135. Senator Sanders is on the public payroll

Fri Dec 30, 2016, 05:07 PM

Dec 2016

As a Senator, he has a vote over cabinet picks and future legislation.

Clinton is at home with her family for the holidays, like other private citizens. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's what Bernie and the rest of congress is also doing.

I am glad that Bernie decided to focus his criticism toward Trump rather than the Democratic Party. I welcome the evolution. I guess he figured out Trump wasn't going to be an ally in tackling corporate corporate corruption after all. http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/17/politics/bernie-sanders-donald-trump-allies/

The question that you demanded proof for was wha she had done in regard to party building. I gave you examples. Rather than acknowledging that your response was to again attack, which is exactly what the point of all of this is. I think we know full well you don't want her leading the party or doing anything other than serving as a scapegoat.

I think it's sad that people are so invested in animus toward one woman that even when they siuceed in ridding the party of her they continue to attack her.

Obviously you aren't on Clinton's email list or don't follow any groups that support her or you wouldn't have to ask what she is doing.

Trump isn't president yet, and Hillary has never been a TV politician. There are some who live for the cameras and do nothing that isn't for a television audience. That isn't Hillary. She will be fighting, but not on TV. She doesn't exist for your or anyone else's entertainment.
