What I hope he would not do is rely on an internet poll to make his decision re endorsement tularetom Mar 2016 #19

You're right, my bad. I should have added "Bernie.... please ignore this unscientific poll" Nye Bevan Mar 2016 #21

Silly poll, as there's no question as to whether or not Sanders will endorse Clinton Tarc Mar 2016 #47

Mmm.... I dunno, Bubbie. Smarmie Doofus Mar 2016 #54

Why do people assume that Trump's SCOTUS picks will be worse than Clinton's? Smarmie Doofus Mar 2016 #52

He ALREADY Said He Would! Why Is This Question Being Asked?? n/t ChiciB1 Mar 2016 #85
