(25,699 posts)It looks like you're inventing some shit, trying to put it in Sanders' supporters mouths, and then trying to knock it down.
Maybe stick with things that are actually being said?

(39,961 posts)is the chest-thumping "I'll NEVER vote for Hillary" brigade (your words)?
It troubles me when we have a match that has gotten this close for the Democratic party, and again, there is this flinging of aspersions at your natural allies, fellow Democrats.
What do you gain from this? Or are you just that angry that Hillary might not be a shoo-in?
She deserves the testing that every other Presidential candidate gets, and if she fails, do not gripe when a fellow Democrat can pick up the banner and run with it.

The funny thing is though... sometimes she's right.
And another funny thing is... how folks like you act like the "fix" isn't in for Clinton.
I have never seen a candidate so coddled, spoonfed, and supported by the powers that be as I have when it comes to Hillary Clinton this time around.
Maybe there's something to our concerns ya' know.

(39,961 posts)A conversation is what you have when you may agree or disagree with someone. "Would you like to try this wine?" "Would you like to try this dessert?"
It is not "You are a complete idiot for not liking the selection of wine I offered and you chose what someone else politely offered!!!"

(45,319 posts)least accurate material I have ever seen foisted by anyone about anything. Today you are here pretending someone said not to listen to Halperin? Who said that? Voices in your head? Mouse in your pocket?
You argue with yourself, you characterize the air and take issue with it.

(24,411 posts)and Mark Halperin is one of them.
I do value this A-. I think his grades are spot on. Although I don't agree politically with much of what Clinton said, I do agree that she had a strong performance and that she had some great moments.
Love me some Mark Halperin. Been a fan of "With All Due Respect" on Bloomberg for a long time.

(22,308 posts)She had a couple moments late but she had some bad moments late too.
I think she failed miserably tonight.

(3,660 posts)The Michigan win and tonight's performances should be game-changers and mark a real turn. It's being hindered but not held back by the likes of CNN, MSNBC, Chris Mathews, the Daily Beast and other media outlets.
