Bernie "We need to invest in our children and lift people out of poverty so they won't be forced to turn to crime."

Hillary "Lock the 'superpredators' up and throw away the key."

Jesus wept.

I wish Hillary supporters could just say something like... yeah I know, but she has our back now and people we trust are with her... She will give high profile/powerfull positions to leaders I admire.

Anything but a defense of what would be indefensible from someone they don't support
