12. nice fodder for the fantasy bubble

Sun May 29, 2016, 01:09 PM

May 2016

but in reality none of the millions who voted for (or wanted to but were purged before they could vote for) Bernie Sanders wants him to drop out. Sanders champions a collection of causes and goals that desperately need a voice in this election. He has focused on issues and goals while the MSM talks about Trump's tiny hands and the like.

Sanders has run the nicest possible campaign against Hillary. Said nothing about her emails or anything else even though the MSM asked him a hundred times. He continue even now.

I hope no one is under the illusion that Trump is going to play nice or that whining, complaining and deflecting is going to work in the GE. We need to win this thing. I hope Obama's team is available to help Hillary in the GE because they run a much better campaign than her current team has so far.
