not sure if she's happy that Trump is up, but she's no Hillary fan, for sure.

Actually, Nina came to the Bernie train rather recently.

In 2008, she and the late Stephanie Jones-Tubbs were BIG Hillary Clinton supporters.

against Obama. It seems Nina's political tastes are always counter to those of her FORMER constituents. She's bitter about something.

It is very telling. I am discussing on another thread about how we've seen that degree of sexism indicates degree of Trump support even on the Left, as seen in those posting on JPR. Even women can have internalized misogyny, and the lure of being the "exceptional" woman is strong - it can seem to offer a measure of safety in a patriarchal world. Or you can just be a raging @sshole. I cannot say which is the case with Nina Turner, but I can safely say that she should no longer be considered a Democrat, and any alerts on negative posts against her as bashing Democratic figures should be laughed out of court by the juries on DU.

She once said she was not a democrat. Democrats are party loyal so it's safe to say she is not.

She said that both candidates are running very negative campaigns and are not discussing the issues and the voters deserve better.

She is not just a disgusting person, she is a BIG FAT LIAR.
