94. I am trying to ignore it all
Wed Sep 6, 2017, 11:12 AM
Sep 2017

and the more I do the better I feel.

Bernie likely does not give a flying f about what she has to say. He is still relevant and out working to try to get good things to happen in this country and no, most people (not here) but most people could care less what team someone is on if they do what is needed and desired in this country.

Hillary is out, she has no office. Is she important? Yes, kind of. More in the sense of history. She has done a lot for our country over a long period of time. How you feel about what she did is your business. For me she is a very mixed bag but she deserves respect for what she has done and for the fact that she did it facing very large odds. Still, she did the work and put in the time and now, after losing twice I do not see the need for her to do this. It sounds terrible to me. I cannot say why because no matter what you say it will get you pummeled by those who cannot see why she lost and will not look inward. There are many, most in fact who have done that and moved on.

Let them burn themselves out. Ignore them, trash threads or read it and remember who they are because they are always here and will be back with another super rock star candidate who they will take you out for saying anything not positive about. I do not think most of these people are Democrats, they sure as hell don't have a clue what is going on nor are they mature enough to let this go.
