"BoB" = "Bernie or Bust" (in case you didn't know)

It this your argument for a bunch of white males deciding the nominee in the end?
It does go hand in hand with the property owner argument I have seen from Sanders supporters here.

(30,481 posts)12. Never mind.
Thought you were trying to make a point, otherwise known as an argument. Thanks for clearing up the fact that you didn't have a point.
