45. It's interesting your reasoning for supporting Bernie instead of Hillary

Tue Jun 30, 2015, 01:58 AM

Jun 2015

your reason being that you support his position on having different supporters.

of course, if he's going to win the nomination, you realize that the supporters you don't like are going to have to become his supporters.

like many things here, you have not thought this one through.

And what did we do? hrmjustin Jun 2015 #16

Not sure, but if he doesn't blame the supporters for his decision CreekDog Jun 2015 #20

My guess AgingAmerican Jun 2015 #75

I did not smear him. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #76

And I answered it AgingAmerican Jun 2015 #77

Fair enough and it interesting that it is not only HRC ssupporters who are challenging him. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #78

True AgingAmerican Jun 2015 #79

We disagree and we can just leave it at that. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #80

Boom. Kingofalldems Jun 2015 #30

You DO realize that several Hillary Clinton supporters have done the same thing davidpdx Jun 2015 #37

Done what? Been against the minimum wage? Kingofalldems Jun 2015 #64

can you name one supporter that is against federal funding for Amtrak? CreekDog Jun 2015 #83

Well if you are a Bernie support it is. Agschmid Jun 2015 #54

I am BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #81

Yes it is silly, and a waste of time. Agschmid Jun 2015 #88

Not buying it, maybe Jim Webb with your posting history, not Bernie though nt geek tragedy Jun 2015 #68

Based on posting history I'll go with Walker. Kingofalldems Jun 2015 #73
