About these "accusations that had already started to stick" -- what were they? Jim Lane Feb 2018 #77

You seem to think that differences over issues and policy made no difference at all. Jim Lane Feb 2018 #125

Not "equating", but from the indictment one can't deny that the Russians attempted to help him. George II Feb 2018 #57

Wasnt the second agreement after she won the primary? bettyellen Feb 2018 #118
I'm talking about the 2015 agreement Jim Lane Feb 2018 #124
The thing is- Sanders created an adversarial relationship with the DNC. Stealing data, suing them bettyellen Feb 2018 #146
You spew out lie after lie and ignore the secret 2015 agreement. Jim Lane Feb 2018 #147
It gave her the power IF she should become the nominee. And so fucking what. bettyellen Feb 2018 #148
Your subject line is just flat-out false. Jim Lane Feb 2018 #149
