Sanders cannot be easily criticized so it has been open season on his supporters here. Bonobo Jun 2015 #3

With Andrea Mitchell we know that it isn't "independent journalism". Don't we? delrem Jun 2015 #10

Every question was about Hillary. To Mrs Greenspan, it's Hillary and some neverforget Jun 2015 #11

I forgot about that. SusanCalvin Jun 2015 #18

IDK about that hootinholler Jun 2015 #82

No it would not be allowed there. I know I have had posts locked. madfloridian Jun 2015 #107

How about "what's your stance on this topic?" instead of Hillary believes this, what do you think? neverforget Jun 2015 #23

That's a perfect summation of the MSM Populist_Prole Jun 2015 #54

That, and it's a way to keep Clinton's name front and center at ALL times. IOW, she's Nay Jun 2015 #90
