In reply to the discussion: What message would we send if we quickly rejected Bernie and crowned HRC? [View all]workinclasszero
(28,270 posts)179. First off...take your insults and shove them
Any so-called democrat that has the balls to get on a democratic board and say that the next SCOTUS openings are unimportant is either a total idiot or a republican trolling this board.
Lets get down to reality shall we? You Bernie purists can talk all the BS you want, you can insult Hillary voters, AKA the vast majority of democratic voters, all you want. You can keep on using Rush Limbaugh's and Fox news lies and innuendo against Hillary.
But.....on these dates next year.
This is where your bullshit ends!
Monday, February 1: Iowa caucus
Tuesday, February 9: New Hampshire
Saturday, February 20: South Carolina
Tuesday, February 23: Nevada caucus
Tuesday, March 1: Colorado caucuses; Massachusetts; Minnesota caucuses; Oklahoma; Tennessee; Texas; Vermont; Virginia; North Carolina
What will make it perfect is after these dates, when Bernie concedes to Hillary, he will, wait for it, endorse her for President! And so will Senator Warren!
And OMG I will laugh my ass off when it happens! I will be taking many victory laps on this board for sure!
So keep spewing your garbage on DU because you are doing NOTHING to help Bernie get the nomination while you waste time here insulting your fellow democrats and making enemies!
