It's not just Republicans. Democrats are nervous about Clinton's email scandal and the fact that she has an FBI investigation hanging over her head during a hotly contested primary.

Wouldn't you agree that it is better to have this investigation wrapped up, as opposed to have it ongoing and clouding her campaign?

It just creates a (quite possibly false) characterization of his supporters.

I truly don't know anyone, personally, who supports Bernie Sanders and who voted for him yesterday who would EVER -- not in a zillion years -- use FREE BEACON as a source.

The fact that he used it as proof, and then tried to hide it, when his other sources don't say what that ugly Free Beacon source said, is telling.

This guy is not helping the Sanders campaign at all.

I have friends and acquaintances (and even a relative or two) who are Sanders supporters, and NEVER--I mean NEVER NEVER NEVER--have I heard the kinds of ugly "justifications" for his candidacy, or references to right-wing websites or viewpoints in support of Sanders, that I have heard here.

I really have to wonder what is going on--is this a divide-and-conquer effort? An "enemy of my enemy" ploy? It doesn't sound like a lot of people who post these links even LIKE Democrats, liberals, progressives, or anyone who wants to improve the lot in life of everyday, ordinary people. For this reason, I look askance at the depth or sincerity of some of these posts that use these ugly sources.

"What are you doing?" He passer-by asks.
"If you think I'm going down there for a $1 pair of sunglasses, you're crazy."

No, they continue on. They're fully committed at this point to nominating Clinton no matter what it takes and no matter what it does to the party or to the country.

She's not a target of any investigation. FBI made that clear months ago.

Anyone who is trying to tell you she is a target is doing that to drag her down, not to bring Bernie Sanders up. They want you to be distracted, to "pile on," to waste time hoping against hope that some magic, nonexistent indictment will clear the path for Sanders, when it's not going to happen. If he wins the nomination, he's going to have to do it by earning it, not by having the FBI kneecap the front-runner. But see, if he doesn't win it, they want you to have an idea in your head that her not being a target isn't true, so you'll vote for Trump out of a sense of anger or revenge.

Consider the source.
