Love when Bernie people denigrate Bernie in order to take a shot at Hillary.

You know, like "he's a 74-year old socialist, Hillary should have easily destroyed him." I guess by #bernielogic, portraying Bernie as a hopeless candidate for whom getting his clock cleaned by 280 delegates is some huge accomplishment is going to convince us to support him.

Oh yeah, totally! Let's nominate the guy whose big accomplishment is losing not as badly as his own supporters think he should be! Who's with me?

We have no problem that he's old or a socialist. We're pointing out the biases in America and that even with those "negatives" she still can't beat him. It's no different than pointing out Obama's skin color or his middle name.
