The dust up between Hillary & Bernie proved one thing

It proved that Bernie can not only take a punch he can when nessary give as good as he gets. The world now knows that ether of our candidates will have the back bone to stand up to what ever sh*t the Rebuplican throw at them this fall. Some had questioned whether Bernie would be able to hit back if he needed to, now they know.

He's won elections for 35 years running as a Democratic socialist.

He ripped homophobe Duke Cunningham to shreds on the House floor in the 1990's. He tore Alan Greenspan a new one on multiple occasions when Greenspan was testifying to the House.

How stupid would somebody have to be to think he wasn't tough?

Too many people do not do their home work and would not have seen Bernie in action before, this week has been quite the education for them.

helping to unhinge Hillary.

I'll quit thinking of her as a right winger and start thinking of her as a wingbat now. She flies all over the place like a crazy bat.
