I am ashamed of the lies being told on a Progressive forum.

It is against the rules to call out any poster by name, so I will simply post this one thing and let the rest of you draw your own conclusions.

"Let me tell you right now what no other candidate will tell you. And that is, no one who is elected President of the United States can do it alone. No one in the White House will have the power to take on Wall Street alone, Corporate America alone, the billionaire class alone. The only way that change takes place, is when we develope that strong grass roots movement. Make that political revolution, stand together, and then we bring about change."

It's one of the biggest reasons I'm supporting Clinton. I don't believe Sanders has the clout or coalition to get anything done. If you want to say he has the people, I believe I will be able to point out why he doesn't even have that after the Super Tuesday results are in. Maybe before.
