All who have already called for Sanders to unite behind Clinton will have to regain my respect [View all] Tom Rinaldo Jun 2016 OP

Got news for ya, when you make a wholesale indictment of HRC's supporters, we only want one thing tonyt53 Jun 2016 #1

Strongly worded ... and I totally agree with you. NurseJackie Jun 2016 #6

They're rapidly cycling from whining to attacking to demanding we cater to them. stevenleser Jun 2016 #41

Where is the demand, Steve? Tom Rinaldo Jun 2016 #49

Your words "will HAVE TO regain your respect". Yep, that is a demand. tonyt53 Jun 2016 #80

A demand insists that something be done Tom Rinaldo Jun 2016 #98

They have nothing but attack, derision, hypersensitiveness, libdem4life Jun 2016 #104

the singular view of the universe is staggering. 'WILL Have TO' is a challenge in the opening MariaThinks Jun 2016 #128

Calling it a challange is at least more accurate than calling it a demand Tom Rinaldo Jun 2016 #163

This post is a perfect example of the point of the OP 2banon Jun 2016 #76

It sure is. Duval Jun 2016 #139

a recent poll says 57% of Sanders supporters will vote for Hillary. That leaves 43% that will not. MariaThinks Jun 2016 #127

This? in response to the OP? Intelligent gif for a very serious subject libdem4life Jun 2016 #105

Not a very serious subject. I am not a gracious winner, I am an angry winner. upaloopa Jun 2016 #111

Trump is an angry winner too. Bluenorthwest Jun 2016 #157

No one is voting "their feelings". Duval Jun 2016 #140

Oh, I'm very much in agreement with the OP.. 2banon Jun 2016 #150

Careful about your assumptions Tom Rinaldo Jun 2016 #19

I'VE never said Bernie should drop out. leftynyc Jun 2016 #20

Lets face it. Most of the hard core BSS were not redstateblues Jun 2016 #32

It will be a disaster for the Republicans redstateblues Jun 2016 #152

I voted for the Democrat in every election since 1980. rateyes Jun 2016 #43

We will win without you. What is keeping you from leaving now? redstateblues Jun 2016 #155

You may win the battle. We will win the war. rateyes Jun 2016 #159

Since Hillary agrees with the republicans on many key issues, while Sanders agrees with them Doctor_J Jun 2016 #132

Brady Bill? Your equivalence of Hillary and Trump is a big pant load redstateblues Jun 2016 #153

Bull puckies--and posting it a bazillion times does not make it any less bull puckies. merrily Jun 2016 #133

You know that is not true. Duval Jun 2016 #141

Because I'm tired of Bernie or Busters threatening to give the White House to the Republicans redstateblues Jun 2016 #154

I believe that any negotiations should probably take place between the candidates. Tal Vez Jun 2016 #10

Just because I trust my candidate doesn't mean I'm going to follow him if I think he's wrong pengu Jun 2016 #54

I'm sure you'll have no trouble with that Tom Rinaldo Jun 2016 #21

It's interesting that supporters of the anti-war candidate are not interested in peace and unity. LonePirate Jun 2016 #17

Are you suggesting I am not interested in peace and unity? Tom Rinaldo Jun 2016 #22

There's no contradiction pengu Jun 2016 #57

Dumbest post so far this month! Doctor_J Jun 2016 #119

You think it's dumb to shine a light on hatred and hypocrisy? LonePirate Jun 2016 #120

You think it's smart to compare Mrs Clinton's decades of war mongering to a nomination fight? Doctor_J Jun 2016 #121

Gotta love all the situational morality we're seeing nowadays! LonePirate Jun 2016 #122

What a load of shit. Phlem Jun 2016 #147

"We the people" is the same term the tea baggers, 3 percenters, and sovereign citizens use to make FSogol Jun 2016 #34

And they carry Ameican flags too Tom Rinaldo Jun 2016 #53

there is no changing the democratic party Robbins Jun 2016 #64

I heard some of them love puppies, too. Lizzie Poppet Jun 2016 #66

I was probably addressing rhetoric more than puppies. FSogol Jun 2016 #86

It was a fairly absurd comment on rhetoric, a meaningless association. Lizzie Poppet Jun 2016 #103

Have fun tomorrow, extremely pleasant and civil DUer. FSogol Jun 2016 #107

It's also the opening of the Preamble to the Constitution. QC Jun 2016 #91

Not asking anyone to kiss my ass to get my support. rateyes Jun 2016 #65

But you are honest in your hate. I can respect that. hack89 Jun 2016 #68

You will be fighting me and the rest of us working rateyes Jun 2016 #74

That's fine - governments and parties need to be constantly pushed so they don't get complacent. hack89 Jun 2016 #78

Another seeming case of either poor reading comprehension or attention deficit disorder Tom Rinaldo Jun 2016 #67

Hillary dropped out and conceded six weeks before the convention hack89 Jun 2016 #73

We can at least agree that she fought straight through California, right? Tom Rinaldo Jun 2016 #84

He never said he refuses "to join with Democrats to defeat trump". Duval Jun 2016 #144

Sanders has already pledged himself to support the nominee. Orsino Jun 2016 #102

Me too. I'm not clear what point you are making Tom Rinaldo Jun 2016 #108

If Sanders endorses Clinton, would he lose your respect, too? n/t Orsino Jun 2016 #109

Of course not Tom Rinaldo Jun 2016 #110

It is not about us. But you. Are you wiiling to hand the WH to repugs. All yours to do. seabeyond Jun 2016 #114

See how tidy brevity can be? nt LaydeeBug Jun 2016 #178

Yup. That's how "Make America Great Again" gets accepted as a platform Tom Rinaldo Jun 2016 #179

Or how bloviating diatribes get defeated outright, like HRC nt LaydeeBug Jun 2016 #181

I was talking about a specific form of hypocracy Tom Rinaldo Jun 2016 #182
