You are looking at a different board than I am. Way more anti Hillary threads, period. randys1 Nov 2015 #14

I see criticism of HRC's positions, and lame-ass ad hominem attacks against "Sanders Supporters". Warren DeMontague Nov 2015 #22

They arent a GOP plot necessarily, but surely you admit that the randys1 Nov 2015 #26
