Huh? Why is this so complicated? I said we're all on the same side. Which we are. DanTex Jan 2016 #16

Hillary supporters have been setting up Sanders supporters with that question. Spitfire of ATJ Jan 2016 #18

Not sure how "will you vote for the Dem nominee" could possibly be a set-up. Particularly in DanTex Jan 2016 #19
