You have not been, by far, the only one who has posted that to me.
Did you also post that you did not want Sanders in the primary because you support Hillary?
Because you completely reworded that part, too.
In any event, as I said, you are by far not the one one. Come to think of it, a lot of people using very similar wording should have given me pause. Hmmmm
including your fav, Bernie Sanders.
Sorry, pwnmom, you've leapt to a wrong conclusion. If you read my posts this thread and my post very early this am in the Warren forum--as I actually worded them, of course--you would see that I have not made my mind, that I truly do want a lot of people in the primary. I know you read my posts because you reply to them and I've been posting that same thing for weeks now., just as I've been posting for weeks now including on this thread. So, what is the point of your untrue comment about my "fav?"
I'm not encouraging Hillary, for that matter.
Hmm.
For some reason that reminds me of a poster who has called me everything but a child of God over Hillary, including, snort, a sexist. But told me I had misread him: his candidate was actually Bernie Sanders. He just didn't like what I said about Hillary. (What I said about Hillary actually corrected his lie about how quickly she had retracted her airport lie--and I had not brought up the airport story to begin with.
Fast forward a couple three weeks. I still have not seen one post of his supporting Sanders or any other candidate but Hillary. However, I do continue to see him posting vigorously about Hillary.
Let me emphasize again. that poster was not you and you have not done the same. Still, I have had the very distinct impression that you do support Hillary and no other.
But I don't oppose her either, and I don't appreciate people who spread lies about her.
Posting something like that to me could imply that I've been spreading lies about Hillary. If your intent is not to smear me that way, kindly reserve comments like that to post or say to people who have been spreading lies about Hillary. I have not. If you think otherwise, kindly post links to my alleged lies and, if the post itself does not contain a link, I will provide you with this one because I don't want to see this implication again when you post to me.

OP
I hope each of us has been doing that, in our way. And perhaps more importantly, also in IRL.

You're wrong. It is very possible to support an open primary and also not want to give

I'm with you. We should at least hear where our candidates stand on the issues. Hillary is afraid to take a stand on anything.

In fact, Hillary does better in the polls when she says nothing at all. That sure doesn't reflect well.

Her popularity ratings fell during her book tour. That doesn't bode well, either.

Odd? Perhaps, but I'd use another adjective for this behavior: disgusting.

You're right, the election should be decided by internet malcontents 2 years ahead of time.

He could run as a Dem, lose, and then use that as a platform for running as an Independent.
