Yet, you are singling me out.

Why don't you go back and read what you wrote in this very thread about TJ and get back to me, John.

That was Tricky Dick.

When there is no substance one resorts to BS and our man from OC is brimming with it. From conversations with my friends who plan to vote for Hillary, nary a one really likes Hillary. For that matter most think she is as crooked as they come. It's an anti-Trump vote but Hillarybots see this as a groundswell of support for one of the worst candidates for President.

Don't be a hypocrite John. You're better than that.

"I have my issues with Joad and have called him on his bullshit more than once and I'll continue to do so. But it is not my job to defend you against him. That's your job."

Your words my man.

I spend a little time on Bernie's social media pages (facebook) and almost nobody there is saying they will vote for Hillary.

Now that may not be a representative sample of people who voted for him but that's what I'm seeing.

Worse, with either we lose respect. I did not vote for Obama but his election gave hope to those around the world marginalized because of race or religion - America, with her hard history, can elect a black president - what a country!

One look at either of these two reprobates and the reaction has to be WTF?!

I think that outside of this country, Hillary is not seen as a reprobate, though Trump certainly is.

The EPA and OSHA Acts were signed by Nixon.

Perhaps a different age group in social media, my circle is older retired or soon to crowd. Most (probably all ) of my family are for Hillary which really sucks so I leave that topic alone. They all sound like our barbara and can only talk about how bad Trump is or will be. It's a perfect cover come to think of it and annoys the heck out of me so I resort to timely wisecracks.
