In reply to the discussion: Breaking: Beto raises $6.1 million [View all]lancelyons
(988 posts)53. It is a dig and i suspect because it happens the other way around as well.
There are enough Bernie Sanders fans that dig on all the other candidates... probably deliberately pushing their agenda.
All is ok as LONG AS IN THE END... we all vote for the DEMOCRAT that WON the nomination. PERIOD.
If we have Sanders supporters or Beto supporters that start attacking the other side...then not voting.. thats a problem.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Nope, you're wrong... Bernie released more than "a summary page"... it was SEVEN pages in total.

Releasing a tax return from a year prior to the one he said he'd release is wanting too much?
