It's the old "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice........."

They do not want another president that will see after every need of Wall Street over main street. That never saw a war they didn't want to get involved in.
That's odd. He was re-elected in 2012 by 62.6 million votes. Where did they come from..Republicans?

Oh please

Some of Hillary supporters are sounding like those hypocritical Trumpettes we all despise so much.

Don't come here claiming you ever liked Bernie Sanders or that you know how Bernie supporters think. You have been bashing him since the beginning so save us the fake "Sanders lost his way" nonsense. You just don't like that he is not kissing Hillary's butt.

I never liked Hillary and I have no expectations so I am not gonna come here and claim I changed my mind about her. I might change my vote but I still don't like her. The only reason I might vote for her is because she is not Trump. I might skip this stupid election and let this country go down the toilet. I'm seriously considering skipping this election even if that means that the Trumpettes will get their wishes.

This country is full of fools. Anyone who fanatically supports an establishment candidate like Hillary or Trump deserve what they get and they should their heads checked. I really hope all these passionate Trump and Hillary supporters are just a bunch of paid trolls. Only because I don't wanna to lose my faith in humanity.

"...when you see progressive white men—many of whom enthusiastically supported Barack Obama’s candidacy—hate Clinton with every fiber of their being despite the fact that she’s a carbon copy of Obama’s ideology (or in fact now running slightly to his left), it’s hard to find any other explanation than sexism. Either way, the brutish, boorish behavior of Bernie Bros (and their female compatriots, too) was a huge reason I was reluctant to seemingly side with them in endorsing Sanders—and has been the only reason I have ever questioned my decision to do so since."

A lot of people are disgusted with the rude way his supporters have behaved. This reminds me of when lifelong Republicans were called RINOs by the Tea Party because they didn't support some of their extreme ideas or behavior.
I never supported Obama, but that doesnt fit her stereotype and broadbrushing. And those that did have been disappointed by the big difference between the campaigner Obama and what he turned out to be. Its a disgusting smear piece from start to finish. She is nothing but doing her bidding for her employer. Dont try to tell me that the corporation that has been rooting for Hillary from day 1 and donated millions dont feel threatened by Bernie not falling in line. Hillary will reward the special interests once in office, Bernie will not, and that is the problem.

The same reason Bush won in 2004.

Exactly.

But let them do it. The more they attack Sanders, the less votes they will get. They don't have the moral integrity to attack Bernie Sanders. I can tell you I am NOT enjoying their attacks and I am sure I am not the only one. Oh and I am a non-millennial woman and a minority so they can go to hell with their feminist and minority BS.

Anybody that claims they supported Sanders until now were doing it for all the wrong reasons.

Hint: It was never about the "free" stuff.

Maybe someone should just realize that, when someone says Bernie is losing, she's telling the truth. She also did not call his supporters "angry white men." Talk about misquoting someone!
I'm not a liberal and have never claimed to be one.

Walsh says this and she is referring to the Orange Man:



Huh... puzzling.
Yes, the helpfully highlighted in red part. Is English your second language?

Not true, but I'm done arguing about this. I feel as if I'm being drowned out by protesters who don't want to listen to anything but "Bernie is winning!"
