(7,299 posts)A guy who's willing to spend close to a billion dollars to defeat Democrats up and down the ticket would have no problem recognizing the divisions between Hillary and Sanders supporters and leveraging Sanders' supporters emotions with such a comment. We can't stop their money right now but we have no excuse for being played as their useful idiots. Understand now ?

She has a 25 year track record. There is no doubt as to what she is at this point.
