I had a lot of respect for him, but then I began doing some in-depth research on him and - wow. Although I can't say what I really want to say here for fear of being chased down with pitchforks and torches by his avid supporters, his votes in the past trouble me immensely, and the result of this is, I no longer like nor respect him, and should he, by some miracle, win the Democratic primary, I'm going to have hold my nose tightly when I mark my ballot for him.

But let's just say that he's got a LOT in common with TeaBaggers. A LOT.

No wonder he's beginning to court their votes.

Some people don't. Some people wouldn't put it past anybody to do anything. Some people like to give the benefit of the doubt. Some people feel someone is innocent until proven guilty. Some people believe where there is smoke there is fire.


Some people.

And I disagree with any Clinton supporter who says that the Sanders campaign is claiming that there was a plant. Both sides have many supporters who are going way beyond the facts on this one.

getting picked up by (increasingly desperate) quarters here. Or Hillary supporters liked the plant meme or shit, I honestly don't know what these people are babbling about.

Because when you look around here it is clear as day who thought "the data guy was a DNC plant" angle was somehow advantageous for their candidate. And not for one second was it EVER Hillary supporters. But I guess we're now not supposed to trust our lying eyes. Or... something.

like this. Said DWS should "fire" Bernie, which had me scratching my head. It was around 11:00 A.M. today. Not good at linking DU posts, but I know I left a comment.

I wanted to know HOW you fire a candidate. I got no answer.
