105. I don't believe what I said was wrong. A lot of people here are jealous of Bernie's popularity.

But thats neither here nor there, thats just my opinion. Opinions are soft.

You were most certainly wrong about the timing of the SOTU responses and you didn't even bother to check the facts before opening your mouth though. That much is based on hard fact not opinion.

You can say whatever you want to say in response. I don't care. You've lost the argument and there is nothing you can do or say about it.
