With those Castro comments, Bernie is NOT going to win Florida.

Sheesh - how old is he? How long has he been around? Did he truly not realize you DON'T talk up Castro's Cuba where Floridians are within earshot? Especially if you hope to get them them to vote for you!

For Pete's sake!

He won't.

He'll go on scolding, and pointing, and kvetching about how this huge avalanche of young voters is gonna come out of the woodwork and change the tide of the election. Just like in 2016. When he sat out all summer til the convention, holding out for all those voters who hadn't been accounted for yet.

And they never showed up.

Maybe they never existed to begin with?

Mine too. Ironic that the pollster quoted in the story is someone named Bernie Porn.

I had to read that more than once to make sure I was seeing straight.

I'm totally with you on that, onetexan.

Totally with you on that.

Hillary was the pinnacle. I’m STILL hurting from that one. It’s gonna take a long time for me to get over it, if ever.

We used one when we moved, a couple of years ago.

Everything was fine. Worked out well. Nothing damaged or missing. Delivered to the new address when they said they would. If you’re uneasy, pack everything securely. Husband tied it all up inside with rope so nothing would shift weight or fall.

Yikes!

Definitely this.

Thank you Mayor Bloomberg!

Frankly, if THIS is how the game is played, then so be it. Then I want MY billionaire, too. For MY side and MY nominee.

No, I don’t like it. I don’t think the guy with the most money and spending power gets to win. I don’t like it that the White House can be bought.

But Citizens United made it happen. The GOP made it happen, once again ignoring any thought that there might be unintended consequences.

So, okay then.

Game ON.

Besides, I love a good irony.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
