That’s not what that means.

PUMA means “Party Unity My Ass !”

Check out the gloves on the deputies.

I would not want to touch Rat delegates either.

Have to agree with the Field Marshal on this one. PUMA was a common exclamation among Hillary supporters in ‘08 who were fed up with Bronco Bammy’s machinations against the Hildabeast.

(Nick Bernabe via ANTIMEDIA) Denver, CO — The 2016 election has been a wild ride, with two insurgent grassroots campaigns literally giving the political establishment a run for its money. But as the events of this presidential primary season play out, it’s becoming clear the U.S. election — and even more so, the presidential race — is a big scam being perpetrated on the American people.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

It is too late for Sanders to win

Good!

this will do nothing to help unify the democrats.

Good!...Why the hell would you want that?

Good!...Why the hell would you want that?

I don't.

PUMAs were irate not because Obama knocked her out in the primaries but that the superdelegates played games and handed him the win; he hadn’t earned it.
