Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumI went to a political dinner tonight.
It was a county dinner, with a drawdown, silent auction, and the usual things local Democrats do to raise money for local and state candidates. There were a few elected officials there, a lot of precinct committeemen, county chairmen, etc. There were a few speeches and lots of good food. It was fun.
There were about 75 people there, all ages. There were 3, that is right, THREE Bernie supporters. One of them was sitting at the table next to ours. When he saw my Hillary button, he would not shut up. He made loud, obnoxious comments for the next twenty minutes or so. One of the guys finally told him to quiet down.
I guess they think that noise makes up for lack of numbers.
Three! LOL. Three!

(30,736 posts)I wonder. I think he knows and hides behind them.
He does not have the money, the poll numbers, or the endorsements. He does have loud, intrusive supporters, and supporters who run roughshod over everyone on all forms of social media. I think that is his way of making up for the other things he lacks. That is a big reason he has been able to stay in the race so long.
The debates and the primaries will not come soon enough.
