Do not use a pronoun without an antecedent. Trump's name is not mentioned in the OP so I'll exercise the liberty as to whom the pronoun refers to.

but I believe that Bernie had the highest rate of non-votes for any of the congressman running in the primary (that was before the heart attack). I've read a few rumblings in Vermont media that some of his constituents aren't happy with Bernie since he isn't there negotiating or voting for their interests and he has been running for president for the past five years.

What I don't understand is some that make it their mission to post a negative comment about every Bernie Sanders post that is put up. It is one thing to suport your candidate, it is another thing to tear down others. We have a long road ahead of us, and it is too bad that it has to get so ugly.

There were a group of regulars that posted sarcastic remarks on nearly every thread that I posted about Beto. As host of the O'Rourke Group, I withheld my comments because I did not want it to reflect on my preferred candidate. Now that Beto is out of the race, I'm free at last.

"taking money" from super PACS and corporations and Wall Street and accuses them of not being progressive because donations cause quid pro quo. He tears down others. He's negative. He says Democrats are establishment elites who don't care about the middle and working classes. Without any proof at all. How does anyone not notice this?
