but if you wanted to sound authentic, you needed to mock me and end with this guy----->

To sharpen your skills you could enroll at DBU (David Brock University) and take Mocking 101 or The Importance of Demoralizing Sanders Supporters.

Should put a few faux Sanders supporters in their place.

Obama: Sanders ran a fantastic, positive campaign, one that nurtured America's great tradition of liberalism.

Luther: JOHN LEWIS? THEY REALLY WENT THERE? LEAVE THE MAN'S FACEBOOK PAGE ALONE!

And shows that underneath it all, they're just one big happy family, united to screw the 99%.

I find it a nauseating spectacle and have no idea why an outsider like Bernie would want to attend.
