Good riddance after actual physical violence on a Bernie supporter aspirant May 2016 #1

I've long suspected a lot of Bernies supporters griffi94 May 2016 #3
I used to think Bernie was being ill served by his people Demsrule86 May 2016 #19
There are no doubt people participating in the 2016 Democratic Primaries... Garrett78 May 2016 #20
That's been my position griffi94 May 2016 #42
Just to be clear, I think many of those voting for him now would, in fact, vote for him in November. Garrett78 May 2016 #66
I knew what you meant griffi94 May 2016 #71
I just wanted to clarify that I don't agree that BoB wouldn't vote for Bernie in November. Garrett78 May 2016 #117

It only comes across that way, if you think only black people can live in high crime areas... TCJ70 May 2016 #40
I don't think that at all. Dr Hobbitstein May 2016 #46
That's on them... TCJ70 May 2016 #50
Indeed they can. Dr Hobbitstein May 2016 #78
Hat tip to my Boogie Down roots, LOL. But that park in the SO Bronx is the newest gentrified area.. bettyellen May 2016 #17

what does high crime area in Las Vegas translate too in your mind? azurnoir May 2016 #48
Nothing ... Not a single thing. 1StrongBlackMan May 2016 #51
Then why bring it up woth the accompanying replies murmuring tone deaf ? azurnoir May 2016 #56
Because I wish to aggravate my DU:progressive allies. 1StrongBlackMan May 2016 #63
why would you want that? azurnoir May 2016 #67

I've listened and even commented on it ... 1StrongBlackMan May 2016 #118
Has Hillary? TCJ70 May 2016 #116

Yeah, after Nevada a lot of the reasonable Bernie supporters are going to defecting. YouDig May 2016 #6
Do you have a list of defecting names, aspirant May 2016 #26
Of course. Everyone in America emails me personally when they change their minds. YouDig May 2016 #57
In other words mindwalker_i May 2016 #68
You can already hear the rumblings. Bernie's toast. Watch and see. YouDig May 2016 #70
"Watch and see" oh, it's a psychic guess aspirant May 2016 #103
We'll see soon. Good like with that Bernie campaign! He's really got this! YouDig May 2016 #105
"we'll see soon," so these are psychic visions? aspirant May 2016 #109
It's math. But it can seem bewildering to people who are used to #berniemath. YouDig May 2016 #110
Speaking of math aspirant May 2016 #112
We don't need a list of defecting names ... salinsky May 2016 #114
