I know what you mean, all american girl.. I've been saying kinda the same thing.. I

think they actually believe all their Hillary hate hype to get sanders elected.

It's like the way faux "news" whines about President Obama.. if I believed all that I wouldn't like him, either.

Well stated OP... we know for a fact that BS has lost more than a few supporters over their vicious tactics.

You would think that since it didn't work in the beginning that they would have stopped. But, Noooooooooo. It only got worse and they lost even more supporters.



Hillary

Thank you!

Just getting some Quotes down for my journal!

Anne here: congratulations to Hillary on winning Connecticut, as well as Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware. Time to unite the party behind Hillary. And boy, judging from some of the bitter, sour, divisive and politically suicidal comments by some Bernie supporters here, I hope Bernie does some straight talking to his people. And the sooner the better. Bernie has been a great champion for his causes. He has made history. So let's not see the Democrats divided in the general because of Bernie. That would be a poor legacy for an admirable man who deserves a chance to continue his crusade under a Hillary Clinton Democratic Presidency.

Anne Rice maybe he should have run as an independent in the first place. Looks like he's used the Democratic Party for his purposes. I'm frankly deeply disgusted with his followers, and their nastiness. I wish I'd never given the guy a nickel, or a dime, or a penny, or a quarter. What a sorry mess.

Anne Rice I'm very sorry I ever contributed a nickel to Bernie's campaign. I had no idea his followers would become obstructionist and go to the depths they have with the politics of personal destruction. They're worse than Republicans.

Anne Rice tells it! I don't remember anyone throwing her under the bus because she supported BS.. I know I didn't or anyone except the surrogates who started out insulting icons like John Lewis, Delores Huerta and all of us!

Aloha California! Everything is true from what I've seen.. Thankfully we're not the only

ones who've noticed, mister.

We have to agree with David Plouffe, Obama’s former campaign manager, who tweeted out the other day:

“Sanders has run a stunningly strong campaign fueled by passionate supporters. But raising $$ stating you have path to nomination is fraud
.”

Some Sunday host asked BS about this and he said.. DP works for the Clinton campaign.. which is a damn lie. He endorsed her only. And, it's still "fraud"..

Great 1st comment..

I have been a delegate to the last 10 National Conventions and attended dozens of Democratic National Committee meetings, over the decades. I have never met Senator Sanders. He finally came to a DNC meeting last summer in Minneapolis, to speak as a presidential candidate. What bothers a lot of Democrats, is Sanders has shown disdain for the Democratic Party for decades. He ran against a woman (sound familiar) incumbent Democratic Governor, ran against Senator Pat Leahy (almost costing him the election) but now acting like he has been “family” all his life. People from Vermont have said- Bernie is consistent- he is always for Bernie.

Thank you! I love it! Calbuzz!

Rosario Dawson's own rep is in the toilet for attempting to smear Workers Rights Icon Delores

Huerta.

Rosario Dawson, how dare you lecture Dolores Huerta?

When legendary farm labor, feminist, and voting rights activist Dolores Huerta published an op-ed saying she didn’t know enough about Sanders to vote for him, citing his inconsistent record on immigration and his lack of presence in the United Farm Workers struggle (that’s the labor union she co-founded with the late Cesar Chavez), the person who spoke up on Sanders’ behalf was an actress who once played Huerta in a poorly received biopic of Chavez. Rosario Dawson, a 36-year-old from New York City whose Latino ancestors hail from Puerto Rico, a US territory, and Cuba, the beneficiary of an open-door US immigration policy these last 57 years, wrote an op-ed in the Huffington Post lecturing Huerta.

“I am surprised, dismayed, and concerned that you would do your legacy such a disservice by becoming an instrument of the establishment, rather than joining this movement to create a better America like you once inspired us to do,” Dawson said.

It's dawson who's the poor little tool. Delores Huerta will go down in History as the Worker's Rights Icon that she is.. and rosario will be on the junk pile of history for ignorantly trying to portray her as #soestablishment

Forget that Huerta not only cofounded the UFW but has dedicated six decades to fighting on the front lines of the workers’ rights movement. She’s been arrested 22 times while demonstrating for the cause and was even hospitalized in 1988 – as a grandmother – with two broken ribs and a ruptured spleen while protesting President George HW Bush’s opposition to the UFW grape boycott. Forget all of it. Dawson has declared Huerta’s legacy destroyed on Bernie’s behalf.

In case there was any doubt as to whether Sanders approved of her message, Dawson was subsequently picked to introduce him at speaking events in San Diego and Los Angeles, where she told crowds to be wary of the media. She spoke of how she been registering Latino voters for 11 years through Voto Latino. Good for her. Dolores Huerta has been doing it for 56, since back when that kind of thing could get you lynched.
