(80,708 posts)though it's pretty friggin clear from the assortment of videos, etc. that no one "Chanted English Only" at her.
I said that there were an awful lot of HRC supporters who ran with that crap because it perpetuates a meme that they have been very invested in promoting for months, now, namely that Sanders' support pool is some hotbed of racism.
As for the rest of it, I'd say it's seems just as frequent to me that a lot of Hillary supporters have been perpetually peeved that anyone has had the nerve to actually mount a serious challenge to what was supposed to be the foregone conclusion of the primary race, namely HRC's inevitable "turn".
I understand people support her, and that they have an assortment of reasons for doing so. I've figured from the beginning that she'd probably be the nominee. It's one of the reasons why I've been continually critical of the really lame campaign she's been running, because if we're gonna win in November she will need more than what she's been doing so far to motivate enough people to the polls.
