Surrogates? We used to call those hatchet men Cheese Sandwich Sep 2015 #68

All the comments on the thread about surrogates treestar Sep 2015 #225

Do you really think that he was attacked? Gothmog Sep 2015 #120

Yes. SusanCalvin Sep 2015 #128

How will you handle a general election with $400 million of attack ads on Sanders? Gothmog Sep 2015 #148

As it comes. SusanCalvin Sep 2015 #152

Yes, very definately. nm rhett o rick Sep 2015 #164

Oh I read it HerbChestnut Sep 2015 #9

Some prefer Duckhunter935 Sep 2015 #20

Why should SHE advocate what will help YOUR choice not her? VanillaRhapsody Sep 2015 #31

Well he is more of a democrat Duckhunter935 Sep 2015 #34

No actually he isn't....he doesn't even call himself one... VanillaRhapsody Sep 2015 #39

in 2008 she said limiting debates was, 'Unamerican' AgingAmerican Sep 2015 #76

She evolved Duckhunter935 Sep 2015 #83

Why should she be campaigning to get what doesn't help her win? VanillaRhapsody Sep 2015 #123

As I posted below, apparently at something like the same time, SusanCalvin Sep 2015 #126

Her words: Unamerican AgingAmerican Sep 2015 #179

So, I'm not allowed to post at the DU now? Major Hogwash Sep 2015 #192
