2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Rigged race means Hillary takes more delegates in Bernie’s Wyoming win [View all]RiverLover
(7,830 posts)44. Well, cons will be cons.
This liberal is frustrated with a rigged system, not bitter.
Nothing will change if Hillary gets the nom. If she's president, she has many "commitments" to repay & things could get much, much worse. Like Bill, she'll enact many republican policies as a Democrat....
Not bitter. Frustrated, and a bit sad about our future as a nation.
