Do you know that he showed up to a little charity that was helping children in Haiti after all their shit and it raised $2million. He demanded and got $500K for his 'fee' for showing up. 1 quarter of the money raised to help little kids he put in his wallet. Tell me again about how Cornell West's statement trumps the shit bill does. Tell me again. Friend of pedophiles, indictments hanging over his and her head, endless stories of how his 'foundation' has harmed people overseas including the new report from Morocco. Yeah, I can see it. Not. But nice try. Its hard to find gold when you're standing in a sewer. But that's just me.

I don't consider them attacks, though. I consider it discussing differences/issues.

Dean, Weiner, Krugman..there are more.

Are the people Sanders uses 'attacking' Hillary or discussing issues/differences? <<<-----I don't consider those attacks either.

Did you hear what Kasich said?

John Kasich: Women ‘Left Their Kitchens’ to Go Out and Support Me


and this

Ohio Gov. John Kasich signed a bill Sunday prohibiting the state from contracting for health services with any organization that performs or promotes abortions, blocking government funds to Planned Parenthood



This ^^^is who they are. They'll gut SNAP, VET bennies etc.

So, no, I don't generally wonder about the race, gender or ethnicity of our candidates surrogates. My focus is keeping those^^^jackasses out of the White House.

could you explain why "white" males are of such import as opposed to males in general? It would really help me "discuss" your question if you were to do so.

I found that post to be complete nonsense but, at least, that post doesn't beat around the bush unlike your OP. Thanks for the.....clarification, it was enlightening to say the least.

I'm going with most of the liberal vets I know; and they're all going Bernie. Like me, they remember what democrats like Hillary did.
