And from what my friend said she was FUMING. Kind of said he basically has decided that Bernie CAN'T run as a Democrat because he's a Socialist! I DO know how much this is an issue here, but Bernie has always voted with Democrats and is actually much more like the Democrats of the Party I joined in the first place.

Almost seems they've signed their names with a blood oath.
I've NEVER seen a anything like this from Congressional or Public leaders rolling over like this.
Oh, and yes, it's that Harold Ford, Jr. who ran for Senator in TN and lost!

Hmm that'd be chaos. Wouldn't require the release of all HRC's Superdelegates?
