Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! Her Sister Jun 2016 #10

If you cannot pick up the remaining 18% on the Left, which you cannot without a Sanders endorsement, MohRokTah Jun 2016 #13

Suspect 18%'s now too high, Moh. And reality is Hortensis Jul 2016 #99

What you said! Especially the first couple of lines. Surya Gayatri Jun 2016 #49

Funny you should ask. I was wondering that myself! Surya Gayatri Jun 2016 #16

Right! The word "shortly"'s meaning is getting some modification I was not aware of? Her Sister Jun 2016 #22

We need an appendixed glossary just to understand the nuances... Surya Gayatri Jun 2016 #44

Perhaps short as in "less than?" Maru Kitteh Jul 2016 #139

Woah! That word, "short", is trickier than I thought! Her Sister Jul 2016 #140

So many layers. Maru Kitteh Jul 2016 #141

Message auto-removed Name removed Jul 2016 #112

He's not going to do it. He doesn't really care about the threat from Trump. He's just mad now. Squinch Jun 2016 #55

Yes, I realize maybe it's best if he doesn't help defeat Trump Her Sister Jun 2016 #67

Yes. I think it's best that he doesn't endorse, so he doesn't have to be given a speaking spot. Squinch Jun 2016 #68

Again yes! When people show you who they are, believe them! Her Sister Jun 2016 #69

And at this point he's the uncle who says something embarassing about your new Squinch Jun 2016 #70

At this point, it appears that Sanders is as self-interested as a politician can be. lapucelle Jun 2016 #57

Again: Time is of the essence. Trump is no joke. Her Sister Jun 2016 #77

Trump is a joke, one who is well on his way to defeating himself. Orsino Jun 2016 #78

Trump and GOP are not a "joke" joke. Her Sister Jun 2016 #79

George W. Bush was quite a joke too. Maru Kitteh Jul 2016 #142

I don't think time is of the essence any more. murielm99 Jul 2016 #82

You seem to be implying Hillary can't defeat Trump on her own. Vinca Jul 2016 #89

Ooops! Your agenda is showing! Hey, cover yourself! Her Sister Jul 2016 #90

As if your agenda wasn't showing. Vinca Jul 2016 #91

Hahaha! Using the word "Hate" so quickly! Guess you stopped me on my tracks! Her Sister Jul 2016 #93

Your agenda here is to criticize the candidate who placed second, to cause division among voters Bluenorthwest Jul 2016 #98

I'm asking a legitimate question since the Senator used those words! going to defeat Trump "shortly" Her Sister Jul 2016 #100

Or just wanting the guy to keep his word uponit7771 Jul 2016 #114

Why should you care if he keeps his word? You're not a supporter of his. Vinca Jul 2016 #133

Do you think kacekwl Jul 2016 #105

We could debate that. The question is does the platform matter stevenleser Jul 2016 #145

I saw on an interview this weekend, Sanders already thinks he's doing much Sheepshank Jul 2016 #109

If he thinks this is "much" then he has no real intentions on endorsing Clinton whole heartily or uponit7771 Jul 2016 #113
