167. Who says I am giving up on the WH? Quite the opposite, Hillary will lose and/or be

indicted in my opinion. Besides, the anti-establishment voters will vote on someone, Bernie or Trump. The Establishment is out of it, they just don't know it yet, or they have it rigged and will try to steal it. To put establishment Hillary, with all of her negatives, against Trump (even with his negatives) is setting us up for a loss.

I get it, you choose to ignore Hillary's dirty tricks, criminal conduct, corporate money (influence peddling), lying, and elitist attitude because you want to believe she will win. Your unsolicited condescension to me is not appreciated.

Bernie may not beat Hillary in the Primary, but if he does beat her he will smoke Trump or either of the other two "losers". He may not be able to pass all of his agenda, but that depends on us to make the political revolution successful, but at least we will be doing something to try and end the quid pro quo that Hillary is the poster child for!
