    But the more important question is, is that going to happen again? Are the people whose primary candidate doesn't win going to whine and pout? Are they going to claim that the nominee is 'just as bad as Trump'? Or are they going to help vote Trump out of office?

    Calling Senator Warren Pocahontas is a grade school name calling game and beneath you. I hold you in higher regard than that.

    We all need to get a grip and be able to laugh at ourselves.

    Are you sure they were whining and pouting or was it the Hillary fans who did most of that and are doing it now? Bernie fans who didn't vote for Bernie might have just voted for the candidate that they thought was the best at that time.

    Personally I think Hillary would have been better than Trump but every time she opens her mouth she has been closing that gap.

    Maybe we made the right decision in 2016, maybe we needed some short term pain for long term gain? Maybe Trump is actually better than Clinton? I don't think so but I'm not right about everything.

    With 330 million people in this country, you have to figure that at least 50-60% would meet the constitutional requirements to run for president. So, out of 150-200 million you would have to think that there'd be at least a couple of choices better than Trump or Clinton? Where the heck are they, because I sure don't see much in this year's crop so far that excites me.

    Yeah, they might have. But they were wrong then, and they presumably have more data now, so maybe they can make a better decision this time.

    And of course a lot of them didn't vote at all.

    Yeah, that's nuts. It's like hitting your balls with a hammer because you want to teach yourself not to do it.

    Sure does seem like now that Bernie is gaining some steam, the DNC attack dogs are on high alert. Many Democrats are now saying that Sanders and his supporters are as bad as Trump and his supporters. Ridiculous.

    I called this earlier. I knew the centrist establishment would come after him after a few more of their clowns bit the dust. The next wave of attacks levied against Bernie will come in the form of Russian conspiracy theories. I’d bet money on it.

    What did you expect? Anyone who gets near the top of the polls gets attacked. It's nothing so special about Bernie.

    Bernie's people are out attacking Biden. Is that unfair? I don't think so.

    I'm not just talking about Biden's people or Warren's people. It's the media and the establishment going after him too. It's different than what the other candidates get, for the most part.

    I don't see that. I see every frontrunner getting hammered. If anything they've gone easy on Bernie. I think there is a better case to be made that they ignore him rather than attack him.

    Do you think the DNC has their preference as well this time around?

    I suppose if they do it would probably be Biden. I think the idea that the DNC has any real ability to force a desired outcome is a bit overblown, though.

    The DNC's corruption was laid bare in all those emails from the 2016 primary. I have no faith in the DNC or the RNC.

    How can you tell anyone is a Hillary fan? Is it a secret hairdo they wear? Perhaps the color of their socks. How?
