Now, why would you lie about that? He totally revitalized the economy in Burlington. He cleaned up the Lake Champlain Waterfront. He fought relentlessly for Smart Grid technology. He fought to protect the North Gate community from becoming luxury condos. People in VT love him. There is no reason to lie about this.

Back door insults are a compulsion for about three Bernie Sanders supporters on this page. You seem to be one of them.

Huh? How is that a back door insult? Are there music geeks out there supporting Hillary? If so, then I apologize to all 3 of you.

How is that a back door insult? You're right. There is no segment of society, none at all, that like to acknowledged for their offbeat taste in music and depth of knowledge in same. And certainly saying that someone doesn't share such rarefied taste in music isn't at all an insult.

Basically what your back door insult sounds like is this: Hillary supporters are old fuddy diddies whose tastes peaked with Kay Starr. And now you're trying to wiggle out of the insult.

The fuddy-duddy part is at least correct, since a majority of her voter base is either retired or nearing retirement age.

So everyone over the age of 29 is retired or nearing retirement age? Because the only age group Bernie won in NY was 18-29.

Facts. They matter.

Spin on your part.

Fact: Around 60% of Hillary's votes came from people 50 years old and older.

Because people over 45 were more likely to vote, friend. It's not spin. It's data.

Bernie is yesterday's news now. He is as irrelevant as Martin O'Malley.

I know several people (three, they worked in different capacities and do not know each other) who worked in the Clinton White House and they said Bill was charming but could have a temper and Hillary was terrific. One was so impressed with Hillary she predicted Hillary would be president one day.

I know someone who was on Joe Biden's staff and he was ice cold with her. They just didn't click.

What does this mean? Not much. I think trying to suss out a person's reputation by association is an exercise in futility.

Seems like some folks are pretty bummed about New York. Understandable, but let's keep our eyes on the prize here.

Actually, this is the only report I've seen of the opposite behavior...and it describes her behavior when she was FLOTUS. Not excusing it, but everything I've read or heard first hand about her Senate and SoS behavior is extremely positive.

I know a couple who know the Clintons well. Bill is charming. Hillary... not so much. This is just the reality. She is not a nice person but I would not care about her personality if I thought she would be a great president.

There is a reason that Secret Service agents assigned to HRC consider it “punishment duty.”

Hello, boots-on-the-ground poster.
