He, like I, chose to register as an Independent. He, unlike I, made a political career out of being an Independent. He, like Trump, tried to hijack a political party. He, unlike Trump, failed. I'm OK with that.

Hillary sucks, but she sucks less than Trump. Your choice is fish or chicken, and the fish is spoiled. Shit or get off the pot.

I've repeatedly said I'll vote for herand that hasn't changed, but I'd appreciate it if you would respond to my post directly instead of repeating and rephrasing what you've been saying ad nauseam for months.

He wasn't a Democrat until the instant he chose to run for President. The Democratic Party is his vehicle, not his party.

How long had you been a registered Republican before you had the right to call yourself one? True, Bernie isn't a registered Democrat but he isn't a registered anything because Vermont doesn't have party registration. In Vermont, you are what you say you are. But Bernie is philosophically better aligned with Democratic principles than are many "real" Democrats, like Blanche Lincoln, Bill Nelson or Hillary Clinton.

Your strike zone is worse than when MLB use scab umpires.

Even a scab umpire can tell the difference between a curve ball, a fast ball, and someone throwing crap against the wall to see if it sticks.

Or so says a Trump supporter. No irony there.

The throwing crap at the wall comment is particularly ironic.
