Brock is true to his slimy word.

Discredit, disqualify, and demoralize.

And those that ignore this are just not paying attention either because it benefits them or they are in willful denial.

It'll be laughed at, called a conspiracy,ignored or right wing propaganda by some supporters of hers.


Personally, I think people like that are disgusting. Whatever, doesn't do her campaign any favors by lying like that.
People love being lied to apparently.

I didn't mean to imply that you were a paid troll by any means.
My thoughts were more along the lines of with a million bucks allegedly being spent on trolls, they could certainly gather enough of them to both plague Facebook and make phony phone calls.
Didn't mean to cast asparagus your way

People who make baseless claims against HRC never stop to think about what possible motive there could be for the apparent nominee to risk everything by having her phone-bankers lie, or by shutting down FB pages.

Yes, Bernie is already done - and has been since March 15th. But the bullshit "stories" live on nonetheless.

guy for "reasons"? Makes him a perfect match for Bernie, their goals and tactics are right on target, and neither one has colleagues that like him enough to endorse him. While the Dems are much more polite about Bernie, they both seem to have the same comments to make about both of the "most partisan Senators" on either side being less than likeable or effective.

Teddy and Bernie share so much more in common than Hillary, whose colleagues like her very much and who voters love, since she has the most of all of the candidates running.

Bernie is in second place, but not losing badly at all, he is also honest, people like him, he has morals, and he get's things done.

Cruz is a person that is full of himself, fake, corrupt, cheats, and most people hate...so very close to Hillary. Cruz is also relying on delegates to help him steal the election, the only thing is Hillary has been using them since the start. And while Bernie actually gets bills passed, Hillary just fails as much as Cruz...but that would mean Cruz taking a hit in favorability since he is doing better, but they both could talk about the speech she gave since she gave it to his wife's work.

Her feed has weird letters with the return addresses from various organizations that she's clearly not affiliated with. It seems that trolling is a thing that she's doing, and she's gotten you hooked with this lame attempt.
