Bernie has found common ground zalinda Jan 2016 #9
He found common ground on an issue that funded assistance for Veterans. That is not the same as politicaljunkie41910 Jan 2016 #76

And neither is Obama. nt artislife Jan 2016 #40

Because he's proffering other issues that are damn near imppossible to pass as passable ... uponit7771 Jan 2016 #108
You need to explain why not supporting this one issue conflicts with his definition of revolution. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #109
