1. But many more like Bernie than either one of them. Let's vote for the good guy, Bernie!

2. Now there's something Hillary can hang her hat on

She's not as bad as Trump. Awesome.

3. Yeah, I've been wondering when they'd print that on bumper stickers.

4. Just Say No to the Bush family.

Just Say No to the Clinton family.

The pain, destruction, and death these 2 families have caused to the people

in the U.S. and around the globe is incalculable !!!!!

5. Hillary has ZERO, count 'em ZERO, support outside the Democratic Party.

Inside the party she has only about 50% support AT BEST (I'm talking voters not establishment politicians). Only Bernie can tap Democratic Votes as well as Independents and even some Republicans.

6. Reminds me of that South Park episode.
