Berned out

Sitting at the orthodontist for my daughters check up....

I accidentally clicked on a video of Bernies speech yesterday and it started playing loudly on my phone. I hurriedly turned it off so as not to be obnoxious. The receptionist who is a democrat (based on previous conversations with her) loudly said to me,

"I'm so sick of that guy. I'm ready for him to go!"

Amen. I think he really screwed himself this week.

I was so happy.

I've been quiet here for the past month because I just couldn't handle the nonsense on the rest of the board. It's time to come home and start the count down!

covered in magic marker scribblings, ranting about Hillary Clinton doing paid speeches for Wall Street, and that only Bernie could save the Republic from Donald Trump.

95% sure that guy posts at DU and/or Daily Kos.

Wacked out and glassy eyed.

Smile at the lunatic and keep walking!

Really, really sad.

Let's hope this person will come out of it and realize that a non-vote for Hillary is a vote for Trump.

They helped very much to elect a Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice who is a extremist right wing racist bigot because they didn't know anything about her. Ballots have more than one person on them, it seems.

the college-age people who love hearing how lots of things will be 'free' (without, however talking about how those freebies will be paid for) but he gives the same speech over - and over - and over again. After a while it just becomes background noise.

Think he is going to start losing people who were on the fence or that liked both candidates. Everything that's been happening is piling on top of each other. Even though he won Wisconsin it doesn't seem like a good week for Bernie!
