74. Skinner should also have announced that after

Jun 2016

the last primary, this site will undergo a name change and will henceforth be known as DINO Above Ground. This place has been my cyber political home since 2001. I have long been a poster and a financial contributor, not only of the site but to many worthy causes championed here. Among others, I gave to the flowers for Helen Thomas fund and contributed to helping a great DUer Andy Stephenson pay medical bills. I mourned Andy's death and the deaths of the legendary Khephra and many others we've lost along the way. This place is like family to me, and I resent that I'm going to be shunned and silenced because I refuse to get in line behind a deeply flawed candidate whose views I don't agree with.

When this place becomes Hillary Central after the primary season but before the convention (completely ridiculous), Skinner should be prepared for a mass exodus. No Bernie supporter is going to want to spend time in a fawning, sycophant-ridden pro Hillary echo chamber.
