Here is to them getting their money's worth.

Unless Hillary gives the stand down order to the cops they are going to drive the healthcare cost up.

So? You can say that about anyone that donates to a candidate that eventually loses.


IF you send money to Trump and he loses the election - (which he will) will you regret sending him money?

Apparently all sorts of people think they are buying something when they donate.

Seems kind of ironic to 'buy" a clearly defective political product, and then berate said product for not performing.

But then Trump is the guy who said that POWs are losers, so I guess it makes sense that his donors would feel the same way about him.

I have no remorse over my donations. I'm taking that money and re-allocating it to local elections and my union PAC.

Bernie did get a bird to land on his podium, that's a feat Hillary has yet to accomplish!

America sure was ready for FDR, who is to the left of Bernie. FDR got elected 4 times, most popular president ever! Thats what social democracy does!

Bernie "poked up the coals" of a whole bunch of people who are on fire now and are all dressed up and have no where to go but to Hillary. The DNC couldn't be so lucky as to have those voters energized and part of the process, its the cheapest money ever spent. Hilary will surely acquiesce to the spirit of the Bernie wing of the party and siphon off a healthy number of those supporters. You know what they say you are supposed to leave with who you came with. IMO most will vote Democrat, the rest were just there for the party atmosphere.

Bernie looks like a beaten man today.
Hence the meeting with Obummer-and its odd, because Obama stands for everything Bernie hates..elitism

The "rest" actually understood what Sanders stood for which is why they can't vote for Clinton.

Bernie and Hillary are more a like than Bernie and Trump. Hillary was defending the Black Panthers in court while Bernie was getting arrested marching for civil rights and against the war in Vietnam. Trump was suffering from heal spurs at the time.
