horrible. At one time the democratic party was about working for all the people. Now, they only want those with $$$$$'s, Country Club Democrats, and they're more than willing to tell one that and to leave if you don't like that. Well, F that, Bernie has my vote and millions of others are doing the same.

Lots of others on the web are discussing it though.
It's another example of the gruff behavior we see in the debates, so people are discussing it. Many saw it live, which is how I heard about it. Brock and the others carrying it didn't create it. It's got zip to do with Hillary.

her only tactic is to delay Sanders' trendline until they run out the clock

she relies on voters not really thinking about the primary, but she can't run on that

Trump.

They are willing to debate to make Bernie happy and give him a platform, because that's all it's about for him now. It's not about him winning the nomination.

Mon Mar 28, 2016, 11:31 PM
Mar 2016

"Hillary Clinton chief strategist Joel Benenson said on CNN Monday that they would refuse to schedule any further debates with Bernie Sanders unless his campaign changed its tone.

“Bernie Sanders wants a debate here [in New York] before the April primary,” host Kate Bolduan noted. “Are you going to agree to it?”

But Benenson changed the subject: “I think what was notable this weekend wasn’t so much that, but in my mind the Washington Post story with his own campaign talking about how they’re poll-testing more negative attacks on Hillary Clinton.”

what you just said is not accurate

30% of a declining Democratic Party and almost every independent voter.

That's what you get when you hire the likes of John Podesta and David Brock
