Just so you can see how many of her supporters said she was a "real Democrat" for her initial refusal.

What, exactly, would that make her now?

that you are a pandering pundit on Fox or any network.

I criticize you because of your 180º flip flop on Clinton from 2008 to the present. It shows that you have little consistency and are as malleable as your candidate is.

Personally I cheer any time Sanders gets more national attention.

to the choir, that's why I've specialized in going on various Conservative media, including Becks new network and Newsmax.

I've made all those arguments before here, but to many folks doing those networks has been a cardinal sin. Until now.
