Don't blame Bernie for your shitty candidate [View all]

We tried to warn you that she wasn't fit for the GE and that Trump is going to be tougher than her supporters thought.

But already the drums of 'THANKS BERNIE' are beating, because he dared to offer an alternative during the primary.

We were told she was vetted. We were told she was tough.

If she can't handle the rigors of the GE, well then, we warned you.
