And the DU Hillary club will block you from their group which you never post in!

I'm still waiting to see one of her equally enthusiastic rallies. Even Obama's rallies never came close to the level of energy and enthusiasm that Bernie's inspire! He truly is making history!

I was responding to something equally insulting and naturally they kept that but I got spanked. irony. I stood up for someone else who clearly wasn't the liar and I got it. do'h. okay fine clearly Hillary does not want any votes. just wants to make it look good.

I wouldn't have been thrilled about it, but I would voted for the lesser of evils again. But since her supporters have been so vile and arrogant this entire primary, constantly demanding that we all fall in line and *never* actually making a decent case for their candidate based on the issue, I doubt that I could hold my nose again. That kind of contempt and arrogance shouldn't be rewarded.

I won't reward anyone for essentially cheating and behaving contemptuously toward a democratic process. It doesn't bode well for what type of leadership we would be in for.

I was looking this morning and one of the chosen few was telling their followers that they could still K and R a hidden post "by the rules". I looked at the post and I'm not sure how it got hidden, it was pro HRC and basically said that all these pro HRC pundits can't be wrong because there are great people. I mean easy enough to dispute if you what to take the time, so it begs the question "why was it hidden?" Did they get a jury of Bernie supporters that did a "tit for tat"? I'd like to think that we are not like that. but sometimes I wonder if we don't have a few. Bernie takes the high road, it's one of the reasons I've supported him for years. So back to the point. whats going on with the HRC supporters here? Are they a bunch of paid shills and getting posts hidden by their own to look like a martyr? Am I going off the deep end? It just seems like there is some people just can't see the forest because of the trees in the way...

elusive 2:1 ratio of blocked members to subscribers.

It's approximately 425 blocks to 260 members now, give or take.

A nice metaphor for Clinton's sense of inclusiveness, maybe.

Banning with a 2:1 ratio within the democrat community and they think they can survive a general election? What a sick joke. They should all be banned from our party for trying to tank the national election with their selfish, myopic delusions of grandeur. They remind me of Frank Burns from M.A.S.H.

The 15,000 is just in the main auditorium. The overflow had about 5,000. The lines were around the block. There were at least two lines 3 blocks long. There was a late start because it's very hard to seat 20,000 people quickly.

return. It's clear that the need for and dishing out of cash has not been a problem up until now. She's had plenty of it...but that was from when she was "inevitable" and Sanders was "a disheveled old man". LOL

Who could have guessed that when he said no politics as usual, he was already doing it...attack me and I get more money and votes. That's standing the status quo on its proverbial head.

Plan B?
