are a small percentage who don't post often. I'm not riled up, I'm enjoying Bernie's rapid diminishment. I have met him in the real world and from my personal experience, he deserves what's coming to him.

I am not advocating that he stop running. He should stay in the race. It will help prove that every lie that he has told about the Democratic party and Hillary Clinton is just that, lies.

I have plenty to post about Trump but he is out of the press this week while he fundraises. Bernie is still a candidate in this race and still trashing the Democratic party. He is still running against Hillary Clinton, unless he and his surrogates are lying to the press.

In 3 more days I will take my opinion of Bernie Sanders to sites who recognize him for what he is. Until then, while 90% of this site is trashing my candidate, I feel comfortable expressing myself.

Jill Stein is a non-starter realmirage Jun 2016 #29

I agree on Stein. She just likes attention. She also got 0.35% of the vote in 2012. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #31

Agreed. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #21
