Clinton Fans in California Torch Sanders as Egotistical and Destructive

“Ego.” “Self-interest.” “Blinded by the spotlight.” “It's become all about him.” “Almost inciting violence.”
These are some of the words Hillary Clinton’s supporters at her rallies this week in California had for Bernie Sanders as he escalates his fight for a Democratic presidential nomination that is, mathematically, virtually out of reach for him.
The acrimony over the Vermont senator's defiance is reaching a fever pitch as Clinton, the all-but-certain nominee, tries to move on to the general election against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, only to be painted by her competitor as a puppet of Wall Street who wouldn’t fix America’s problems.
The raw emotions show the intensity of a fight that Sanders, 74, continued while barnstorming California ahead of a June 7 primary flush with 548 delegates, over half of the Democratic delegates still on offer.

I used to enjoy the angry villagers a lot more when they just picked up their torches and stormed Frankenstein's castle.

Too bad none of their observations could be applied to Clinton.



I look at her and think "Yes. YES we CAN!"

Oh...wait. That was Obama. I think something else when I look at her, and it's not "You've got my vote."

Would allow Brrnie to think he is entitled to pick Hillary's running mate.

I can't imagine a President driven by ego, blind self-ambition...that would be a nightmare.

Particularly nice are the emails they send to the superdelegates on a regular basis.
