46. Your post PROVES the OP. It is NUTS to say that Hillary supporters "don't stand for anything."

What a load of CRAP! Are you actually so ignorantly saying that just because someone supports Hillary they don't stand for anything, as if Bernie Sanders is some lone and holy great god and guru of principles? My goodness, enough! Hillary Clinton started her career with the Children's Defense Fund and has been fighting for Democratic principles and making positive change her whole life. We are for progressive social principles and middle class economics. Being PRACTICAL and in REALITY doesn't mean one doesn't have principles. In fact, making PROGRESS, even if it has to be incremental, IS a PRINCIPLE. The whole nation was founded on COMPROMISE. Try reading your history books. So ENOUGH of the self-righteous nonsense that only Sanders supporters have principles and "stand for something." That is TEA-LEFTIST NON-REALITY PURIST BUNK!
