1. Then why the fuck are you doing it?!?

[Punkingal]

2. Good question.

[Trenzalore]

12. Because when you are in a war

You don't unilaterally disarm when the other party is acquiring weapons.

I wish Bernie's fundraising model worked for all democratic candidates. It doesn't and there are 435 congressional elections and 33 Senate races in 2016.

15. It is everything wrong with the system. We all made excuses for Obama getting

Money from corps and banks, then towing the line for them in policy. She has sky high unfavorables, 67% thinks she lies, indies will never vote for her. It's a disaster and the money she's raising from the insane wealth is a big reason why. People are DONE with this.

[Trenzalore]

16. She was actually pretty popular

Till Bernie called her a corporate whore for 5 months when Bernie knows he has no way to combat a republican party nationally outside the system.

[onecaliberal]

17. That's such a crock! The republicans HATE her. Bernie is the only 1 to win against all cons.

14. Actors tend to be kind of dim

3. George quit pandering, if you agree do something about it instead of handing over 15 mil

Surprisingly he said that word for word and sounded genuine... The next question is why did he do it then?

[uponit7771]

5. So do I agree with Sanders too I just don't think Sanders is the person who's going to stop it

... other than being angry a lot.

Clinton has a better chance

[Bread and Circus]

9. If you think Hillary will stop you are insane.

[uponit7771]

11. She has a better chance than Sanders, Sanders has anger... that's about it... no direction...

... no specifics, no details

[Bread and Circus]

18. You are a fool if you believe that. Hillary doesn't want to stop it. Why would she? She benefits.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

6. George, give the money to Bernie. Then we can talk. n/t

[Bread and Circus]

7. LoL "obscene" is the exact word I used this am in a thread title

Regarding what happened.

[bjo59]

8. Well, George Clooney never struck me as the sharpest knife in the drawer, well meaning

but not that sharp. I bet about now he kind of wishes he'd thrown his celebrity clout behind Bernie but he went team Hillary really early and there he is. Oh well. (Or he just knows which Wall Street investment side his bread is buttered on but he doesn't like looking like a rich "me first" type so he's trying out spreading a little butter on the other side too?)

10. What a whore.

[99Forever]

13. Money whores, one and all.

Dirtiest pack of hypocritical, lying scum on the planet.
