It has forced them into using spitballs.

That's one whacky armada they have going for them.

I'm surprised, no matter what she has done or represents it will be ignored. This country is screwed with the GOP and the right wing side of the Democratic party.

If i were a Hillary supporter, I would be freaking over the post debate polls online that showed, without deviation, a Sanders landslide in the works.

With numbers like 80% for Sanders vs 15% for Clinton appearing in virtually EVERY web based poll, and even validated on a site FOR Democrats like the DU where pro-Hillary posts can only muster single digit to low-low double digit Rec's, while pro-Bernie posts repeatedly garner triple digit Recs on the same site.

Even the campaign donations raised through this Democratic Party based website are overwhelmingly FOR Bernie Sanders. It seems that ALL the signs point in one direction, yet the media and Clinton supporters constantly point in the opposite direction.

Oh yes, we know those internet polls weren't "scientific"...but do they really mean absolutely "nothing" as compared to carefully designed and conducted agenda driven media push polls?...I don't think so.

Yes, I smell desperation all right. A rank desperation fermented from the sweat of Conservatives who make personal gains through selling out of the poor and middle class and suddenly realizing that the ivory tower of abundance they have built for themselves under the umbrella of Conservative Democrat/Conservative Republican "bi-partisanship" could quite possibly be toppled by a people driven political movement that their media swamis can't seem to derail using conventional tried-and-true tactics of scaring us with evil "socialism".

Yes, there is desperation in the air....yes indeed.

Are those comments of desperation or the mask coming off. I think it is the latter brought on by the former.

I smell it too.
This was Saturday.



I smell desperation from people who are sick and tired of the system and being thrown under the bus. They're fed up with corporate candidates who are more in touch with economic issues than social issues. They're sick of both parties selling out to special interests while being marginalized into basically nothing. They see a candidate who makes remarks that $15/hr minimum wage isn't realistic yet charges $250,000 per speaking engagement. They're fed up and sick of tired of completely busting their asses while people in other countries have it better. They're fed up with the thought of barely hanging on and surviving for their future while swimming in student loan debt.

Ya, I smell desperation. A lot of it.
It's called the will to live.

And if one of the other candidates sees this as their most promising line of attack, so be it.

Winners usually act like they've been there, so it's not a shock to see Hillary supporter resort to such "desperate" measures.
