time his name is mentioned, both here and in the real world? Two sides of DEMOCRATS square up and have that same BS fight over and over and over. I get that many love him. I also get that many can't stand him. Do you REALLY think he us the answer or is it your ego not letting you let go?

I love Hillary. In my dreams, she would run again and win. BUT THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Likewise, BS IS NOT GOING TO RUN AGAIN AND WIN. He's too divisive. Surely you can see that? It is not going to work.

We all need to let our shattered dreams go and get realistic. Our Republic is being blown up as we speak. We cannot put up a candidate when the mere mention if his name sets us at each other's throats.

We all need to grow the fuck up. There is a lot more at stake right now than our bruised egos.
