78. I have a friend who is not so political but considers herself a liberal

Tue Oct 6, 2015, 07:01 PM

Oct 2015

I asked her about Bernie, she didn't know who he was! I told her to check him out. She's also is appalled that Trump is ahead in the GOP. She watches the regular news at night and likes Hillary.

The MSM is trying to suppress Bernie and push Hillary. I actually like Hillary and will vote for her if she is the nominee but in the primary I'm voting for Bernie.
