After repeated barrages of abuse heaped on Elizabeth Warren by sanders online thugs, do you blame her for sitting it out? I am expecting her to endorse Joe Biden at some point, for party unity's sake. Could she endorse sanders? Maybe. When hell freezes over. st.bernie, his campaign staff, and his online attack dogs simply do not understand that constant attacks on the party, abuse piled on other candidates and ganging up on people who dare post anything critical of him is no way to win the candidacy. Ya don't shit on the party you want to nominate you. That single thing calls into question his judgement and his ability to unite people around him. The Democratic party needs a uniter, not a divider and that is what bernie sanders is.

Everyone's to blame BUT the dear leader ........ the Establishment (read deep state) is why I can't get what I want ........ Only I have the way to a better America ...... pointing fingers and complaining .......

Remind you of anyone?


I've always had a kind of respect for Mr. Sanders, I like his ideas and his policies. I'm much more to the left than most and have been all my life. BUT, I also like to think that I'm a realist and at least halfway informed and intelligent. Yes, despite my username. But he and his "Bros" are starting to weary me with their constant whining and complaining. It's ALWAYS someone elses fault. It's ALWAYS time to point a finger. It's ALWAYS never about him but "the others".

Mr. Sanders , and his acolytes, are not fit to hold Ms. Warrens coat. She, and her supporters of which I was one, could have been natural allies for Mr. Sanders but he chooses to do what he does best. Crap on the Democratic party and then complain because we don't ask for more. He's lost ALL credibility to me and the sooner he drops out the better in my opinion.

“If we inquire, we find that nearly all the kingdoms of the world have been overthrown by women.”
