7. I have to laugh at the child-like or condescendingly dismissive assertion (wish? hope?)

that all it will take is a speech from Bernie to get those who hate Hillary's stances ON THE ISSUES to just meekly fall in line.
Bernie knows that. As my sig line says - Bernie is not the Pied Piper. He is a harbinger.

Hell, there is not even a speech that could convince me to keep my party membership, at this point. Pushing a candidate who loves war and fracking, etc. How the hell is that the Democratic Party?

He should work on writing a really good speech for the convention. n/t PoliticAverse Jun 2016 #1

lol. Well no one said it would be easy, which is why he needs to start working on it now. n/t PoliticAverse Jun 2016 #4
I doubt he'd give the speech I really want to hear. LWolf Jun 2016 #5
I'm thinking he makes a case for 2 or 3 of his most important issues... PoliticAverse Jun 2016 #6

Here is the trouble with some very smart people - they believe everybody else is stupid. djean111 Jun 2016 #10
We get a lot of that here, too. Miles Archer Jun 2016 #14
I agree. LWolf Jun 2016 #16
I agree with you 100% Miles Archer Jun 2016 #13
Yes. nt LWolf Jun 2016 #15
I don't think Bernie needs or wants advice from Mother Jones. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #11
Well, one of his problems is that he doesn't take others' advice at all, so that's not surprising. BobbyDrake Jun 2016 #17
Really tired of people that have no idea about Bernie posting crap like that. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #18
I've watched him campaign. He doesn't do events where people speak to him, only ones where he's the BobbyDrake Jun 2016 #19
Peolple that have no idea about Bernie shouldn't display their ignorance. Live and Learn Jun 2016 #20
I think you're projecting, especially how for two comments you've had no reply but insults at me. BobbyDrake Jun 2016 #21
I stand by my post. You are simply wrong. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #22
Concede and endorse...no concession then no speech. nt Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #24
Would seppuku show sufficient shame and remorse for his awful transgressions? Fumesucker Jun 2016 #25
Keep the momentum going. LWolf Jun 2016 #26
