A once brilliant man has become a cartoon character. His support is doing Bernie no favors, including with many activist African Americans.

Eventually West is going to say some shit that goes way over the top and it is going to blow back in Bernie. Among other things Brother Cornell is patently sexist.

This is such a dumb insult anyway. Weak.

He is a joker

What is your basis for this?

A once brilliant man has become a cartoon character.

And the basis for this assertion is...?

His support is doing Bernie no favors, including with many activist African Americans.

And you have dispensation - in writing - to speak on their behalf, of course?

Eventually West is going to say some shit that goes way over the top and it is going to blow back in Bernie.

You draw this from his comparign her to a pop duo from the late 80's?

Among other things Brother Cornell is patently sexist.

Because we know how sexist it is to compare Hillary clinton to two dudes who didn't perform their own music. I guess.

This is such a dumb insult anyway. Weak.

Donald know you're stealing his rhetorical devices?

Cornel West remains a brilliant and wonderful as ever. I used to so enjoy watching he and JK Galbreath take apart William F Buckley on "Firing Line".

who's on the Clinton bandwagon and are part of the gravy train... ".

We've got the same thing only white too. And that gravy train is what needs to go. I don't see that happening by electing the head bandwagoneer.
