As a Hillary Clinton supporter, I advocate a concession; Hillary Clinton should drop out of the race

This trouble at the Nevada convention shows that Sanders needs to be given the nomination to avoid any sort of problems at the convention. Nothing is worth any threats or violence, so if Clinton conceding is what it takes to avoid a big blow up at the convention, then I support that occurring.

It's too late for me to vote for Sanders, since I already filled out my absentee ballot, but I won't mail it in out of fairness to Sanders supporters.

We're still waiting for the evidence though.

Those who deny a peaceful revolution make a violent revolution inevitable.

Because the taint of violence in the movement ain't gonna work in a general election. Combine that with his ideology and its lose, lose.

It was worth it for the Civil Rights Bill and Voting Rights and LBJ's other achievements, but its no way to win the WH. What don't you get?

Just wait until tRump discusses Bernie's honeymoon in Russia and many other inflammatory events surrounding Bernie's past, which the right has conveniently ignored, in hopes that he gets the Dem nomination. The take-down would be fast and efficient.


Truth is, only Hillary can defeat this shit bag tRump.

Maybe back during the Red Scare they might have cared, but in the 21st Century, not so much.

One of those "dreaded" Islamic countries. Even that didn't hurt his chances, so I doubt Bernie's visit to the Soviet Union decades ago will make anybody care.

My parents were strong Democrats and they would be horrified by Bernie's past. I still know many of their elderly friends and relatives, all of whom are similarly horrified. Sorry you are so uninformed.
