It is getting really old. Bernie and his people are trying to give this to Trump.

I served on a jury yesterday for a post that was alerted because someone called Bernie a clown! Amazingly, it survived and was not hidden.

Thin skinned bunch. Compare a "clown" comment to the crap that has been said about Hillary and NOT hidden.

Both they and their candidate have been non-stop Hillary and Dem-bashing ever since.

10. Sanders' campaign has always been about implying Hillary's a liar.

His Primary campaign motto is "A future to believe in." The obvious implication is you can't "believe in" Hillary.

9. Seems like all of them and they apparently, make up an extremely large majority of DU.

I am guessing about 80% of DU despises the presumptive Democratic candidate for President.

I figure to write the place off as a total loss indefinitely. Too bad because I like this little Hillary Group and the format as well.

11. This is one reason I always laugh when they accuse me and others of being "paid shills"

No smart organization would ever pay someone to try and sway people in a place where the vast majority of opinions are not only set in stone, but are violently and often irrationally defended. It would be a total waste of resources.

Money would be far better spent in softer areas of the web, like Facebook or other social media, which has a much bigger potential audience and more persuadable people tend to be.

12. Yes, and that million dollars has gone a long, long, long, long, long way.

Listening to Sanders supporters, one would think that she's run her entire campaign on that million bucks to David Brock.
