I'm not actually making that up, sadly. I actually saw people say those things.

It didn't catch on though so they went back to attacking Bernie's supporters over something that happened somewhere sometime.

New memes are expensive and don't come with guarantees.

Not one.

But they probably don't believe there is one. I actually had one, can't remember which one of the H latinas ask me what groups. I gave her a list...but I know more now. Because we keep adding more hash tags. Lots of groups.

It would be great if at least all the Dem primary candidates could stick to issues voters care about,
instead of peddling hit pieces.

Thanks for letting me know

He has a 'problem' with race

He has a 'problem' with women

He is a (gasp) socialist!

Israel is 'supporting' him in return for future favors

He isn't 'real;' he is just spreading 'fairy dust'

America will be a horrible place if he gets his way

He wants to create a 'new elite' (I guess those people drive Volvos)

He's too old

The things he wants to do will cost too much

Can't think of anything else.

Also heard...

He would be ineffective at bringing the country together

He would be highly partisan and Congress would do nothing (as though they are now)

I hear he kicks kittens!

Also, something about mental masturbation... still trying to work the logic out of that one.

Oh, and everyone gets defensive when asked where they stand on the ISSUES instead of which candidate they like.

are his own worst enemy.

Soon it will be time for the gun thing again.

Then something from 1969, probably.
