Sorry, it won't let me copy any of the text. I suppose it's because I don't have a subscription.

1. CEO's of the World Unite!! Invest in a product that will give you a healthey return!!

3. The people have voted

and overwhelmingly rejected your guy, despite the fact he has massively outspent Clinton in advertising. Democracy. Deal with it.

6. I am dealing with it. My vote is not for sale.

You left out the "some" regarding "the people".

[BainsBane]

8. Approximately half the people

Half the earned delegates.

I don't see anyone offering to buy your vote.

10. I'm happy I'm saving them the trouble.

As I said, you left out the "some". Half? Does that include the people who voted for Bernie? Voted for a Republican? Or is it half of the people who voted in Democratic primaries. There's that damned math thingy again.

11. I said voted

I didn't break down their votes. There are plenty of places you can find those numbers yourself. She has about 2.5 million votes more than him, far from a small difference.

12. OK.

She still won't get my vote.

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost. John Quincy Adams

4. I just heard that on MSNBC about 4:15 pm est.

But big time donors should already know to concentrate their resources on Hillary's campaign.

7. Just fires me up more for Bernie. This meeting typifies all that's wrong in politics

so actually it provides more incentive for those of us who actually care to get big money out of politics.

Well done Mr President!

[BainsBane]

9. Yeah, not so much.

13. That's fine, those weren't the donors Bernie relies on anyway.
