I'm sure he could give you a few lessons on public decor, diplomacy, and public relations that you would remember for a LONG time.

... always has been used to indicate distraction. Refer to the title of the OP.

Now, you have revealed yourself in the worst possible light, even when given a chance to back off.

Congrats.

Obama, who would be the first black president, led Clinton among likely black voters by 19 points, among independents by 16 points and among young voters age 18 to 24 by 34 points.

That seems to be an affliction common to those who sport the h-"right" arrow. Might be cognitive dissonance?

(Really, you would do better expending your energy supporting YOUR candidate, and resisting the urge to snark at Sanders supporters.)

I think the chart shows why the hillarians don't want Sanders to get the nomination. It's pretty clear that Clinton is far closer to trump and Carson than to Sanders on the big issues. So if the choice next Nov is Bernie vs. Dr. Ben or the Donald, Clinton supporters will face an interesting dilemma.

The efforts to distract from what's-his-name's endorsement of BS has been constant ever since he came out for Bernie.

It's been a real game-changer. BS's poll numbers are through the roof since - well, whenever it was that that guy spoke up.

Or not.
