Media matters pointed out in months when the primary was run
for Gore, that was the time when the corporation media smeared
Gore with silly lies.
A primary would only leave the corporations in charge of the election:
let support our candidates Hillary has been a loyal democrat for almost
thirty years: We all know her, we need to spend out time helping her and
win the Senate and House back.

Think what will happen to the GOP in the next months they will dragged
down by each other, and hopefully destroy themselves. We don't want
that for the Dem's

Let's leave the primary up to democrats to decide, your history is pointless
under the supreme courts Citizens United to decision

The Koch brother have enough money alone to buy off every paper in and every
writer in America.
