All the stuff I always 'knew' was going on is now being blatantly displayed by the cornered rats. And there are more RATS than I suspected.
Today was different for me than others.
A watershed, of sorts;
I just became a LOT angrier!

And on behalf of Hillarydom, I humbly accept your heartfelt congratulations. Thank you.

(34,825 posts)Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), the most powerful African-American in Congress, recalls a 2am phone call he received from Bill Clinton after Barack Obama defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2008 South Carolina primary.
Clyburn stayed neutral in the primary, however Bill Clinton didn't think so.
"If you bastards want a fight, you damn well will get one," Clinton said according to Clyburn.
"He was very upset," Clyburn recalled. "His wife had just suffered a major defeat in the South Carolina primary, and I had not been involved in it, but Bill Clinton thought otherwise."
"We met by accident several weeks later
we've seen each other several times since. In fact, I had a lovely breakfast with Hillary two to three years after that. I think everything's okay," Clyburn told ABC News' Jeff Zeleny in an interview aired on Yahoo!

BTW, you others, please take a lesson in graciousness from Cali. Hurling filthy insults and lies at everyone you suddenly consider not "one of you" in this reflects poorly on Sen. Sanders.
