This was an impressively fast closing of ranks.

Obama and Elizabeth Warren back to back, and even Bernie is sounding more like he recognizes the importance of backing Clinton to defeat Trump.

Good news. Look how much has changed in just one day! I think we're going to be united and strong against Trump.

This was expected. Some people vote principles over parties. I am one of those people. I won't be voting for either of the media-propped candidates.

You mean the Trump that invited and ensured that Bill and Hillary Clinton attended his wedding?

Maybe you're not unprincipled, just uninformed. Read about him a bit. I'm pretty sure that you'll come to your senses quick.

The good news is, you won't be posting here in about a week, because the tolerance for that kind of stupidy is coming to a close.

Attending a wedding is about as clear an imprimatur as one can get.

I hope everyone else meets my high standards.

We're going to have life changing cases coming up soon.

SCOTUS is more important than personal principles. They are a factor on every man woman and child in America.

I'd vote for an empty stool with a D drawn by a toddler on it before I voted 3rd party, R or didn't vote.

#FeelTheUnity

Apparently, Hillary supporters aren't supposed to be encouraging or celebrating unity, and using that hashtag is supposedly offensive and "disgusting" ... but ... fuck that! I'm going to do it anyway.
