In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders Announces His Anti-Trump Agenda On 'Rachel Maddow' & It's Pretty Revolutionary [View all]Cha
(297,154 posts)38. Please stop bashing our Dems.. There's no need to take a dump on
Hillary because she isn't planning rallies around the country.
Yes they are going to the inauguration.. It has everything to do with Hillary's grace, dignity, and strength,
She has every reason to hold her head high.. & I think it will piss off the insecure dump that she is there distracting from him being the center of everyone's universe.
Hillary is fearless and I'm glad the Clintons will be there for President Obama, too.

I was a solid Hillary supporter. I accept, given her loss and her age, that her era is over.
