National Nurses United Superpac question

Just got a ad for Bernie on my twitter feed from them so I googled them, I find it funny how he says he has no Superpacs when they obviously work together maybe even a little too close but why hasn't any of the media called him on it?

1. Because they are/represent $50,000/yr nurses; rather than, evil bankers? ...

At least, that's the justification I read on DU.

And a when you've said 10,000x10,000 times "WE DON HAVE ANY SUPERPAC" and you actually do have a superpac?

4. Their director just called Hillary "one of the most aggressive females I’ve ever watched"

But another key Sanders supporter insisted that Sanders should campaign unrelentingly — and she did so in language sure to inflame the Clinton forces. Speaking of the New York loss, RoseAnn DeMoro, executive director of National Nurses United, a union that was an early Sanders endorser, said it “makes us far more determined because the election was essentially stolen.”

Her argument, seconded by Sanders in Scranton on Thursday, was that independents should have been allowed to vote in the New York primary, even though they are not Democratic Party members.

“If the independents were able to vote in New York, Bernie would have won,” she said. “Anywhere where the vote was fair, Bernie won. We are not going to be deterred by a stolen, corrupted system.”

She characterized Sanders as treating Clinton with “kid gloves” and said “she is great at being the victim. She is one of the most aggressive females I’ve ever watched, and she has a tendency to pose as a victim.”

Project your own flaws on others much? First she's sure they only lose because the system's rigged (victim of system!) Then flat out goes tear-'em-up "one of the most aggressive females I’ve ever watched". Projection.

Which explains why Hillary won 73-28 in the open South Carolina primary.

Fortunately, the ANA, my parent Union and a powerful force for nurses AND unions, endorsed Hillary.

Rallies, and useless mailers getting him NOWHERE.. he's actually going in the HOLE.

omg.. a rational BS supporter..

“It is over,” Lee Stonum, an avid Sanders supporter and public defender in Orange County, California, wrote on his Facebook page after the New York results were tallied. “I’m a little annoyed by the tone of the emails I’m now getting from the campaign that refuse to acknowledge this and claim there is still a path to the nomination. There is not.”

There's a pic @ the link of little George on a rocking horse and I just found out the Obamas gave that to him.. it came from a tree that had grown on the White House lawn @ one point in history.
