50. We told you that Hillary didn't have a chance if she ran against Trump.

Tue May 10, 2016, 04:09 PM

May 2016

We warned that it was a possibility that those that Sen Sanders brought out that wanted to change a corrupt system, wouldn't participate in that corrupt system if Hillary is the nominee. But the Clinton Wing didn't heed the warning. Their hubris lead them to believe that they could demand that the Left fall in line.

So, we told you that if you didn't want Trump all you had to do was support Sen Sanders the true progressive.

Maybe you can blame Ralph Nader instead of looking in the mirror for who's responsible.

The corrupt system includes a DNC that clearly is working to elect Clinton. The corruption includes massive money laundering via super pacs. A corrupt system that embraces Citizens United. A corrupt system that includes a super delegate system that allows the DNC to literally buy their support.
