unless bernie's actively bitching bdtrppr6 Nov 2017 #130

Bernie is not. The article said he was rather stoic about it. Drahthaardogs Nov 2017 #131

That is still open for debate, TexasTowelie Nov 2017 #32

Fair comment, but I don't think Warren's past should be held against her. InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2017 #46

Why not? I recall that numerous Democrats tried to make an issue of Hillary being a Goldwater girl TexasTowelie Nov 2017 #80

I like Elizabeth Warren, but I cannot understand how she can think the primary was rigged. LisaM Nov 2017 #16

I'm sure it won't the last time she's asked. Cobalt Violet Nov 2017 #20

Rigging doesn't have to be criminal. thesquanderer Nov 2017 #75

So you are saying Hillary cheated? sheshe2 Nov 2017 #90

Donna Brazile's point is that it was not an even playing field. thesquanderer Nov 2017 #105

Yet if you put your thumb on the scale to change the weight and balance... sheshe2 Nov 2017 #108

Do you like uneven playing field better? thesquanderer Nov 2017 #113

We need Democrats implying false criminality on other Democrats? dbackjon Nov 2017 #26

But that's simply not what Warren said. In fact, in that entire 1:25 video, she never even said... George II Nov 2017 #35

Thank you George. The Hill notoriously likes to stir the pot. emulatorloo Nov 2017 #84

What? melman Nov 2017 #96
