No one on DU had a problem attacking Hilary and her emails??? Are you serious or joking? I had a problem with it like most people, including Bernie supporters. They had no problem calling her vile names???...What are you talking about? The only people that had no problem were right wingers. You can try and connect it to Bernie Sanders supporters, but that is simply false.

Yep greeny2323 Sep 2017 #1
It's also simple to understand... FBaggins Sep 2017 #235
What "bombs" has he thrown? berni_mccoy Sep 2017 #2

Yeah. So. you and think he meant three lowly house member who in 2017 are not voting boston bean Sep 2017 #18
It validates what he said. berni_mccoy Sep 2017 #20
Maybe for you and you alone. For me it validates NOTHING. boston bean Sep 2017 #28
Truth hurts berni_mccoy Sep 2017 #29
I'm not hurt,you?? boston bean Sep 2017 #36
Only the American people are hurt. LiberalLovinLug Sep 2017 #101

"Constant attacks"... guess that's why Gillibrand said he's a leader berni_mccoy Sep 2017 #31
She said in the interview there is no national leader until a president is elected. boston bean Sep 2017 #35
But if you cut out what she said before and what she said after that "leadership" quote... George II Sep 2017 #43
I did not hear "the" leader. delisen Sep 2017 #54
Neither did I, but some are now saying that she said it. George II Sep 2017 #60
Oh she said his name alright. Said it first when asked "Who's the leader of the Democratic party" berni_mccoy Sep 2017 #63
Give the exact verbatim response. Because she spoke with an emphasis on ideas. Not on the persons. boston bean Sep 2017 #65
I don't need to. I already posted on this earlier. berni_mccoy Sep 2017 #70
I just told you why i think you are wrong. Can you respond to that? It is not at odds with her boston bean Sep 2017 #72
You have ZERO facts to back up what you say berni_mccoy Sep 2017 #75
The video and transcript would back up what I said. Oh my. boston bean Sep 2017 #77

If he's still doing it, why would you have to go back to last year? thesquanderer Sep 2017 #52
Yesterday: "The current model of the Democratic Party obviously is not working", and he didn't.... George II Sep 2017 #58
Truth... thesquanderer Sep 2017 #102
Well, we gained seats in the Senate and House AND we "won" the presidency in 2016. How... George II Sep 2017 #104
The answer to your question... thesquanderer Sep 2017 #148
Once again, in 2016 we gained seats in the House and Senate. Obama wasn't a candidate in 2016. George II Sep 2017 #261
