85. Bernie's audience wanted him to speak

Oct 2015

And he never got to speak in Seattle.
But for some reason that was bad, while it was good when Hillary's audience wanted to speak.
Hillary's BLM protesters didn't call anyone white supremacists.
Hillary's BLM protesters got called ignorant.
Hillary had like 3 or 4 months of more preparation for BLM.

Nope, She isn't taking police brutality serious enough. Not at all. Catherina Oct 2015 #69

This group is nailing it.... NCTraveler Oct 2015 #19
