"will do anything to keep Bernie from winning the nomination..." brooklynite Dec 2018 #7

If only that were all that were done. Well, I remember other persuasive means being used. aikoaiko Dec 2018 #10

What persuasive means? A primary is held every four years. Someone wins, and someone loses... Demsrule86 Dec 2018 #19

Totally agree marlakay Dec 2018 #9

Bernie isn't "splitting the Democratic Party" -- it's already split. Jim Lane Dec 2018 #12

We will always have areas of disagreement. Demsrule86 Dec 2018 #17

This is just an admission that you want to be appealed to R B Garr Dec 2018 #77

How about tell me what you are saying. You kind of have to appeal to somebody with an argument JCanete Dec 2018 #81

No one has to revise what Mueller says when it's so R B Garr Dec 2018 #84
