A deal breaker to me. There's been a lot of hostility and craziness - Vince Foster anyone!- and then she makes light of it as if it was just a joke. Just got angry when I asked her to correct her posts saying Hillary collapsed 90
Minutes after leaving (it took 90 minutes for the press release- now she is pretending to care about that!)

I'm amazed that someone so ill informed posts so much, or that she still hasn't gotten over the primaries. She thought Obama just didn't bother to pick a Supreme Court justice. Really didn't understand why so much of what she wants is going to be determined by the USSC. Does not understand what congress has been doing to the Dems. Lots of magical thinking, but wishing someone literally ill like that is feeling like the last straw.

She hopes HRC will suspend her campaign and the runner up be made our candidate. I guess I'm going to have to block her on FB for starters. But I hate to see her constantly spread disinformation. Like telling people they can write in someone else in states they can't.

Dammit, she gets on so well with my cats too.

As far as Bernie goes GWC58 Sep 2016 #19

I'm right there with you! Would have been okay with Sanders even though bettyellen Sep 2016 #20

She is probably a bit of a fanatic where Bernie is concerned...more of a groupie than a Demsrule86 Sep 2016 #27

Well she picked up the they're all the same/ Hillary is a liar meme and will not bettyellen Sep 2016 #32

Wishing "bad things" on people is terrible LyndaG Sep 2016 #14

Ask her if she thought FDR was a great prez... fun n serious Sep 2016 #22

No excuse for your friend to do that. Ken Burch Sep 2016 #24

Agree. Demsrule86 Sep 2016 #26

She so naive about that- any new candidate would have a very tough race. bettyellen Sep 2016 #33

Bernie would never accept the nom under these circumstances. Ken Burch Sep 2016 #37

We were just talking about liars - she said she used to be one and so did another poker buddy- bettyellen Sep 2016 #38

I think there may be something going on with your friend that's not just political Ken Burch Sep 2016 #45

I have seen that too..that is what is really behind most of the concern posts. Demsrule86 Sep 2016 #25

All that move on, never mind, doesn't build trust, and quit picking on him who can't be mentioned . orpupilofnature57 Sep 2016 #28

I didn't pick on him; the primary is over...and as for trust...we don't trust those that post Demsrule86 Sep 2016 #29

Sadly I think she is losing some cognitive function? She keeps misreading things to the point that bettyellen Sep 2016 #39

You might be right about that, I've watched Foxnews turn relatives Rex Sep 2016 #40

It's odd because although she is over 60 now, she is so vital, creative and witty.... bettyellen Sep 2016 #41
