So what percentage of Bernie's voters also voted for Rebecca Bradley?

Bradley defeated state Appeals Court Judge JoAnne Kloppenburg, who was backed by liberals. She will now have a full 10-year term on the state Supreme Court and be part of the conservative majority on the seven-member court.

Are you saying all those Independents are leaning Democratic Socialists or straight up lean Democrat?

Plus he gets anti-Hillary GOP.

It's a serious question, given Ohio.

Wasserman Schultz caught heat from medical marijuana advocates in an ad released last week targeting her for voting against recent legislation in the House to block the Drug Enforcement Administration from cracking down on state-legal medical marijuana shops and patients. The measure passed with bipartisan support.

The irony of even the possibility that Wasserman Schultz’s position on medical marijuana aligns with Adelson’s was not lost on Marijuana Majority’s Tom Angell.

“That the congresswoman would stand on the side of an ultraconservative billionaire in opposition to the will of the people and mountains of evidence demonstrating marijuana’s medical benefits raises serious questions about her fitness to lead a party that so often emphasizes its commitment to healthcare, civil rights and science,” Angell said to HuffPost.
