Independents don't owe any party their loyalty. HRC is alienating them right and left!

t, many other backers are independents. Some mistrust the party so much that Sanders supporters booed the party chair when she took the stage Friday night at a dinner at which the candidates spoke.

Do you really think calling them vindictive and childish before ANYTHING has happened yet, will woo them to her?
