In reply to the discussion: Sanders won't endorse Feinstein [View all]calimary
(81,220 posts)216. Welcome to DU, radliberal!
As you can see, anytime the "B" word comes up around here, there ensues a very - um - shall we say - "lively" discussion. I've carefully looked at, listened to, and studied the Senator from Vermont. I'm still waiting to be impressed by him. I think I'll be waiting a LOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNGGG time.
Let's just say since he won't endorse her, that's pretty much pushed me back over toward supporting her.
