33. The voters you are talking about will vote for him regardless
Thu May 5, 2016, 11:24 AM
May 2016

of what we do or say. "The high road", speaking about the real issues is for people who want to know about the ideas of the candidate they are going to vote for. There is a huge group of those voters in Bernie supporters and to a lesser degree in Hillary's voters.

If this election descends into a mud bath with no real content regarding the future many will just stay home assuming that there is no one worth voting for.

Look what Bernie has accomplished with issues based campaigning. He came from near nothing to neck and neck with Hillary who had a great many advantages when she started.

The cesspool is no place for a true Democrat.
