The fact that both you and pp felt the need to bring Clinton into a post about Sanders, only reinforces my stance so far. Because all he does lately too is bash her

Things don't happen in a vacuum; Sanders caught on with me - and probably others - partly because Clinton is totally beholden to corporate interests. Sanders is not!

She is not the topic of conversation.

The topic is the evolution on Sanders. Mine was an almost direct function of how I felt about Clinton. Very relevant to the topic.

For me as well. As I learned more about the two candidates, the contrast between the two has been a big part of my evolution. You really can't talk about one without saying what the problem is with the other.

Lol, no. Read the OP. Hope that will clear up the confusion

This happened to me. I started out thinking I like this guy and wish he was electable and now I just think "God GO AWAY."

I switched my vote to Hillary last minute in Maryland, when Bernie started hinting at a contested convention and all that. I need a unified Democratic party this election, because the stakes are so high. And I realized he does not necessarily have any loyalty to the Democratic party since he's been independent so long, even though all our views on the issues are much more in sync than with Republicans.

Hillary isn't corrupt. The right wing folks have been trying for decades to find something, and they've found nothing. But the more they repeat their speculations about her, the more people believe "something" must not be right.

Hillary is just plain too conservative for me in general. She's a 70s style moderate Republican. So yes, I align with Bernie, but I need a sane person in office in 2017. And that means beating anything the GOP throws up.

I mute the sound when Hillary is on ...........

Did you read the title of the thread or is it just a reflex for you now to bash Hillary?

All I said is that I mute the sound ............

It's not really Sanders himself, but I cannot deal with the other people in his camp and the way he has allowed them to run amok.

I agree with Sanders on many issues. I agree with him more than Hillary. I give a monthly donation to Sanders. I am thoroughly sick of the Bernie Bros, though, and I am getting sick of him. He needs to reign in his rhetoric against Clinton. She is going to be the nominee. He doesn't serve the party at all by trying to take her down now.
