    "Sanders’ supporters were drawn to him because of his status as a progressive"
    Why do they label him a progressive? Seems closer to a communist to me.
    Well at any rate, I guess Green isn't the right color for him.

    So much for being a man of conviction. His followers are irate, call him a sell out, betrayal, etc.

    #NeverHillary. @JillStein.

    I'd rather have a Commie like Bernie than a Nazi like Trump.

    I wouldn't call him a sell out because I understand his reasoning even if I don't really agree with it. He got the party and Clinton to promise some good things, for whatever that's worth. I still won't be voting for Hillary though.

    What's funny is Mags and the other Trumpers are having an Bernie Insult Fest on Twitter and Facebook.

    That's actually the Jedi party. The Sith party uses red lightsabers and deals in absolutes.

    Swing-state stunner: Trump has edge in key states

    The race is so close that it's within the margin of error in each of the three states. Trump leads by three points in Florida — the closest state in the 2012 election — 42 percent to 39 percent. In Ohio, the race is tied, 41 percent to 41 percent. And in Pennsylvania — which hasn't voted for a Republican presidential nominee since 1988 — Trump leads, 43 percent to 41 percent.

    ...

    In another blow to Clinton, a McClatchy-Marist poll of registered voters nationwide released on Wednesday showed Clinton's lead over Trump slip to three points, 42 percent to 39 percent, after leading by six points in a Fox News poll conducted in late June.

    The polls from the Connecticut-based school are likely to be met with some skepticism. When Quinnipiac released their first round of polls in the same three states two months ago, they prompted a round of sniping from Democrats and an F-bomb on Twitter from Nate Silver, the FiveThirtyEight founder who has built a career using poll results to make political predictions.

    But subsequent polls later confirmed the May Quinnipiac surveys: Trump pulled virtually even with Clinton nationally after knocking out his rivals for the GOP nomination.

    It’s possible the results of the FBI investigation into Clinton’s private email server dating back to her service as secretary of state — FBI Director James Comey called Clinton and her staff “extremely careless,” even as he said the government shouldn’t press charges because there wasn’t evidence of criminal intent — are driving Clinton’s poll numbers down leading into the conventions, typically a critical time for campaigns.

    Please tell me you know that "Nazi" is short for "National Socialism".
