Personally I am not concerned about the positions of Bernie supporters. I have listened to Bernie for years. Most all of us agree with them. Some of us want someone else for President. That drives them wild because Hillary is in the way of their revolution or so they think.
So bash Hillary and prove her supporters are lower than dirt. It eases the pain.

Then maybe your thread title should reflect your true beliefs emulatorloo Oct 2015 #116
