"kids bullshit" - I'm 52. They are kids to me. Instead of addressing my point, you fixate on something silly, doing your best to insult me.

The kids (or BLM) need to propose legislation. That's funny, original too. It's especially funny when you consider Bernie has routinely proposed legislation this year that ties in with his campaign.

Hillary statements - ALL IRRELEVANT.

If Bernie wants to win he needs to get the BLM constituency....period, end of story. Stop feeling sorry for him. He's in the big leagues now. If Hillary has an advantage now, gets a pass on some things, so what?

Bernie and his supporters need to stop making excuses and get the job done!

He should have had security so NO ONE could have gotten onto the stage BillZBubb Aug 2015 #15

Maybe he doesn't have the money for security as of yet? notadmblnd Aug 2015 #16
