coattails. He has them. The GOP is ripe to be put down for good. Given that he beats the GOP candidate no matter who it is from 5-19 points, he will bring in dems all over the place because people voting for him will give him allies which he asks for every time he speaks. You have to come with me on this journey, he says, or it won't work. The enthusiasm and support on this forum is just a microcosm of what is out there in the world. I don't know ANYONE who wants HRC and I am talking rabid clintonites from the past. No young person I know is for her. THey want Bernie because he isn't running a NO YOU CAN'T, I DON'T HAVE A DREAM campain.

Secondly, HRC is the most damaged candidate I have seen in a lifetime. She is accused by the pugs of MURDER. It doesn't matter that they're full of shit and whatever. IT IS THE STORY ON HER IN THE BIG WORLD. She hasn't figured out how to change it and she never will. She is accused of MURDERING her own friends. She is considered a crook, a liar, a fraud, a person who BENGHAZI! BENGHAZI! BENGHAZI! and a thief with White Water. She is HATED so much by them that some of the pugs are talking impeachment already.

HOW THE HELL does that person work with them? How the hell does she pass anything whatsoever? She is loathed with the fire of a thousand suns by the GOP. NO one will work with her. How is she better?

Bernie will have momentum from the people. HRC has money from the oligarchs and the mob waiting for her. They think she MURDERED her best friend. And that doesn't count Bill and his antics past and present as well as her emails and the FBI breathing down her neck and Bill's over their foundation. Her negatives are monstrous for a reason. No one with her negatives has ever been elected in the GE. Seriously, don't snow us. We were here all along too and watched the same movie. Some of us are ready to change the channel.

I've been calling her victory "pyrrhic" all along. Nedsdag Feb 2016 #1

You and Sanders discount the math of historic digitally gerrymandering congress. Math doesn't suck.. uponit7771 Feb 2016 #9
You're concerned about folks looking at Sanders's message? THAT'S WHAT WE WANT! w4rma Feb 2016 #10
I do too!! I want them to start asking where the hell was all this during the ACA fight, where was.. uponit7771 Feb 2016 #12
Sanders got two major riders onto the ACA bill. One that subsidies low income health clinics. w4rma Feb 2016 #17
Do you have a link for that? I'm willing to change my mind based on the facts.... tia uponit7771 Feb 2016 #18
