All flowery "I love/support/whatever Bernie, BUT" - Brockwurst.

All screeds that, boiled down, are just "you better support Hillary" - Brockwurst.

All word salads that attempt, Palin-style, to obfuscate and redefine Hillary's positions on things like war and fracking and means-testing Social Security as GOOD things - Brockwurst.

All commands to proceed on the assumption that Hillary has already "won" - yep!, old, past its sell-by date, Brockwurst.

Any post or OP that purports Bernie supporters don't support Hillary because we have woman issues - brockwurst.

And then I hit the Full Ignore, because it really is the issues, and Hillary is on record - or as much on record as a spinning top, a weather-vane, or a whirling Dervish can be, I guess.

And a little hilarious side effect - all the poutrage and outrage when it is suggested that a poster is a paid operative, or troll, as this is sometimes known - Bwahahahaha! Just like buying Facebook likes and Twitter followers, Hillary's campaign has a little army of paid trolls. Officially. since we cannot tell the difference, safest to assume all bullshit is Brockwurst. Old sausage ya wouldn't want to eat, but - sausage. Reddit thinks it is funny, too.

That's awesome. That's a good way to reference it. These goons get on here and are ruining everything good about this site. This has been the first place I go when I get online for the past 9 yrs. I only recently got to joining in

You guys are the best. GO BERNIE!!!

Brockwurst!

Notice how many of the same messages were posted and echoed after NY that Bernie was finished and he'd cut and run to Vermont plus coordinated posts attacking Bernie's Campaign managers inferring they were incompetent.

Pure FEAR that Bernie came so close to Hillary in winning NY when the Clinton Family had put so much time, effort, money and influence into winning. How could He! It was shameful that even without significant MSM coverage he could actually come within 16 points of winning it all plus picking up all those delegates that should have gone to her.

I doubt that they will volunteer to reveal their status.
