Jennifer Granholm even pulls the 'socialist' card on MTP. I know a few in her family support Bernie!

Ha ha ha Jennifer. I just lost ALL respect for you...sitting there in your Hunter boots. Even you know the difference between socialist and democratic socialist. Even someone in your family discussed it with me. They support Bernie.

We realize you left your job to take a position with the campaign. These TV events are hardly to relay news, they are just chop shops these days for campaigns, this time for Hillary. I get your job...but to take the mantle of 'socialist' and pin it on Sanders is a lie. Again, I just lost all respect for you. It's great that several in your family know better, and have more integrity.

Is this a job you really need? It's awful, for a woman with your credentials in her own right. It's obvious that you are not there for your credentials, you were there to go along with a media slam against another candidate instead of talking up your own. You should go back to teaching, and include teaching the difference between socialism and democratic socialism.
We have much democratic socialism here....in all of the things Jennifer ran on when she went to office. What a shame to see her stoop so low. Again, some in her family support Bernie Sanders. Take that Hillary!

1. She wants to get rich so she'll say anything even if it ends up hurting lots and lots of

people in the long run. She is fighting against policies and solutions that will save peoples' lives and will make average Americans much more safe, secure, and happy.

She deserves any scorn or ridicule that gets levied her way. She will call them haters no doubt, but what SHE is doing is helping to prop up a system that delivers unneeded suffering for many. Quite sad really.

In fact he has worn the label with pride.

7. Bernie doesn't mind. But even those Jennifer tried to educate don't know the difference.

As a professor she should be ashamed of herself.

I don't' know why you keep saying there is a difference between socialism and democratic socialism. They are the same thing. It's not even necessary to use the adjective. It's self-evident.

predatory sociopaths tend not to feel shame.

11. When you think Granholm, think Emergency Manager in Michigan.

She started that crazy shit. Yes, Snyder is abusing it but she did start it.

Also, it was because the residents of Michigan were so unhappy with her that we ended up with Snyder.

Why the hell is she on TV?

14. She took a leave from her job to shill for Hillary, and that's what our 'news' shows have become.

Do you really think that the MSM allows for anyone
on the discussion board to support Bernie?
Why do you think that Dean and Granholm are
selected for the part?

In the section with Bernie he made it quite
clear that he is also up against the
establishment media, and he is right.

I expected her to endorse Clinton but be positive and not redbait Bernie. I completely misjudged her. Now, she's just another pol I have no use for.
