I agree that these "hardcore" Bernie Sanders supporters may as well be trump supporters. The same for the people that would try to thwart impeachment of trump if Democrats take back the House. "oh no we would get Pence" they are essentially trump supporters.

and many/most of his positions. But his supporters were not all what they seemed & appeared to have been badly infiltrated by those who wished to glom on to him as cover for some pretty unsavory propaganda campaigns. That they still seem to be doing so is distressing to me, as it SHOULD be for those sincere Bernie Sanders supporters.

truth about Sanders. None of them denigrate him as he does to Democrats. They are just telling the truth.

This is how you know his attacks on Democrats are destructive and they know it and embrace it. You know it by how they all attack the messenger. If only they could abide the same treatment they dish out.

People are realy on to them now.

I find the explanation implausible, but it's not impossible. Her evidence needs to be brought forward. What works against her is that she's said these sort of things before. But I don't think any of these new allegations are from a newer time.

If so, I don't see how it would change that she has evolved her position.
