(30,481 posts)The things people are claiming are so far outside of reality that they are already on the edge. Just in the last couple of weeks.
Hillary had an old man beat up.
Hillary will make excuses to not show up to the debates because she is scared.
Hillary didn't use the appropriate language when shitting on Trump.
Hillary could care less about minorities and the oppressed.
O'Malley is responsible for the deaths of many minorities.
O'Malley is third way.
It's pretty clear they don't have the confidence they did just a month ago. It's sad for Sanders that his base has taken an us against the world attitude in social media and blogs. That concept itself has put them in the mindset they are on the battlefield. The exact opposite of O'Malley and why O'Malley is going to start moving forward. O'Malley is giving up nothing while being very consistent and non-offensive. A true executive.
It is wrong to call what Sanders himself is doing as a traveling circus. Aspects of his support might make it appear that way if you read them on blogs and social media. In reality he is doing a great job and making the party better.
