Worse, it will alienate and discourage all the young voters flocking to Bernie. The result could be a generation of disaffected citizens with no expectation that their vote makes a damn bit of difference.
The perception is Bernie is a guy who is promising the moon and will not be able to get any of his programs through a ultra-conservative Congress.

If people are dumb enough to elect Trump because they don't like Hillary then that is their own stupidity. Like TJ I will be fine if he wins...I am a veteran.

Retired Navy. The correct last name. Born in Ohio. He won't touch me. Unlike Joad I care though.

Wrong. If you gave a shit you would be supporting Bernie.

But you have it made in the shade with your retired military pension and Tri-care so you are going with the status quo candidate, Hillary.

Just like you own son.


If Bernie does win I will vote for him. You don't see me bashing him all the time.

Are you really trying to make the argument that there is very little difference between Hillary and Bernie?

If Shrillary had half her husband's charisma she's be a shoe-in. Alas all she has is his name.

Oh by the way no one is going to get rid of Tricare....does not matter who wins or what sort of single payer plan gets passed.
