We are alarmed.

I guess the moonbase will have Trump plastered on the side in gold letters.

Can't Trump find a younger better looking politician for the job? Newton would understand.

Think about what you just said. Christie as food taster? The whole family would starve.

Bob Corker already suggested that.

I don't know exactly how Bernie's people feel but I think I have some idea because I was similarly caught up in the Obama phenomena. Fortunately, things worked out for my candidate. If things hadn't worked out, I don't know if anybody could have reasoned me out of that mindset but they sure as hell could not have bullied or insulted me into voting for Hillary. I wasn't a millennial or a hipster either, I was a fortyish white lady living in a red state.

Right. I also don't recall that there was a similar level of angst towards Clinton's PUMAs who refused to vote for Obama, some of whom went on to support McCain instead.

Paradoxically, I was more supportive of Clinton in 2008 because I didn't believe Obama could do any of the things he promised because he was naive of how Congress worked.

In my mind, there was no daylight between Clinton and McCain. Both being frikkin hawks as well as career politicians.

House democrats booing Bernie today when he says it's not about winning elections, it's about transforming America.

It's very amusing to see all these politicians completely confused that Sanders cares more about improving people's lives than his personal gain.

EDIT: I only say this because I'm afraid Bernie is losing his moment.
