Wow. So it really looks like, if our candidate had been Bernie, we would have won those three states thesquanderer Apr 2019 #30

No. He would have had to win he primary first. N/T lapucelle Apr 2019 #33

Well of course, he couldn't beat Trump without getting on the ballot! thesquanderer Apr 2019 #37

Yes, but he didn't. Either his voters id not show up or there weren't enough of them. N/T lapucelle Apr 2019 #39

Yep, but let's all blame Bernie. SMC22307 Apr 2019 #83

If ALL Trump voters are racist, why did some of them particularly in the rust belt states Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #16

The always leave that part out. ALWAYS. SMC22307 Apr 2019 #23

voting for Obama doesn't mean one can't be racist. the economy was a mess at the time JI7 Apr 2019 #29

If ALL Trump voters had been racist, they wouldn't have voted for Candidate Obama Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #32

no, all racists are not kkk , no nazi types. many are nice to a black mailman JI7 Apr 2019 #35

The problem is the messenger. crazytown Apr 2019 #10

The solution is with the message and no one carries the message with greater authenticity Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #11

I personally do not think the electorate is looking for (another) angry man crazytown Apr 2019 #12

Yes, because saying those that don't bow down to the almighty BS have "impotence" isn't divisive n/t SFnomad Apr 2019 #72

Guess not... nevermind. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #74

If you don't want divisiveness ... don't put it in the OP. It's not rocket science n/t SFnomad Apr 2019 #75
