... I'll address this another way, and it is my own personal opinion. The "under the bus" thing, I believe, is something Hillary supporters came up with because it perfectly describes those people who were okay or great until they endorsed her. Then they became corporatsts, warmongers, 1 percenters etc. It's kind of like the memes Bernie's supporters use such as, "it's her turn", the "Anointed One", waiting for the "coronation", the "chosen one" etc. Words you hear from plenty of Sander's supporters, but as far as I know have never been uttered by a single Clinton supporter. Hope this clears that up for you.

And under the bus goes Grayson. Agnosticsherbet Nov 2015 #1
Who threw Grayson under the bus? frylock Nov 2015 #13
I think they're talking about Grayson's supporters naoya6161 Nov 2015 #14
So when did not being happy with someone become chucking under the bus? frylock Nov 2015 #16
That's not the impression I've gotten from most Grayson supporters I've seen so far naoya6161 Nov 2015 #17
So then providing some links should be of no great effort. frylock Nov 2015 #18

Looks like someone didn't check out the Facebook page naoya6161 Nov 2015 #24
What does FB have to do with DU? frylock Nov 2015 #26
You asked for links proving that people were mad that Grayson endorsed Hillary naoya6161 Nov 2015 #27
When people here refer to bus chucking, it's generally in reference to posters here on DU frylock Nov 2015 #28
