But not Clinton Gothmog May 2016 #95

He GOT millions and millions of voters. nt Bonobo May 2016 #88

And yet he trails Clinton by 3.2 million votes Gothmog May 2016 #94

Yes, but your assertion was ridiculous. You said "Where are the millions". Bonobo May 2016 #98

I live in the real world and do not believe in magic Gothmog May 2016 #97

Using your logic (?) the only proposals that have a chance of being passed are the ones rhett o rick May 2016 #96

There is nothing wrong with incremental changes in that these changes are real Gothmog May 2016 #105

That's some kind of rationalization to avoid fighting for those that are struggling. rhett o rick May 2016 #110

Sanders had his chance to prove that his revolution was real Gothmog May 2016 #114

It is also a tool for Sanders to make unrealistic proposals that can not be passed in the real world Gothmog Apr 2016 #67

excellent point - justification for bills that have no chance of being passed DrDan Apr 2016 #68
