Can't handle the relatively mild Bernie Campaign? How will you survive Trump and the GOP? [View all]

All this delicacy and outrage over Bernie and his supporters. You'd think he was Genghis Khan and his Merciless Warriors or something.

I am really worried. Sanders and we Berniebros and Bernisisters are Pink Fluffy Bunnies compared to what's coming from Trump and the GOP.

I hope you have your smelling salts handy, or some kind of stronger medication because this is nuthin'....

But I suspect some are not as sensitive and prim and proper or as dedicated to Emily Post and Roberts Rules of Order as they are claiming.

I'm sure the police/FBI take the threats against Lange very seriously auntpurl May 2016 #74

Yes. Of course that is my opinion. auntpurl May 2016 #76
