I wonder if they will overcome the stench that is HRC?

 

[Mr. Deez]

I'm no Hillary fan, but this is pretty ridiculous. How do these people expect to be taken seriously? Not only that, it is pointless. All that's going to happen is that some people are going to look silly, get overzealous, and likely end up with trouser chili. Why go to that level of trouble and ruin your pants?

Extremely ridiculous. At his age, Bernie should not join in this "movement". Very dangerous.

He is such a disappointing sellout
I wonder what he got in return?
He must have held out for something, right?
He could have run as 3P/Socialist -- or -- just shut up.
She needed him, he knew it. What did he get?
Dont the people have a right to know this?

Isn't knowing he's a sellout enough? He appears to have gotten some of his ideas into the Democratic Party platform, albeit his main idea of opposition to International trade agreements didn't make it.

FWIW- He seems to have gotten more than Chris Christie, Scott Walker or Marco Rubio.

Ted Cruz deserves credit so far for sticking to his statements. That may change when he talks at the RNC though.

Sadly, I think in many of their circles, this would be taken seriously, and would gain them a whole lot of respect.

They have no chance against HRC. Nobody is more full of **** than she.

 

[Seattle Husker]

Recognizing that thehill.com took the article from US News and World Report, that article has to be click-bait. Aint nobody taking that group seriously with a response like that to HRC.

Hillary has responded by trying to appeal to young people with pokemon. Unfortunately, she will fail again because young people are more receptive to farts (including old farts like Bernie) than pokemon.

I can see the conversations between Bernie and Hillary delegates at the convention now:

"Support Hillary! You should support her because I'll give you a Pokemon if you do."

"Where is the Pokemon?" (Lets out a huge fart.) "I fart on your Pokemon. Bernie forever!"

Somewhere James Madison is looking at the 2016 election, Hillary's pokemon appeal, Team Bernie's farting supporters and Donald Trump, and he is telling George Washington "I guess we should have listened to Patrick Henry and Samuel Adams and just stuck with the Articles of Confederation after all."

 

[Mr. Deez]

"I guess we should have listened to Patrick Henry and Samuel Adams and just stuck with the Articles of Confederation after all."

Or just stayed in the British Empire. Would you rather be ruled by Queen Elizabeth or the classless losers currently running for president?

All you guys, and not one of you has made a "hot air" pun.
I'm so proud of you, I have a little something in my eye.

All that means is that NJlonghorn hasn't seen this thread yet.

[Joe Fan]

Is this the explanation for Bernie's quiet departure?

He just bought a $600k lakehouse/summer home
He has other homes in DC & Burlington
Socialism pays (for a few)
