Here's a thought. DWS should seek out Bernie and apologize.

Marshall apologized, and should resign for his pathetic ploy to disparage Bernie's faith. But, he didn't apologize to Bernie.

DWS needs to apologize, personally, to Bernie. Have them sit in a room together and work things out. Bernie can then come out publicly and say he accepts her apology, and it's no longer an issue.

There is healing in penance and forgiveness. We need this as a party.

Because she didn't agree with Weaver's assertion that they had agreed on a California debate.

The DNC was having its own problems with Bernie's campaign, apart from Hillary, and that was an example. DSW was in charge of setting up the debates and she knew whether there was an agreement or not.

She has become a distraction and is hurting Clinton's campaign now. She should buy a ticket to a nice secluded resort with her family and enjoy some me time.

you can say in any thread? We get it. You are pissed off that DWS has to sleep in the bed she made for herself, and that Bernie's supporters refuse to let it go. But, your internet yelling isn't going to do anything but add to the acrimony tearing us apart. Want unity for the sake of electing Clinton? Or do you just want to stay pissed off and yell "I'M GOING TO CUT OFF MY NOSE"?

DWS has no one to blame for her mess but herself and those who hacked the DNC email server and revealed her true thinking.

Wake the fuck up. It is the bernies (or the Rump trolls, cannot tell which) who are in Philly pitching a fit like two year olds. Bernie got beat, take it like a grown up.

These hacked emails come out right at the start of the Dem convention and the bernies act just as planned. Planned by the Rump campaign. Damn, bernies, I thought you were smarter than that.

I heard you the first hundred times. I just don't give a fuck. Vote Rump for all I care. Or don't vote. Vote extortion will not work with me. Or anyone else for that matter. You are a tiny minority. Most bernies have moved on and understand the consequences. Apparently you do not.

FYI, I do not give one shit about this DWS rhubarb. It is completely irrelevant.

doesn't care about this DWS stuff, you have shown up in two threads about it, throwing your tantrum.

I get it. Bernie gets it. DWS resigning shows she is starting to get it. You are the one yet to get it. Now, lest my continued posting to you causes you to have the stroke you seem to be heading toward, bye.

Apologizing might be nice, but it would not stop the train wreck that will occur if DWS appears at the convention. It is the train wreck I hope to avoid.

who happen to have 'peeps; who are bigoted against that minority. Brad with his Southern Baptist peeps he eagerly sought to inform that Bernie was some atheist Jew is not at all acceptable. Southern Baptists are bigoted against LGBT as well. The white congregations are often quite racist.

If the machine wants DWS bailed out, there will be some Oprah moment, perhaps even with an apology.

They may be content to let her lie low tor a while, confident that this mess will soon be forgotten.
