If he says he roots for the Dodgers, it will be a NET WIN for him.

Two weeks of nothing but New York. People are going to adore this man, and he will win this city and this state. (It will be a huge margin for him upstate.)

He should work the tokens into his stump speech. Clinton was supposedly living here 13 years ago - you think she ever held a token in her mitt?

That was one of the stupidist interview questions I have ever seen Bjorn Against Apr 2016 #50

Here, read the interview at this link: brush Apr 2016 #55

the ny times article contradicts everything you are saying amborin Apr 2016 #84

What are you talking about? It's not what I said, it's what Sanders said to . . . brush Apr 2016 #92

i'm talking about the nyt article about how sanders knows how to proceed w/ the banks amborin Apr 2016 #96
