(15,435 posts)I REALLY don't think what anyone of us thinks... Hillary was ALWAYS going to be the winner! Even when he had a good performance the first time, and people said he had a great performance the consensus ended up being that Hillary won.
Did people say what they said, could be. But Hillary made many comments that made my stomach churn. Even O'Malley gets NO recognition of any sort. Hillary could have said she wanted to go full force for 100,000 troops to be sent right away and I doubt this statement would have raised any problems.
It has saddened me and is very upsetting that it's come to this but at this moment in time I can only express how I feel. Im a Boomer and have seen many, many ups and downs that this country has fought for and stood tall for, but I don't think I ever experienced what I'm seeing now.
Even with all these odds and blocks in the way I will remain a Bernie supporter and will work for what I believe in. It's what I've always done and have to stay true to who I am. I don't feel Hillary's policies and what I feel she will do should she be elected will be best for this country. It's MORE OF THE SAME and it's hard for me to see how "more of the same" has fixed anything or WILL fix anything.
I AM very worried and have a lot of fear about where we're headed, but mostly I wonder how those of us who have lost so much and are struggling to make ends meet will find real answers.
