Thanks KC. Without your shout I would have missed it.

“I’m having a hard time believing that this story is anything but fiction. I can’t imagine a Bernie supporter being this open minded to people who are not socialists.”

I have a nephew who is a Bernie supporter. He could have written this. He is a veteran, has worked hard and has a good income; but he has little discipline with money.

I suspect that he may end up voting for Trump. He knows Hillary is a crook.

I have thot all along that the plan was to: Make sure Hillary is nominated AND Bernie is out of the running; have Hilary step aside; and put JOE BIDEN in. Bernie’s high numbers will make this not work as smoothly as Obama had hoped. Should be an interesting convention.

I did not see the hate and discrimination that the media had led me to expect.

The rally began with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a rendition of the national anthem. Veterans and politicians took the stage, one after the other, to endorse Trump. It was very professional, organized, and nationalistic.

Look, the guy was a million times more open minded than most 'liberals'. AND HE WASN'T a thug... probably because he was a Sanders supporter... you've got to admit that's amazing.
