Now I really want Bernie to take this to the Convention. No party unity after this last trick. [View all]

The complicity starting before the 1st Primary vote was cast, having the Super Delegates signed up to Hillary Clinton, media blackout of Bernie Sanders, total DNC backing of Hillary Clinton, debates scheduled during time slots to get the least amount of viewership and all of the shenanigans during the Primaries.......Now this.

Not even touching on all of the crap that Hillary Clinton would bring raining down on this country with the issues hanging over her head.

This is the last straw.......no toothpick. No way Hillary Clinton.
