Are you a Hillary surrogate? Autumn Jul 2015 #12

I am not a surrogate of anybody, but your response is typical of some of DUers. Rude, arrogant, and still_one Jul 2015 #17

Questions don't conclude, answers do. nt Snotcicles Jul 2015 #20

I think surrogate is the new word of the day murielm99 Jul 2015 #80

Surrogates are paid through market management. The berns are volunteers based on DhhD Aug 2015 #192

That makes no sense. murielm99 Aug 2015 #195

Oh dear, my mistake. Obviously you aren't Wall Street or the Fox News Autumn Jul 2015 #124

I was responding to the subthread post #4, "Who are these fools?", and your response to me had still_one Aug 2015 #166

Apparently they don't care if they turn off Hillary supporters to the point where they don't want to stevenleser Jul 2015 #18

Why? We see the difference between Hillary and Bernie, and we choose Bernie. haikugal Jul 2015 #23

I guess you won't need us Hillary supporters to win the general then? leftofcool Jul 2015 #24

I never said that. haikugal Jul 2015 #25

I'm sure you'll jog my memory with a humble "I told you so!" haikugal Jul 2015 #53

Yes, and what you seem to think is right and will work is tear down Hillary. And it won't work. stevenleser Jul 2015 #57

I disagree...saying it the way I see it is honest. haikugal Jul 2015 #60

You and other Bernie supporters are not posting facts and history but posting a distorted view of stevenleser Jul 2015 #66

This will do nothing for Hillary... haikugal Jul 2015 #69

There is something wrong with Nadin's post there? I thought she supported Bernie? nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #71
