179. IT IS deflection on YOUR part because you WON'T stand up and back YOUR claim

Oct 2014

that she WILL Fail....and you were full on DEFINITIVE about this bogus claim....you said she WILL....so do you support that belief or not?

I happen to be willing to bet that the candidate that already has nearly 2/3 of the Democratic vote is the likely winner.....

SOOOO are you willing to back up your rhetoric or not? Do you like your odds or not?

Oh and by the way....are you saying that 2/3rds of the Democrats are ALL Corporatists because like me they also support Hillary Clinton? 2 out of every 3 Democrats feel the same....

If you think the vast majority of the party are "corporatists" why are you even ON this forum?
