens.. it's she and the other BS surrogates who messed up their own legacies.

from gov'ts posing as socialist gov't but were nothing but autocrats in disguise. They're naturally and innately distrustful of socialism because it's never what it tries to sell itself to be.

I have many, many Latino friends (hence my passion to see comprehensive immigration reform as quickly as possible - if only people knew the heartrending stories, they'd want it, too - and why I couldn't support Sanders) and they are Social Democrats in heart and soul: belief in a balanced gov't of capitalism (entrepeneurship) and socialism (good schools, unemployment, and gov't help to feed their families when they need it). They don't believe in Democratic Socialism (pure socialism). NONE are as far to the left as Sanders required them to be in order to support him. Plus...you don't dis their heroes - Delores Huerta and Cesar Chavez.

rain could be allocated to places that need it once we've had our fill of it.

But today is a good day for outdoor activities, so we'll likely spend more time outdoors. Then, we'll cocoon when the rain returns. We also have Netflix here, which is great to cocoon with and watch a series marathon or two!

so I was much slower to it than you. At that time, however, they also sent DVDs. Then in 2012, when I was in MD for Xmas, my spouse got a TV where one could stream directly. I was absolutely delighted when Netflix expanded to some areas in Europe beyond the UK and it became available in Switzerland in the fall of 2013.

Since then, there's been no looking back.
