Democrats see Hillary Clinton-Elizabeth Warren dream ticket [View all] cal04 May 2016 OP

Not only does that neutralize Warren, it's going to give more gullible Sanders supporters VulgarPoet May 2016 #1

If they believe Bernie can accomplish his agenda they'll believe anything. Renew Deal May 2016 #11

You also predicted Bernie would win. Renew Deal May 2016 #46

Hillary has not won, and for her to get the nomination is suicide for the Democratic Party. Baobab May 2016 #47

The Democratic Party has weighed the options and chosen the candidate they feel is better. Renew Deal May 2016 #54
