4. I'm not sure what the legal status is. I've read here that it wasn't.

Bernie was shaking hands in polling locations, I've heard.

She is pretty good on facts. I'm skeptical. Even if legal, it's so trashy. In fact now that I'm thinking about it, why aren't all candidates out at the polling lines, advertising themselves.

We've got a phone bank for Bernie in my way out of the way location. This is good.

5. There is video of a Bill rally for Hillary that had the block closed so he could speak on bullhorn

Voters could not drive or park to get to their poll for hours.

And she and another as well, said the block was closed.

This is why I love this place. Stuff gets hashed out.

6. Beware the false equivalency. Was Bernie shaking hands with a bull horn?

Was he inside the polling place? Did the polling place have to lock down during the voting day?

8. I read yes, he was inside. But was that true?

I wonder what the rules or laws are regarding this, or rather what their intentions were. Speaking of which, I wonder what Bill's intentions were. I really mean his. What was he thinking?

Meanwhile, we're alive to fight another day. We should be thrilled that our messages got out on national TV and we proved you could make it this far without the help of corporate contributions, combined with having none or negative media attention.

9. Did you read from people who witnessed it or from credible sources that he was inside?

And is that the only thing I wrote that you questioned?

Where did you read that Bernie was shaking hands at polling places?

11. Thanks. I had read one of those.

I read the second and I think I've got the right take on this. It's really bending the rules, if not breaking them. We're left with a question. But the bigger picture is what are his intentions. I really wish they'd take their 150 million and go enjoy it. Leave this to us. It's been a rough day. Some days are clear, and some make concentration difficult. I try to keep up. Things are good.
