Whereas Trump is ratings gold. I am not a bit surprised the knives are out for Bernie.

Seriously. I hate him for that. Watch how low Bernie's numbers will sink now that he's threatening convention fights.

More people hate her than will ever hate him.

Hell, I can't stand her or Trump. They can both go to hell as far as I'm concerned. I keep hoping for some divine intervention.

than will ever even think about him.

The flip side is many more people support her than hate her.

He's irrelevant.

That's why she's burying him in the primaries.

Bernie's coming off as just another
angry old white guy.

Media wants the Pro_Corporate Candiate, who is of course, HRC.

So this theory -- Trump was just a stand in? My spouse came up with said theory about a month ago, but it is all over the blogosphere. Just google "Are the Clintons and Trumps friends?" and then "Wll Trump hand the win over to Hillary?" and watch how many links are reported.

I mean, today is the first full week that the Donald has held the nomination for his party and he lamely insists that HRC is a bad candidate due to how she enabled her hubby to cheat on her? When everyone knows that fact only increased Hill's popularity. As they say in New Yoik, "What's Up wid That?"

presents a real threat to the status quo corporate power enjoys. Just having a person such as Bernie Sanders with access to the presidential bully pulpit is something that absolutely cannot happen from the corporate/banking point of view.

Before New York and the 4/26 primaries, the media really boosted Sanders by driving the underdog narrative.

Of us supporters for the incident with the Democratic Party Campaign server, and --

Then when it turned out (NO surprise with this) that Bernie was not to blame and was in fact innocent, you never bothered to retract or to apologize?

The OP sure got anti-Bernie folks riled up.

And if you didn't write it, then did one of Bernie's staffers sneak into yr account here and hijack said account?
