First they ignore you...

To my fellow Bernie supporters, I think it's time to take a step back and realize what is going on.

It was only a few months ago that we were seeing the comparison of news coverage between Bernie and everyone else. I think Bernie had been given about 40 seconds on one network.

Right now we're seeing a combination of cynical laughter coupled with some outright vicious attacks from the MSM and Hillary's allies. Definitely understandable from Hillary's camp. Also understandable from the MSM if we actually believe our own press that they are part of the problem.

What we all need to remember is what comes after them fighting us...

First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.

Viscous has to do with "having a thick, sticky consistency between solid and liquid; having a high viscosity"

synonyms: glutinous, gelatinous, thick, viscid, mucous, mucoid, mucilaginous, gummy, gluey, adhesive, tacky, adherent, treacly, syrupy...


I'm not sure if anybody is ready for the fighting stage yet, except for Bernie's team, who is always at least a step ahead of Hillary, if not 6.

We need a couple of whomping victories in primaries...like what's coming Tuesday. And the SuperBowl has to run its course, and Valentine's Day...distractions finally out of the way, we can proceed.

I'm sure it's irritating to see a spelling mistake. But to suggest I don't know what the word means is incredibly rude. if you must point it out, I'd suggest a simple...I think you meant vicious.
