That because Rev. Al was meeting with Bernie a couple days ago...that he, the Rev., doesn't represent the AA community.

I guess the point was only because he met with Bernie and there was a worry that the Rev. might say something nice about Bernie.

My feeling is...Al is Establishment Elite and is unfortunately in the tank for her.

I sure would like to be proven wrong but I'm not hopeful.

I have never once voted for or against anyone because of an endorsement...or their religion, color, or sex.

that Bernie hasn't shown that he has specific plans and hasn't said how he is going to pay for everything. That's just not true. It's all online.

He is going to endorse Hillary. I'm not sure why he hasn't yet.
