and keep talking about Sanders' internet supporters and how miffed they are and how random internet posters have changed their minds about Sanders, blah, blah, blah. oh and they are also mad because Sanders' has been criticizing obama for SEVEN years and apparently that has pissed a lot of black (DU) voters off and they are also very, very resentful. and and angry...and who will vote for a crusty old socialist anyway! certainly not god-fearing black voters. a white DUer told me he knows how black americans will vote...cause he knows a lot of us...and they will not vote for a socialist!!!! at least they don't harp on BLM anymore, since i keep reminding them that sanders hired a BLM activist as his press secretary. the minions are getting sillier with each percentage point Sanders gains.
