Related: About this forumHillary and her surrogates cannot find common ground with Sanders and his liberal hippie followers.
Makes you wonder how she's going to bring Paul Ryan and a nation that's chock-full of Republucans "to heel" (as she likes to say) much less how she'd find common ground with antagonistic leaders in Russia and China.
Yeah, we got a foolproof plan working here.

You and your sour grape crowd can join us or not. It's up to you. Either way we will have progressive change with you or without you.

(4,225 posts)This was at the Sixth Congressional District Caucus in Washington btw. The numbers above refer to Bernie delegates only; Clinton supporters got to elect two delegates to national from a pool of 45 who were delegates to the CD caucus.
Of the 103 Bernie delegates, approximately 80 ran for national. And of those eighty, about a quarter specifically said they were Bernie or Bust.
That is not a majority, but neither is it an insignificant percentage.
For the record, I'm a Bernie supporter as well. My view is that Hillary will get us into World War III; Trump will get us into three world wars. One option is still demonstrably better than the other, and for that reason I am NOT Bernie or Bust. I'll vote for the Democratic nominee, but that is obviously not a ringing endorsement thereof.

(15,805 posts)She just left a job that had her going face to face with "antagonistic leaders" from all over the word. She already outgamed Sanders, so why do you expect the hippy kids are going to be a challenge to her?
Pffft... so much for your little foolproof tirade, yeah?

(1,198 posts)She outplayed them so much that it looks like she caved into Bush when geniuses like you know the truth - Hillary fooled the Republicans into supporting her agenda, not vice versa.

(28,270 posts)I would gladly vote for Bernie vs Trump any day, any time, crawl on my belly over broken glass to do so.
But he did not win the primary, Hillary did.
Most democrats are not idiots and tools for Trump and his hate filled party.

Hate to burst your bubble but Bernie attracts conservatives, moderates, liberals, and very liberal.
Oh my, how can that be
