66. That's what the republican claims. GAH. Another take down piece. Taking down

progressives one at a time. Next will be Warren. Until we are just back to being beholden to the corporate oligarchs again. It has become so apparent because there is a Bernie take down piece daily. He is the one progressive they are most fearful of and it's sad to watch the ignorant dogpile on Bernie knowing it really is an attempt to takedown all progressives. Look at the piece again. It's based on hearsay. It depicts with demeaning terms like bare chested surrounded by vodka bottles. It is trivial and says nothing of importance to today's campaign except to try to make Bernie look bad. So why write something so meaningless except to be demeaning. Which begs the question, why post it again here unless you are just being hateful, seeking any reason to make Bernie look bad. It doesn't. It's just another republican hearsay hit piece designed to rally the anti-Bernie-progressive crowd attacking democrats they don't like. What if he becomes our candidate? Will you vote for him or will you still be posting republican quoted hit pieces?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
