I too live in SW MO (Springfield). A huge Bernie supporter who urged him to run for president when he was reluctant to do so. Could only afford one Bernie yard sign but they are appearing all over my neighborhood. Claire shouldn't be running down a fellow democrat. If she supports Hillary then she needs to do that but not act like a republican and condemn a fellow dem who may be our candidate. Clinton did something similar in '08 when she ran against Obama siding with McCain saying the two of them at least have the experience necessary to be president but Obama doesn't and I though never side with a republican opponent against a dem candidate who might very well turn out to be the nominee. Here is McCaskill doing the same shallow thinking. She also said unemployment benefits and food stamps do not stimulate the economy. Ha. Just the opposite is true. Same with her Bernie comment...just the opposite is true. Bernie energizes the base and the majority making up the democratic party. Feel the Bern
