Although I agree with you, both Trump and Sanders knew the rules when they decided to run. (at least I know Sanders did! not too sure about what Trump knows) A primary is to nominate the party's candidate and it's up to the party to decide, whether or not you & I agree with those rules.

Bernie Sanders has spent his entire career criticizing the very people he wants to support him should the nomination be close. He also hasn't spent any time at all supporting Democrats running for Congress or in local elections.

I might have to stay away from the news for a while to stay sane. Bernie will mostly likely win in Wyoming and then we'll need to wait 10 very long days and nights until the New York primary.

It should help. He is saying the things the entire world already knows.

Maybe you should brush up on the constitution, then...

Please. They have medical terms for that...senility comes to mind.


Hillary went through 11 hours of absolute grilling by the opposition party, with nary a stutter...

Very true about knowing(should know) the rules. Of course in the world of politics, rules and things are meant to bend/mold towards one's benefit and that's the honest truth. All I would say is this....if it's up to the party ultimately, and it is, stop the nonsense of baiting people to vote in the states that have people voting in primaries. It's all a false front and shows to me more of the window dressing/dishonesty of it all really. If the people's voices might/might not be heard, really, they should stop the game/false fronts. I'm a straight talker and at least put a big sign that says "people, your vote may mean nothing or something" at every primary voting station or on the mail in ballot. Many people honestly aren't aware of this. And it will be a ugly wake up call for the parties, especially this cycle, when people learn this fact and turn away from the party(s) for good if a candidate the majority of people voted for loses. To me it couldn't happen soon enough.

Good idea to stay away from the news I think in general. I spoon feed myself on the web and that's it. To me it has all become agenda driven/opinions and objective news reporting is long, long gone, if it really ever existed. It's really sad what it all has become.

You make an excellent point. I don't think Bernie Sanders is senile, but Hillary Clinton is much more educated and sharp as a tack.

This wasn't a predictable response. Can you point me to the part of the constitution that grants one the right to be president?

Would you be okay if your child's day care center hired a nanny under investigation by the FBI for child sexual abuse? I mean, presumption of innocence, right?
