I am a member of a NW Tribe... Rockyj Jul 2015 #111

Fantastic. I know that his main hurdle is going to be letting people know who he is. sabrina 1 Jul 2015 #125

181 followers at BlacksforBernie. 242 followers for POCforBernie Number23 Jul 2015 #71

At that rate, he'll have enough supporters for the nomination in BainsBane Jul 2015 #79

Another example of hides bad hides against HRC supporters. hrmjustin Jul 2015 #130

But a good example of the nasty tone BrotherIvan Jul 2015 #152

who's he? BrotherIvan Jul 2015 #159

Lee Atwater. hrmjustin Jul 2015 #160

I know who lee atwater is, but what does that have to do with above hidden post? BrotherIvan Jul 2015 #161

Mid way you will see a large subthread. hrmjustin Jul 2015 #162

That is deflecting from what is happening in this thread BrotherIvan Jul 2015 #165

That was a horrible hide below she! hrmjustin Jul 2015 #129

Do they need you to "hold their hand" (using your words) and post for them? bettyellen Jul 2015 #140

Oh hi bettyellen! BrotherIvan Jul 2015 #145

You think they need anyone to hold their hand? Really? But there again you make my point. Look down sabrina 1 Jul 2015 #146
