And like too many lousy "papas"--no consequences. In fact, his "children" see nothing to lose at all.

Teh sheer amount of white people who feel the need to tell John Lewis how to live his life is overwhelming.

he does this shit for money honey. He and his followers despise progressives such as yourself, but how nice that you help to put a dollar in that turd's pocket.

He's a narcissist and could not care less about Sanders.

I'm ashamed to say he's gay.

dealing with a bunch of drunk testosterone driven gamer fratboys. This is no way to win friends and influence people. If BS, by some miracle, winds up with the nomination, he's going to need all these delegates (like John Lewis) to get out there and hustle for him. I just don't see them doing that with any level of enthusiasm, not with all the venom coming from the BS camp.

I just scanned the piece and John Lewis is being trashed as well. John Lewis. Just another establishment figure, eh?

So, this is the revolution everyone's waiting for??? Anyone who disagrees gets a shot to the head.

My message to the Saint Bernard Brigade?

Keep on digging, boys. You're almost there.

If he addresses it at all, he'll try to frame it as a "both sides do it" situation.

Or, they're just showing their true selves and true feelings. It's one or the other, but I'm not sure which.
