(744 posts)86. Oh, I think that answer is obvious.
I think all of what is going on here is obvious. You have a Hillary-supporting site admin keeping the fires of rage fueled at at the highest notch on the dial for weeks and weeks, long after such vitriol will have any actual effect on the election. All of this fighting must generate incredible ad views. I will say, it is a bit cruel of a Hillary supporter to do that to so many Bernie fans because it's only going to result in a far greater emotional crash when they finally accept that he's not going to be the nominee.

They're just plain silly. I dislike Hillary but I dismiss silly crap like that automatically.

He persuaded Republicans (i.e. clueless rubes) - Dems are not so gullible.

Because Hillary just looks so much worse in many different ways if this goes down.

I no longer view him as positive. Cornell West & Zogby were the very last straw for me.

What 'punked"? Did Trump lie when Kimmel asked him to debate Sanders and Trump said yes?

So Trump lied when he said he would debate. I guess Trump got scared when Sanders accepted.

Because Sanders had the temerity to stand in the way of the final ascension of oligarchy.
