10. You: But the RNC has been very hands-off with Bernie.

...and so is the mainstream corporate media. One of the reasons why I came over to HRC is because though I agree with some of BS's "pie in the sky" proposals; I have always tried to challenge BSers on how he intends to get these policies through.

A few things bothered me:

First, rather than answer the question, they issue ad hominem attacks on HRC, HRC supporters, and even those like me who are sympathetic to Sanders and who have may voted for him. I want SPECIFICS on *how* he draft policies that work!

Second, BS's refusal address how these policies would get through a Republican-controlled Congress, much less a Democratic Party in which BS has derided and all but condemned. The M$M has also refused to vet this guy in any thoughtful, meaningful way, which is also a turn-off.

Third, BS, his surrogates and supporters, condescendingly speak down to black voters and insult them, which really was the final straw for me. You write off the base of the Democratic Party and you will quickly learn what a huge mistake that is. (Note: Wisconsin blacks must be just as "dumb" as southern blacks because 70% of them voted for HRC in the primary.)
