Hillary's right though, Bernie Bros are the problem with Bernie but she's wrong in holding a grudge.

Hillary's right though, Bernie Bros are the problem with Bernie but she's wrong in holding a grudge.

Hillary supporters did more to hurt Obama. Hillary held out longer. Hillary creates attacks that Republicans used for his entire term. The current President co-opted one of Hillary’s smears against him to gain traction politically.

She is dangerous. Bernie Bros are a scapegoat because some people can’t handle that they lost and can’t accept responsibility

My irony meter blew up right there.

That paragraph Hillary has about Bernie....I can't take any issue with that. Insofar as it lists facts, it's accurate and insofar as it communicates perception it certainly seems accurate.

However, as you say, the grudge is totally unjustified. Swallow your pride and say you'll support him, even if it's only a vote.

I’m completely fine saying Bernie lost. I never disputed it. You guys just can’t handle when people bring up that it wasn’t an entirely clean primary

This. Her comments are not needed right now its dumb and trump and fox news will use it for their own means to say "Dems are divided"

The majority of us want Trump gone period. I would absolutely vote for Bernie or Biden/Warren to get rid of Trump period. And most people would.

She needs to use Obama's playbook. Support the Dem tickets it isn't necessary for her to openly attack and endorse the Dem candidates at all. She lost it happened don't help trump by igniting the hate people have for her and tying any Dem candidate with that.

Calls for unity mean nothing if they do not apply to everyone, otherwise it is one side demanding the other side completely submit, I am fine with a compromise, but it needs to be an actual compromise and the establishment types of have shown no willingness to do so.

You expect anything different from sociopath Hilary? She only cares about personal power. Thus why she was willing to overlook her rapist and serial cheater husband because she rode his coattails to power. She has always been a vindictive person. People are just so deranged over Trump in 2016 that they can't see that she is just as bad.

Bernie I think is a decent person. Utterly unrealistic on policy but I'd have taken him without hesitation over Clinton back in 2016 if I had been forced to vote for one or the other.

Collins pushed through 3 changes. More time for opening statements, most testimony time, and full House impeachment articles and transcripts read into the record.

She's also pushing for a witness list and subpoena of documents for evidence.

Appears that Collins has broken with her party.

Shes fake. She knows shes in a perilous position being the constant linchpin to Mitch's bs and caving. Its easy for her to do that when there is no chance GOP will convict anyway.

She can say she tried and use it to campaign.

I’m skeptical. Madam Pearl Clutcher has done similar **** like this before, only to end up toeing the party line like she’s always done. I expect nothing different this time.

Goddamn, the Democrats' impeachment managers are so f'n ready for this.

Meanwhile, Trump's legal counsel look like they're just going to shout until they cry like common Kavanaughs.

It was a clean primary. Everything the Democrats did in favoring Hillary (which they are absolutely entitled to do) actually FAVORED Bernie even more.

So, yes, the irony is there. Bernie got his ass handed to him even after the Dems cleared the slate for him to run (thus giving him the second most vocal platform on the party by a landslide), gave him the party infrastructure he never earned, and allowed him to continue well after he was already beat. You absolutely still "dispute" it with nonsense.

The "Bernie Got Screwed!" argument is false. And stupid. And Trumpian. When you bring it up you roll all of it together and endorse a stupid, false, Trump-like whine. Bernie got screwed out of nothing and the primary was absolutely clean and run EXACTLY how it was meant to.

As I said, she's wrong.

But a Bernie Idol Worshipper who says "can't accept they lost and look for scapegoats" and then constantly mentions the 2016 primary is trying to make irony meters explode with hilarity.

This is called missing the forest for the trees. If Bernie was not allowed to run as a Democrat, he would have been forced to run as an independent. If he ran as an independent, we wouldn’t need an election, the Republicans would have a guaranteed win. It benefitted the Democrats far more to have him confined to their process where they could control him and not have someone destroying the election for them. You yourself would have cried bloody murder if that happened, so don’t try to trick people.

It’s well documented that the primary itself was skewed in favor of Hillary. It takes a lot of ego to call people Trumpian when you deny blatant facts because they are inconvenient to you.
