is that a larger percentage of Republicans - as mentally ill as they may be - are willing to embrace "change" and a candidate that's running outside their own system than Democrats... strange strange strange.

Better to fight for a pacifist when fighting is the last option than to die for a warmonger in an intervention that isn't the defense of the Constitution.

They also love using Bernie's initials BS to attack him and his supporters. They call us BSers. Then they claim that it's only Sanders supporters who attack poor meek Hillary supporters.

The bit about how college Republicans in Nevada are going to show up today, cross register and vote for Sanders is part of it.

So the bogus argument seems to be 'Bernie can't win so he is just selfishly damaging the inevitable Clinton.'

As a lawyer said about Bill once "it just doesn't fit...those facts, those stubborn facts."

Do they run them through us to see how much traction each one gets, or is it just random trolling?

If nothing else, they're amusing.

"Hillary is down in all national polls! We need Sanders destroyed with a messaging juggernaut!"

"Should we start with prime-time placements on CNN and Bloomberg?"

"I want you to saturate the Internet with this talking point, 'Bernie Sanders is a sexist, non-Democrat, egomaniac with a rainbow-unicorn campaign run by Bernie Bros who only want free stuff for their anti-feminist girlfriends who are all going to hell for bribing Bernie with $27 donations that are funneled through a corrupt Super Pac run by evil nurses."
