27. Bernie has consistently voted as a Dem-he's made Dem policies possible

Wed Apr 6, 2016, 03:01 PM

Apr 2016

His voting as a Dem made it possible for Obama to have a majority in the Senate, for Harry Reid to be Senate Majority Leader, and for lots of prominent Dems who are now backing Hillary to be chairs of Senate committees, with the power to set committee agendas.

Hillary & company ought to be ashamed.
