21. Bernie is a divider
Mon Apr 18, 2016, 02:09 PM
Apr 2016

His campaign strategy of dividing and insulting Dems is not working.

He has absolutely failed to understand constituents in so many primaries. Dem voters value loyalty and service to others. Bernie demonstrates none of that. Any Dems who do not like his ideas or methods are apparently complicit in the corruption or just not bright or evolved enough to understand his greatness. That isn't how it works. He will get yet another lesson about how Dems feel about him and the sparkle pony he rode in on in NY.

He is due for another kicking.
