(17,377 posts)Your continued manipulations and browbeating are just more example of the divisiveness that seems to foment from that side on a nonstop basis. No candidate is perfect. No campaign is perfect. That's not what I was talking about. I was talking about a divisive and prolonged primary that gave a con man like Trump the ability to continue the divisiveness to his advantage.
You can tell how Donald totally played the Bernie supporters and how he conned them. Look what he has done. He has completely humiliated Bernie's supporters by doing the exact opposite of everything Bernie campaigned on. He has appointed nothing but Wall Street billionaires, one of them being the largest benefactor from the mortgage crises. He only needed enough Berners to put him over the top, and judging from the Bernie or Bust and Bern it Down aggravators, they were more than happy to vote against the Democrat . The rest of Donald's agenda seems to be specifically to give the middle finger to Bernie. That just shows how much Bernie's rhetoric was empty and manipulative. A con man picked it up and shaped it to his own benefit. He stole Bernie's playbook and is now shoving it back in your face. He used Bernie's own words and Bernie's own divisive rhetoric and smears against Hillary and Democrats.
