I know I said I wasn't going to gloat about the NY blowout and then

BSS ramped up their vitriol and smears, so in addition to defending Hillary, I will continue to point out the myriad reasons why Bernie would have 0 chance in the GE. I love hearing Tad Devine saying the Republican attack machine wouldn't go after Bernie's checkered past. There are times I've wished she would have been harder on his pie in the sky proposals but Hillary has wisely handled Bernie with kid gloves. It will make party unity more attainable. So after Tuesday, I will try again not to gloat .Wish me luck.

a shortage of gloat from the other team when Sanders Won primaries.

I do not intend to tiptoe.

After all the stalking and harassment I've gotten of late, that can't happen soon enough.

pick a post at random, and reply to it.

The hope is that no one will notice. They're trying to boost their post count so they don't look quite so obviously "new" and it is easier for them to troll.

They do it on occasion in the oddball groups I host, thinking that no one is minding the store. I immediately turn the names over to MIRT--sometimes they get busted, other times they troll on for awhile before they get bagged.

The same kind of over the top Hillary hate and when I replied they had my post hidden. I think they are fishing. They use extreme and nasty posts as bait and they plant the in old posts.
I just wave at them now.

That's hilarious. Why does Tad Devine think the Repub attack machine wouldn't go after Bernie?? Did he give a plausible reason for that? They've obviously left him alone thus far because they were trying to help him out as much as they could. They're not stupid enough to think he would fare well in a General Election, despite the meaningless polls.

The on-line crap, sleazy ads and talk radio will be absolutely horrendous.

Surely all the BS supporters remember how President Obama was vilified in the RW media and in ads. His relationship to Jeremiah Wright, questioning his birth certificate, demonizing his name"Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

What do they think the RW will do to a Jewish Lefty Democratic Socialist who went to Russia for his honeymoon, admired Daniel Ortega and Che Guevara, etc.

They'll have a field day.

abuse and anger we've all experienced, damn right we have a right to gloat! Next Wednesday I intend to give it to them full force.
