What you, and a couple others, refuse to understand is that if Bernie had won the primary, I would gladly support him too.

I was ok with either one of them.

But I can't deny my dislike of Trump.

They have a hard time acknowledging that Barbara.

My pint Barbara is that 'Hillary better than Trump' is a very weak selling point, whereas Bernie in both ideals and character is (was) far superior candidate than either of them. So I call that a cop out knowing fully well that I am not outnumbered. But let's not pretend that Hillary rose out of the ashes of the Democratic Party and is going to save the nation. She has only one interest and it's in her mirror.

So when are they nominating Bernie for sainthood Raj? I fear there were a few questionable votes on his record.

The primary process was rigged. That's no conspiracy theory, nor is it sour grapes. It is a fact, obvious as day and night to those of us who ardently supported Bernie, notwithstanding the denials of the Hillary people.

And for those of us that supported Bernie, there is no way to be anything other than outraged. Even if Hillary and the DNC were to give some modicum of deference to his policy positions in their platform, which judging from their recent actions, they have no intention of doing, I do not see any possible path to reconciliation.

Yeah, I'd say that's a fair estimate.

Oh come on now, that's over the top.

I'd say more like 80%.

Comparison is quite apt MOC, they could be diabolical twins.

You need to develop your own rabble rousing smilie TJ, some here are taking you too seriously at times.
