97. Considering the nature of the response

Wed Dec 9, 2015, 06:32 PM

Dec 2015

to your belief that Bernie declined to address a question about ISIS-- that he wanted the entirety of the press conference to be about the tragedy of poverty in the black community--- then, yes, maybe you should go as YOU seem to be out of your depth. And the reason Clinton was brought up in my reply was to indicate that she is not someone to be trusted in her opinions on anything as she claims she was attacked by snipers when this was a falsehood. Bernie has responded to ISIS (for the umpteenth time), but this FACT seems to go over your head. There are other problems this country faces, even if you nor the media wants us to focus on them.

Oh: and your use of the emoticon of rolling on the floor with laughter does not strengthen your case...FYI
