At this same point in 2008 .....

Hillary was down in delegate count. As I recall the Obama supporters in what is now "BU" were calling on her to get out of the race or "Get out of the way" as I recall being told. She was not down in the count as much Bernie is now. But still she aka "that evil woman" was told to step aside.

I have not heard or read ANYONE from the Clinton camp saying that Bernie should drop out. Which I hope he doesn't.

Hillary took it to the end and when it came to a close she endorsed Obama worked to elect him.

Other than this PUMA bullshit in 2008, which was total crap. I don't recall some of this #hillaryorbust type shit that we see HERE in 2016. What the hell is that? You want Trump to win?

Grow up. That goes for both sides. If Bernie get the nomination, there is no way in hell I'm going to let that dead wombat on his head, nazi pig get elected.

Done. Mic drop.

Out.

That said, some of her supporters really need to come down off the damn cross already.

Medium rare is the ONLY way to enjoy a steak. Well done is synonymous with burn (of which I do not feel).

Everybody (including the waiter) gives me the evil eye when I order. I have to tell them to give it a butterfly cut to appease them. And burnt is the only other way I can stand it.

I'm not asking Bernie to drop out. I am asking Bernie supporters . . .

. . . to stop supporting his Presidential campaign.

Every calorie of effort spent on those posts is a calorie not spent defending the Democratic nominee.

Every dollar spent on Bernie's campaign is a dollar not spent on the Democratic nominee.


Same shit if you ask me. She is not the nominee.

You said nobody was asking Bernie to step aside. That post asked all his supporters to drop our support of him and unquestioningly follow and support her. Same thing in my book.

As a Hillary supporter at that time I was offended by the efforts of the DNC under Dean finagling delegates and the Kennedy machine attempting to push Hillary out. Now I am offended by the similarities in how Bernie is being treated. I guess when you are not with the establishment you see the oppression of people and their ideas as crude and uncalled for. That behavior is Trumpish, which is ironic with all the speculation about the GOP establishment pushing him out.
