Judging from the smear campaign from the recent Nevada convention, I'd say Hillarybots are behind it - or tagging Bernie with it.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11890229869783893118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245381193993153721.post-35964613468250260532016-03-19T21:45:11.531-07:002016-03-19T21:45:11.531-07:00I learned a new word today, for what LK calls the ...I learned a new word today, for what LK calls the regressive left.

It should be easy. "Even Donald Trump's vicious rhetoric does not justify shutting down a rally or intimidating his supporters. I condemn such behaviour." Couldn't do it. <br /><br />Care to admit you had him wrong, and he's worse than Trump.

Outside of getting elected in Vermont, he doesn't seem to have ever accomplished anything. Nor has he accomplished anything inside the Senate.<br /><br />He doesn't seem like he really wants to win, so he goes easy on Hillary. He will endorse Hillary once he officially loses.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
