Yeah, the primaries are getting to me today.

Between DU and MSNBC and Facebook, my blood pressure's been rising. I guess, even with a liberal use of the ignore button and mute button, the Bernie bashing and "it's over!!!" stuff still comes through. Could use a bit of a pep talk. I believe the going negative will boomerang on Hillary, but it's still frustrating as hell.

I think that Bernie has good instincts.......He has to match Hillary on this.

He is speaking the truth, and I think that we have reached a point in American history when only authenticity and the truth win out.

People have been fooled by Trump's success but his unfavorable numbers are higher than Hillary's......

Spin has run its course...it will no longer win elections. Hillary will not win this battle.

something I got from the MSM. As we all know, it's blatantly biased and can't be trusted.

I'd also recommend staying away from GD-P.

I only look at Bernie supporter pages. I highly recommend using ignore, trash, and the mute. I only watch local news and if the primary is mentioned I hit the mute for the duration of the segment. I also avoid looking at Hillary just as much I avoid seeing Cruz.

There's no reason to torment yourself. They are what they are so let 'em have at it - without watching it.
