I stood behind several of these morons in our primary election. Each one was a registered Republican, but asked for a Democratic ballot. Each one asked for assurance they could vote for Republican in the actual election.

Each one had to be told that there would be only one ballot come November, that it is only in the primaries that voters get ballots according to political party.

Sweet Jesus. What a bunch of idiots.
Trump supporters are not backing Bernie in some odd conspiracy theory. The DNC and establishment are trying to manipulate the election to favor Biden and then tell Bernie supporters that they are disloyal if they don’t go along with it. That’s the true manipulation here.

So your concern has everything to do with looking out for perceived manipulation by the DNC in somehow "forcing" voters to pull the level for Joe Biden and nothing to do with the fact that Trump's best chance of getting re-elected at this point is to try to induce Bernie supporters to stay home and sulk on Election Day.

You are the same poster who described Trump as a "captain . . . steadfast at the wheel, his golden hair battered by wind, salt and sea" (link) and asked us to revere "the greatness of our current president" (link), right? You don't think your agenda is a bit too transparent?

It's the elite's definition of "best people" that would be implemented.
Trump didn't bring in "outsiders"? lol, he hired foxes to guard the hen house. 281 lobbyists have worked in his administration.

The DNC and establishment are also not engaged in some odd conspiracy theory. Biden is simply getting more votes than Sanders.

Suburbanite Republicans are more than tired/exhausted of Trump in Michigan.

They came out and voted for a return to normalcy. They voted for Biden..

If that was true do you think that the likes of Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, Michael Bennett, Corey Booker and a number of other candidates would have sat back and allowed that to happen without saying anything? You know sometimes you really need to think about how little sense these conspiracy theories make before you ask people to believe you.

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill have been briefed on Russian assistance with Sander's campaign.

Sanders is blaming some of the "ugly stuff" on the internet as not coming from "real supporters."

It seems like Sanders, AOC (the Squad) and others leaning that far left will now begin to see how much of the country rejects their ideals. Last night should make them start to think about it a little harder. Time will tell.

I've watched several of his recent speeches and interviews and he has been fine. This meme that he is suffering from dementia is simply a right wing talking point designed to smear Biden. In other words, business as usual from the right. Their real problem is having to defend an absolute idiot while pretending the other guy is the one who is unfit.

I’m concerned about the Democratic process. I’m supportive of Trump but I do think Bernie is getting hosed.
