68. Clinton would not divulge that stuff. And she didn't have to as she beat him easily.

If you think the repugs won't though, that would be extremely naive.

It's surprising and so discouraging to me that so few people know about the tons of baggage Sanders is lugging around, and don't seem to even want to know—the Sandanista stuff, the Castro stuff, the Socialist Workers Party stuff, the Moscow honeymoon stuff, and on and on and on.

We'll get hit with a freight train of this oppo research if he gets the nomination and trump will get four more years.

People need to wake up and stop acting like it's nothing.

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

Which democrats has he disparaged? bluewater Feb 2020 #43
Mike Bloomberg, per the thread we're posting on Happyhippychick Feb 2020 #44
That wasn't Bernie Sanders. That was Symone Sanders. bluewater Feb 2020 #45
Maybe you should have put "Symone" in your thread title instead of tricking people. BlueStater Feb 2020 #53
