landslides. I especially don't appreciate the "this is over" tone because I live in the most populous state, California, and our primary isn't until June. I will vote for Bernie as will millions of others. I don't know anyone who plans to vote for Hillary. I predict Bernie will sweep the west coast.

Hillary supporters on this board are some of the most smug, entitled people I've ever had the misfortune of encountering. I've put quite a few on ignore because the gloating raises my blood pressure. Tonight I read a post written by a delusional person who indicated that "the great Democratic Party" would sweep to victory in November. This under the "leadership" of DWS, a sure-fire election loser? Dream on.

Yep, the Hillary supporters do themselves no favors, and all of the arrogance displayed here will, if karma comes calling, one day return to bite them in the ass.

I did not see old posts being pulled up. We were ecstatic, of course. FourScore Mar 2016 #8

Plenty of old posts were pulled up. zappaman Mar 2016 #11

So that justifies it now? Or what's your point? n/t FourScore Mar 2016 #13

No, I was wondering if you had a problem with Sanders supporters doing it. zappaman Mar 2016 #17
