Anyone know where Cornel West is?

Wasn't he supposed to help Bernie with the African American vote in South Carolina? Instead, Bernie got smoked.

I guess the SC voters weren't all that into West considering how he's bashed Obama over the years.

Instead of reaching for Cornel West, maybe Bernie should have tried to reach out to people like Jim Clyburn?

Just a thought.

You are clearly not worried about alienating Sanders voters who you will need if Clinton wins the primary. Also I always say, you are not doing your candidate any favors.

16. Gracious Winners

I've posted Congratulations to Hillary supporters in two threads tonight. Unfortunately, judging by some of the threads I've seen tonight some of those supporters just don't know how or have forgotten how to be gracious winners. I bet the other Hillary supporters who do know how to be gracious winners are cringing whenever they see these kind of posts. My congratulations are for them for not only winning but staying classy.

I hope all of these threads tonight trying to bait Sanders supporters have very few Sanders supporters posting. But sadly, we too have people in our ranks who don't know how to be gracious in defeat and they will probably take the bait. That will make most of us Sanders supporters cringe too.

The two people considered most dishonest and untrustworthy leading. Not the first time Americans have voted against their interest. I just read an article today about when Sanders supported Jessie Jackson, while delivering a speech on his behalf the Democrats listening all turned their backs on him. And then as he was leaving the stage a woman slapped Bernie in the face.

Attending his first Vermont Democratic Party caucus, Sanders speaks in support of Jesse Jackson’s bid for president. Burlington’s Progressive Coalition has already endorsed Jackson. After casting his caucus vote, the mayor is slapped by an angry resident.
