33. If they were all that enthusiastic they would be out knocking on doors

for their guy, not trashing another Democratic candidate on the internet.

Some seem to have truly no clue about Clinton and post easily debunked junk about Hillary. I will occasionally post something if I see that a post is way out of line just in case someone actually wants real information, but otherwise wading into the nastiness isn't healthy for me.

Just now there was a post complaining about a last minute town hall before voting. Post after post was screaming about how horrible it was, and it blows my mind. I see no reason why Bernie wouldn't be up for it and able to do a good job of getting his message across. I like Bernie, prefer Hillary, and don't like what I am seeing from Bernie's campaign much, or the seemingly lack of faith some of his supporters have in his ability to handle a simple town hall.
