Bernie, if you or your people read this you can win my vote

Simply distance yourself from one or two of the hateful things your supporters are saying. Number one would be the Planned Parenthood trash talk.

A simple, calming, positive statement would suffice, just like you did on the e-mail b.s.

winning a vote for doing something so simple versus pointing out Bernie's positive message is just too easy. There must be a catch!

although I doubt any of us will consider voting for Hillary if she does it, since she changes what she supports almost daily. We aren't likely to be duped by her and her well practiced, open mouth grin.

The CAPS are mine of course, but there it is; all someone has to do is read your post to win your vote.

Commitment of the highest degree, that is.

Go make a "Cary sucks" thread.

Every campaign has assholes attached to it, well except for Jim Gilmore's campaign since he has no supporters.

You want a presidential candidate to apologize on behalf of his supporters, but what did they exactly do?

It sounds like you are saying sanders and his supporters need to bow down to the candidate you support, but for what reason?

This post comes off as quite pitiful, to say the least.

Also, you should always provide sources to back up your claims (none are cited), as well as asking yourself whether the candidate should apologize or maybe just the supporters who "trash talked" PP should--we are not in 2nd grade and no one should have to apologize when supporters say things that you take issue with.

Moreover, the fact that you demand a statement on behalf of you supporting him in the future is outrageous. The biggest problem within the HRC camp and its supporters are the authoritative expectations that they would like their opponents to adhere to. It's ridiculous.

Also, I never said you sucked, in fact I asked questions--get a grip, girl.

Start a thread whining with false claims of peoples' reaction towards something they care very much about - and many here are probably just as dependent upon PP as the millions of others - and then turning it into a pity-fest for yourself when you get replies, and out come the little violins. Here's another, just for harmony.

I made my statement. It stands on its own. It is not dependent upon anything that anyone else thinks about either my statement or about me.

Why would it?
