Another attempt at deflection by Clinton supporters

The absolutely inspiring rally in Washington Square Park was attended by 27,000 people, young and older, POC and white, etc. - and illustrates the enthusiasm of people for change, and for Bernie, in this country. In an attempt to deflect the power of this rally, Clinton supporters on this board have, for the last 12 hours or so, obsessively focused on an unfortunate comment made by one Bernie supporter. IT WON'T WORK! I was at the rally and nothing you say on this board will thwart this candidacy. and now that Bernie has apologized for the remark, you'll move on to your next whipped up frenzy. However, win or lose on Tuesday, he remains a superior person and candidate to Clinton.

the park and the park. Bernie Sanders deserves the credit for the enthusiastic crowds he brings to the forefront. Go Bernie. I refuse to let a bunch of envious supporters of Hillary crowd out the excitement of Bernie Sanders crowds. Because some other person made a comment that has already been apologized for by not only the guy but Bernie said it not appropriate too...but you keep it going to shift the attention off of a unbelievably exciting night last night. It won't work.

10. Let's just say that Hillary has sold her soul to the devil and get it over with.

Yup! That's another metaphor, just like corporate Democratic whore albeit without the negative gender connotations.

So, let's go with that. Hillary Clinton has sold her soul to the devil, the SCOTUS Citizens United decision, a devil if I ever saw one.

Citizens United is my number one issue this election. Bernie is correct on it; Hillary is 180 degrees wrong.

Just look at her fucking donor list, and one can see it. Then, look at Bernie's.
