Alert the MEDIA!!

Wouldn't we all like to look like we did, way back when, oh those many years ago!

Gee, if they're so close (that IS what you're trying to imply with this ancient picture, yes?) why is Trump supporting Sanders? Why wouldn't he be saying nice things about his "good friends" there?

Is it because Sanders' staff (and perhaps The Great Man, Himself) embodies many of the personality traits of The Trump-eter? Loud, brash, bullying, wiling to take what they want, even if it doesn't belong to them? Inquiring minds want to know....

i got a HUGE laugh out of this from thr RNC of all places:

WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chief Strategist & Communications Director Sean Spicer released the following statement in response to the DNC denying data to the Sanders campaign in order to bolster Hillary Clinton:

“Every candidate has equal access to our superior data file at the RNC because we believe primaries should be a process free from party interference and that puts voters and campaigns first. That’s why it is so troubling to see the DNC engage in such heavy-handed favoritism benefitting Hillary Clinton, a pattern which will continue tomorrow night with another debate deliberately scheduled to limit viewership.”

Then with this DWS crap ... Americans can be very resourceful. Maybe not in my lifetime, but the times, they are a'changin'. The founders were riding horse and buggies, using outhouses, and had slaves. They did the best they could with the information and experience they had at that time.

Data breach revives accusations of Dems helping Clinton, ahead of Saturday night
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/12/19/data-breach-revives-accusations-dems-helping-clinton-ahead-saturday-night-debate.html

...gotta love how only Clinton's name is included in the header, as if party politics was more consequential than cheating; or, as if accusations of a set-up were more evident than the actual transgression by the Sanders campaign sitting in front of us.

This is a good portrait of anti-Hillary politics at work; something which has been blurred across party lines from opponents on the right and left.
