Besides, last time I checked, it was Hillary who was running for president.

...I understand, though, measured against all of the over-the-top vitriol and invective which has been deemed acceptable by the Bernie gate-keepers here, it must have seemed tame to you.

...but all you can manage is yet another swipe.

Speaking of 'disgusting tactics', there's very little for me to 'respect or admire' of the backbiting, lurid, navel-gazing DU Sanders campaign. Take that for whatever suits your active imagination.

...that I've posted more positive THREADS about my candidate's opponents in this primary than you.

I've also posted more informative threads about my candidate than you. I don't spend my time posting hit piece after hit piece about my opponent. I spend the vast majority of my time here defending or promoting my views, NOT denigrating others for their own views, as Cali did, coming onto this thread and not even bothering to discuss the subject - as you did.

You don't have a clue about my DU 'persona.' You made that up.

Bill Clinton's age is starting to show. I've seen him on TV campaigning for Hillary and his age is showing. Unfortunately, the photos you chose to publish to make your point, don't. He looks great in those pictures. Bernie on the other hand looks old and tired. The presidency ages a person. As old as Bernie looks now, I can't see him making it through a complete term. Father Time is not on his side.

It sucks to get old. I can testify to that...

I'm sure those young folks feel exactly the same.

According to them, he looks sick, he's lost his mind thanks to his heart surgery and every other piece of filth that they could dig up.

Yeah, he looks at death's door in these photos.



Thanks for the post, Bigtree.
