Sounds like you were really behind Bernie's message and approach from the start.

Hillary has always struck me as a craven opportunist. From her Senate run in a pre-selected state to maximize the chances of winning to her first presidential run of "inevitability" to her current run as Red Riding Hood for the 1%. She is fake to her core....the laugh....the pointing into the audience and making ridiculous faces after debates or on the campaign trail....the "I found my voice" into 2008 only to come out in 2015 as the same tone deaf idiot candidate again.

She is an unworthy successor to the mantle of FDR, JFK and LBJ. She is bought and paid for already and the quid pro quo here is either she pays back the corporate donors in office or with free speeches after she loses.

9/11? Are you fucking kidding me?

What next Hill? You gonna try to convince me that shopping and vacations are my patriotic duty too?
