135. I know. Most of you are probably just as upset as I am. I still love you guys. Just not the few

who are acting out of pocket. I think by next week they'll mostly see that I was right. And truthfully, I think quite a few of the nastiest don't really support Sanders so much as hate Hillary and Obama. Those are the ones who are being nasty to me these days. Not the genuine supporters who actually like people.
