i am sorry esp to ohioans if you find the term upsetting restorefreedom Oct 2015 #20

I'm disappointed that Brown isn't endorsing Bernie. phleshdef Oct 2015 #25

You can believe that if it makes you happy... MohRokTah Oct 2015 #82

then i guess he is not as progressive as i always thought. restorefreedom Oct 2015 #85

Either that, or you may want to reassess your own positions. MohRokTah Oct 2015 #86

that would be a good thread restorefreedom Oct 2015 #90

Sanders doesn't enjoy anywhere near that level of support. MohRokTah Oct 2015 #93

Ifit is already over, we should just abandon democracy and declare Hillary Queen. n/t Gore1FL Oct 2015 #121

Well, Sanders should see the writing on the wall and just drop out... MohRokTah Oct 2015 #130

Yeah! Hillary was in the race forever in 2008 Gore1FL Oct 2015 #142

She still could have pulled it out all the way into May. MohRokTah Oct 2015 #147

When did Hillary clinch? Gore1FL Oct 2015 #165

She actually had a damned good chance of winning... MohRokTah Oct 2015 #166
