The arrogance of SOME of Bernie's supporters is mind-boggling. They (the percentage I'm referring to) have the audacity, on a regular basis, to tell black posters and black people how to THINK and how to FEEL about everything. That's wrong. As I've said several times, I'll follow the lead of the black community on issues directly related to it.

Come back to DU when you feel like it. It gives me no pleasure to say this, but at the rate his campaign is going, he is going to lose the primaries, starting in South Carolina if not earlier. His percentages in the AA community are very low, too low, to win the primaries or the GE. I said weeks ago that he needed to "camp out" in the communities with large AA populations, and I still think that's what he should do. Will he do it ? I doubt it, but I'd be glad to be wrong.

I won't be surprised if I get my very first hide in over ten years for this post.

What type of wine goes with pheasant? I'll have some. bravenak Dec 2015 #57

Okay, so pheasant is a bird so doesn't that mean it has to be a red wine? Number23 Dec 2015 #59

I might try that wine. I have been drinking too much riesling. bravenak Dec 2015 #60

Wine tangent again... LuvLoogie Dec 2015 #106
