Serious question.

With reports from AZ & upcoming closed primary states of party affiliation being flipped, who are the ones with access to do that? Since it is happening in multiple states, it can't just be a glitch.

So, who has the capability to do so?

Ex Speaker Dennis Hastert threatens victim...

Ex GOP Speaker of the House threatens to cross examine his victim in court if he testifies. When a defendant accused of rape states that they will cross examine the victim, they are saying that they will put on record all of the victims sexual proclivities and that, when such happens, the defense will not only prove the victim wanted it, they will have embarrassed the victim further in public. This POS ran as a family values candidate and now is threatening his victim. I hope he rots in jail for the rest of his life.

Disenfranchisement isn't acceptable...

The fact that there were first hand accounts of election fraud and numerous other examples of eligible voters being disenfranchised should be worrisome to all Democrats. This isn't a Sanders v. Clinton issue, this is an issue all of us should be, regardless of who we support, concerned about. AZ is a GOP stronghold where the Republicans ultimately run the election process. Given the evidence, there is a clear case of election fraud or at least 'negligence' on part of those administrators responsible for the vote. Instead wasting our time and energy by accusing Sanders supporters of being sore losers or accusing Clinton of some sort of conspiracy, we should be focusing on ensuring that the AZ Republican party cannot pull this BS in the GE. This was just their test run..

This is why we have to unite behind either Sanders or Clinton

After it is decided who will be the democrat candidate, we have to unite and ensure that Trump will not win. Otherwise, we will have 4 or 8 years of his supporters intimidating those that oppose him with threats like these:

. An 84-year-old woman who fled Austria as a child with her family to escape the Nazis was mailed a KKK symbol after openly criticizing GOP front-runner Donald Trump, according to the Boston Globe.

Louise Mayerson told the paper she received the anonymous envelope in the mail after writing a letter that was published in the Globe earlier this month.

“I have found some alarming rhetoric coming from Donald Trump that is apparently finding approval from large numbers of my fellow Americans,” she wrote. “With Trump’s rather ambiguous response concerning his disavowal of the support of former Klansman David Duke, I have reached my breaking point”

Just days later, she received the envelope containing a square white cross and red background, the symbol of America’s oldest and most violent hate group..

To Sanders supports, today we make an important decision:

We are faced with a momentous decision: it is St. Patricks day and should we stick with the more popular Irish beer Guinness? Or, should we choose the less popular, yet objectively better, Irish beer Smithwick's?

I go with Smithwick's. And Bernie!

I just figured we needed something light hearted after Tuesday

Funerals are for the living...

..Not the dead. Personally, I grew up Catholic -- and went through 16 years of Catholic education (the last 4 by choice). That said, I am personally agnostic, but I would opt for a religious funeral. The reason being, a majority of my family is religious & it would be more comforting for them if it was done in the Catholic tradition. In the end, my funeral is not fully my own, but for those that are grieving & I do not feel it is time to deviate from their traditions and substitute my own non-religious feelings in their time of loss and pain.

That being said, lets hope that my funeral is a long time away

Sanders/Clinton v. Trump townhall question...

.... the reality is only one of the two candidates took money from Trump for their campaign and it wasn't Sanders. If it were me, I would have asked that.

Bernie at the town hall.

Is it me or does Bernie sound like an angry, disappointed father tonight because he is disgusted at the way this last weekend has gone?

Just saying hi!

I have been reading DU for a while now, and figured I would join in on the conversations!

Cheers!
