Ever gracious...

The WA state convention chose delegates today.

This Sanders delegate concludes these incoherent comments with "F--- Hillary". The rest of the Sanders people in the room hooted and cheered. Who *are* these people?

Then they went all NYC cop v De Blasio and turned their backs on Rep Rick Larson, a superdel, for supporting Hillary. A "public shunning" they call it here. So Amish sometimes! "A thing of beauty" they call it.

Here's Rep Larson being a good sport on Colbert's old 'Better know a district' bit

Larson is one of hundreds who know Hillary will be the best president.

Better than booing, or calling out obscene insults, if those are the options, I guess.

Hillary is also supposed to reach out to them for them to support her.

We all saw how well the republicans reaching out to the teabaggers and bringing them into the fold is working for them. Trump is their leader.

It's so insincere to be so concerned about us (black democrats) and our history with the Clintons (good and bad) and then continue to use such a word that you "concerned trolled" into meaning the Clintons were racist in the 90s. Hell, "superpredator" has been used more times by white progressives than it has Hillary at this point.

I could only make out something about Honduras and the giant, well received FU. I didn't go back to decipher the rest of his rant.

Agree about that ugly word. She used the word specifically and when it became all wrapped up in racist connotation, she said she regretted it. I don't want a pres too stubborn to learn!

I've gotten hides for using the S word. Accused me of red-baiting, which is funny since I'm a socialist!

easily they will hide you for red-baiting, yet will make the "How can she be losing to a 74 year old Socialist?" argument when they're trying to bash Hillary's strengths.
