Hillary shouldn't go near any debates: Sanders is melting down: He is not lewebley3 May 2016 #135

Where is this melt down you speak of? hellofromreddit May 2016 #158

Sanders has developed a swelled head: problem of which Brady Kids were victims lewebley3 May 2016 #162

That's a bunch of vague nonsense. Get specific. hellofromreddit May 2016 #163

I don't need to be specific; google Brady kids swelled head lewebley3 May 2016 #175

No. Make your case. hellofromreddit May 2016 #178

Sanders has made his case: he has lost control of his followers: lewebley3 May 2016 #179

Weak. You've got nothing. Done. hellofromreddit May 2016 #180

Hillary has the votes: that enough facts lewebley3 May 2016 #181

Melting down right into unprecedented power to write the party platform! AgingAmerican May 2016 #211

What matters is what Dem have for votes in Senator or house not a platform lewebley3 May 2016 #215

The platform outlines what Democrats believe in AgingAmerican May 2016 #216

Won't make any difference: if the Dem's don't have the votes lewebley3 May 2016 #218

A waste of time if your goal is not to get out the Democratic message and drive excitement, no? tia TheBlackAdder May 2016 #159

She's chicken re: answering email and transcript questions JudyM May 2016 #142

No one told her what her platform is this week so she would be as lost as Blow Dry Joe! yourpaljoey May 2016 #144

She will be doing the debate. joshcryer May 2016 #87

You're probably right. But it's impossible to know if she always intended or just caved. hellofromreddit May 2016 #97

That's because people post false lies about her doing a debate or not. joshcryer May 2016 #98

Well, you see it on actual issues as well. Gay marriage, war, banks, etc. Same pattern--always late. hellofromreddit May 2016 #101

She'll show up because that's what she does. joshcryer May 2016 #109
