31. IOW: "Those grapes were sour anyway." ATP: It looks like Bernie can't AFFORD to be so picky about

who endorses him and should probably take anyone he can get. Both he AND his hardcore supporters should welcome anyone, no matter HOW "smarmy".

Hillary supporters know full well that if Grayson had endorsed Bernie, his fans would be jumping for joy!

SAY IT AIN�T SO: ALAN GRAYSON ENDORSES HILLARY CLINTON * [View all] DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 OP

Let 'em. Let 'em all. Fawke Em Nov 2015 #1

Thank you for your input and may the rest of your life be the best of your life. DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #6

Not quite... Bubzer Nov 2015 #75

Res ipsa loquitur DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #80

Still not an endorsement. Bubzer Nov 2015 #81

If I am on a list of supporters how could I not be a supporter? DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #86

You don't know his reasons for joining the leadership council and niether do I. Bubzer Nov 2015 #91

I seem to recall hearing that Grayson said something about Sanders once. naoya6161 Nov 2015 #93

Let me explain it like this... DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #95

Agreed. Assuming you knew about it. That website isn't exactly mainstream. Bubzer Nov 2015 #106

Hope dies hard! And around here it dies hard about 20 times a day! Walk away Nov 2015 #171

There are quite a few throwing him under the bus already. Take a look at his facebook page. Bubzer Nov 2015 #172

Well,he is a Democrat and it stands to reason he would support a Democrat.... Walk away Nov 2015 #173

Now that's just plain old denial. Gman Nov 2015 #96

Except this hasn't been confirmed outside of that no-name website. Bubzer Nov 2015 #101

Well, it's real. It happened. Gman Nov 2015 #105

Says a single website. You can believe it if you want, but I have a slightly higher bar to belief. Bubzer Nov 2015 #110

Well then good luck with Sanders Gman Nov 2015 #113

Have you called or emailed his office to confirm? zappaman Nov 2015 #114

And messaged him via facebook. Hoping to find out for sure one way or another. Bubzer Nov 2015 #117

Twitter would be another outlet. n/t zappaman Nov 2015 #120

Not a bad idea. I dont do twitter, but he might have made mention of it there. Bubzer Nov 2015 #121

I looked on Twitter Mnpaul Nov 2015 #151

Actually, not just a single website. naoya6161 Nov 2015 #115

Grayson's campaign confirmed nicsand Nov 2015 #177

Noted. Thanks for the confirmation. Bubzer Nov 2015 #180

It really did happen, and here's a link to a reputable website that confirms it naoya6161 Nov 2015 #107

Eh...that's not much of a confirmation. It does lend some credence to the claim, I'll admit. Bubzer Nov 2015 #116

Grayson jumped the shark for me when he got on the Ebola panic bandwagon. I got a fundraising call Erose999 Nov 2015 #122

Of course Gayson endorsed Hillary lewebley3 Nov 2015 #28

Isn't he trying to redeem himself? notadmblnd Nov 2015 #85

Doesn't need to redeem himself : He is a progressive like Hillary lewebley3 Nov 2015 #88

Where's the ALL CAPS SWARM? Segami Nov 2015 #2

Where to next? Under the bus? NurseJackie Nov 2015 #3

Grayson has been under the bus here on DU for ages. By some of the very Autumn Nov 2015 #18

You busted me. DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #125

You redeemed yourself senz Nov 2015 #127

The oligarchy preceded you and I and it will succeed you and I. DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #131

Yes, we should all just give up. I mean, er, what? n/t JonLeibowitz Nov 2015 #149

When you topple the oligarchy please let me know. DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #163

I don't actually care about toppling an oligarchy JonLeibowitz Nov 2015 #165

Maybe... MoonchildCA Nov 2015 #156

Excellent philosophy! NurseJackie Nov 2015 #159

Honestly, I'll vote for Hillary, if she's the nominee... MoonchildCA Nov 2015 #161

Insert "Bernie" where you wrote "Hillary", and change "he's" where you wrote "she's" � NurseJackie Nov 2015 #166

Oh dear .... ronnykmarshall Nov 2015 #76

Indeed! MoonchildCA Nov 2015 #158

He might be a member of DU Art_from_Ark Nov 2015 #178

He used to a few years ago Gman Nov 2015 #179

Something just occurred to me. DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #43

Irrelevant. Gman Nov 2015 #111

Uh no. I most certainly did not hope for an endorsement from him cali Nov 2015 #58

I can understand why you'd say that ... NurseJackie Nov 2015 #62

No. You really can't. You cali Nov 2015 #66

Irrelevant. Bernie needs endorsements. NurseJackie Nov 2015 #68

Cali is no fan of Grayson, you should search her posting history. tammywammy Nov 2015 #74

I have no doubts about that. I already told her that I believed her. No searching needed. NurseJackie Nov 2015 #82

I don't need to pretend anything, dear nurse. cali Nov 2015 #77

Sounds like someone's trying to hide their disappointment. NurseJackie Nov 2015 #83

Good grief. Do try a wee bit of logic cali Nov 2015 #87

Because you'd hoped Bernie's endorsement numbers would have improved by now, NurseJackie Nov 2015 #89

I am not particularly a fan of his but I see his endorsement is upsetting all the right people. DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #27

Same here, DSB. BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #63
