I thought in the first 4 minutes he was well dosed with valium or xanax or atavan....but it wore off QUICK TIME.

As soon as this damn thing started I turned to me husband and said, “Was he snorting lines before going out there?”

I thought it too! Immediately.

Cotton mouth + pursed lips did it for me (my other theory: like 500 mg of adderall? Technically legal but basically the same)

You weren’t. The first thing I thought was, “What the fuck is he on?”

OMFG I wanna tongue kiss Howard Dean. I thought I was the only one with the cocaine theory.

I have NO PROBLEM with Sanders pointing out or even attacking Hillary over actual FACTS, but he’s consistently slandered her with no proof, called her corrupt & accused her of cheating. Remember in the debate, when asked to name a SINGLE example of HRC supposed “corruption” he couldn’t do it.

And if you think HRC “can’t handle” Bernie, you are sorely mistaken.

I’d imagine so, since she appears to have handled it just fine and is marching towards a nomination.

I generally like Biden, but I am aware of his missteps with women’s issues. It also annoys me to no end that people who hate Hillary for voting for the Iraq War and supporting the 1994 crime bill would probably love to vote for a man who also voted for the war and WROTE the crime bill.

Telling his voters that superdelegates are corrupt, the DNC is corrupt, closed primaries are corrupt, etc. are not “policy disputes.” I think it’s fine for Bernie to not officially drop out until the convention; I do not think it’s fine for him to continue attacking the party while doing so.

I have been watching, since 2008, which was my first time voting as an 18yo. Obviously the Democratic party leadership preferred her to Sanders (I don’t blame them, since he spent the entire campaign convincing his supporters they are corrupt), but the leadership didn’t crown her. In fact, the media dragged this…

“The popular vote is meaningles” I’m sure you’d be saying the EXACT same thing if Bernie was winning the popular vote right now.

If Bernie actually ran as an independent in this election, he would have been mercilessly raked over the coals for drawing support from Hillary and threatening the Democrats’ chances of keeping the White House. Running within the party was a pragmatic choice for him, obviously, but let’s not pretend that the…

The point is that Sanders is a monumental hypocrite to bitch about how evil and corrupt the party is all while trying to exploit their infrastructure, money base, and voting bloc for his own gain. If the Democrats are so horrible, he should’ve remained an independent and run for POTUS as one. That he became a Democrat…

Exactly. She did that because she’s a real actual Democrat. Bernie exploited the party and it’s infrastructure to try to get the nomination (all while stabbing it in the back at the same time) and then pitched a hissyfit when his plan didn’t work. If he’s such a loud and proud independent, he should’ve run for…

And how she stopped attacking Obama once she didn’t have a shot at the nomination, and didn’t spend the whole campaign complaining that the process is corrupt which convinced her voters not to vote D in the fall.

“Plus, it would be super duper hypocritical of Clinton to say anything about Sanders staying in as long as he has given what happened in 2008"

The DNC did not “crown” Hillary Clinton its nominee. The voters did, since she won the most votes, the most delegates, and the most contests.

Which is why I said I know it’s a bad idea. But deep down inside of me, I do feel that someone who exploited the party in order to further his own career, and someone who attacked the party over and over enough that his supporters no longer trust it, should not be rewarded by the party with a easy win once again.

Ummm...he’s a Senator so he’ll be returning to the Senate. But it’s nice that you’re paying attention.
