138. Forced out by the FBI?
Tue May 24, 2016, 01:37 PM
May 2016

OOOH! I guess that is part of their job description? Forcing candidates out of office? Just like the bernistas here who say HRC is on the verge of being indicted by the FBI? Indicting people is part of their job description, too? (The FBI does not indict people).



Sanders will not be running as a third party candidate. Too many states have sore loser laws, so that would not work.

Who the hell is Blow Dry Jo? Can you speak in plain English?

Too many BS supporters lack understanding of basic civics. They should have learned that stuff in eighth grade. And Google is your friend.

ME TOO!!! Herman4747 May 2016 #1
