and it's a large one and it's one that feels passionately about their cause.

If the PTB in the Democratic Party work with him responsibly, I feel sure he will help harness the vast energy of this group for the Democratic candidate this year.

If they do not do that, then I think he will not help, and that will stand to reason.

by very little, and she made no demands whatsoever. She immediately went to work campaigning for Obama and convinced her supporters to vote for him. Bernie is not special. He doesn't deserve special treatment. If his supporters want to elect Trump b/c they can't get over losing, so be it. That is their decision to make.

gloating and condescending and dismissing and vengeance are all your trip, then feast on that.

I think you'll find it a really shitty feast.

The New England Patriots Negated A Win to The Seattle Seahawks by a pass play that should have
been a run play to win the Super Bowl, A second guess was not only a doom, but a historic failure .
Bernie Is Trying to pass, On a run play, A non winning strategy, But Nothing but Admiration for his

Your candidate stayed in until after the last primary in 08. What is good for one is good for the other.

Stop being an jerk...go post about how happy you are Hillary won...and stop egging on Bernie voters.

This just shows what obnoxious people Hillary supporters are and bullys as well.

Why the Hillary supporters are carrying on so is beyond me.

Afterall - Hillary said it was the RIGHT THING TO DO to carry on to the convention and try to win over Super Delegates.

So what is good for one is good for all!
