Then you finally see the examples and it's not even that bad.

I've seen brilliant quotes, unobtainable news, and brutal cruelty in every direction. It seems to have a bit of everything.

How silly is Al Franken with labeling this about "mean" tweets. I did not hear anything "mean." Just people who are expressing their disagreement with him. Also, all the things he listed that he and Hillary are in agreement with, are all things they both seem to also have in common with Bernie Sanders, who supports all those things. Beyond that, how long does Al think we will all be watching the impeachment hearings for Hillary and everything else that will be thrown at her, some of which she brought on herself. I can't wait, but, oh my, would this be considered a mean post? I don't tweet, otherwise that's where I would put it. When we actually can see mean tweets from Bernie supporters, I would like to see that video, otherwise, Al looks very silly in this. A big whiner.

for the first and so far (in my opinion) only positive reach-out effort the Clinton campaign is making to Millennial voters and other Berners.

It's just sad that it will be overshadowed by Clinton's endorsement of Nancy Reagan's "silent activism" for AIDS victims. Hey HRC, are you guys still happy about your standing with that other HRC? Praise Nancy!

I highly doubt it. He is too busy watching his wealth amass on autopilot and complaining that citizens speak their minds to elected officials. The horror of their presumption, to question a Great Man!!!!
