Best. Comment section. Ever. (re: clinton staffer telling Sanders to tone down or f*** off)
Enjoy the brief news item, but do stay for the comments! Priceless!

Note: I would post some examples, but my ipad hates my guts with a purple passion. Any suggestions for replacing it with something designed by a sane person/company would be greatly appreciated.

No one named who said it etc..
Yes..I believe everything I read on the internet 
- especially if it's not backed up.
IF someone did this - put it out there and prove it.

"hopes of Democratic voters unifying to support the party's nominee in the general election growing more remote."
Oh, please! Give me a fucking break! The Bernie supporters who were never going to vote in the first place because they are now bored with politics will stay home, and the vast majority of the rest will vote for Clinton. This stupid, unrealistic "threat" is used by the media for clickbait and to keep the horserace aspect of the election. Remember all the breathless media speculation about whether Obama could ever overcome the vast desertion of pro-Hillary voters and the dreaded "PUMAs"? It really is a shame, though, that Senator Obama didn't win his races for Prez in 2008 and 2012. Oh, wait...

Gee, to tell you the truth, after being called a "Democrat whore" by the Bernie campaign last week, I was actually hoping someone would tell Sanders to go fuck himself a few days ago.

The math has been pretty clear for a while that Hillary is going to win the nomination, yet Sanders and his people have fed the narrative that this manifest reality is false, and they have smeared Secretary Clinton in the process.
The question they have to ask themselves is do they want to risk a Trump presidency, and lose the gains of the Obama presidency?
Based on their reckless rhetoric, it seems that they do, just as some Nader supporters pretended that there was no difference between Gore and Bush, it's beyond obvious that there would a MASSIVE difference between Hillary and Drumpf.
That's kind of ironic because if Gore hadn't been robbed of the presidency, there would be no Iraq vote to hang on Hillary.

I wish I could have been on Bill Maher last week when Sarandon was on, just to remind her of a little quote she made during the 2008 election campaign:
“I think Jesus would be very supportive of John Edwards."
Yeah, I guess since Jesus hung around with whores and lepers, he could stomach John Edwards. For a while.
BTW, Susan, how IS that Edwards presidency working out for you? And do you think that Bernie Sanders has the same moral and ethical standards that your other heroes Ralph "There's no difference in the parties. There's no difference between Bush and Gore!" Nader and John "You'd be banging a chick on the side if your wife had cancer, too!" Edwards?

Mahalo, displacedtexan~ lol, I'm about the only one talking about the comments instead of your ipad.

Fuck, but all the other shit they, and Bernie people have called her is A-OK....I'm just going to be over here doing a big ole eye roll....
