    ETHER @ Bernie Sanders

    Yo you keep saying this bruh but honestly Clinton just had too big of a lead

    Nobody really knew of Sanders until early this year...if his campaign gained steamed earlier, this a different race

    He didn't play his self, he just lost..he stayed true to his vision and his beliefs

    Bernie got a good amount of supporters who couldn't even vote for him with the closed primaries

    Too much explaining. Bolded the only key point that matters.

    It all came down to who had a better chance of winning the general election. Yeah folks liked what Bernie was saying, but they didn't have full confidence he could win. Despite how you feel about her, Hillary is the stronger candidate.

    B/c right now Trump is proving he's a force to be reckoned wit. That s*** alone is scary.

    This has been my exact point the entire race. Thank for for stating it eloquently. Good luck trying to explain principle and conviction to these people, it's clearly a foreign concept

    Lol that's what I'm saying, this looks beyond desperate and political pandering. Trump is still gonna win Indiana unless he says something REALLY ? up during the week. Plus some people already early voted.

    How far sanders came is pretty amazing actually. No one took him as a serious challenge to Hillary in the beginning.

    That "If Hillary was a man..." comment ain't gonna do s*** to him like these political analysis think. Trump has said far worse and folks are still voting for him.

    That's what Clinton supporters said in '08 "I'll never vote for Obama" then in November what happened? They voted for Obama

    Those Sanders supporters will come around and vote for Clinton

    Former House Speaker John Boehner on Ted Cruz:

    ""I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a b**** in my life."

    I never worked with Ted Cruz, but whenever I see him on TV I relate to those sentiments exactly. I don't care what anyone says, Ted Cruz is worse than Donald Trump. There's a reason Democrats would rather run against him than Trump.

    That's not how ? was selling it 20 pages ago. Yall even went as far as making avi bets that Sanders would win, scenarios of how and why Clinton would lose and more. These were titangraphs written too from yall. I could up the posts, ? actually pretty funny looking back LOLOLOL. Maybe you had a different view but the other 2 were ? caping for Sanders and couldn't admit the disadvantages or faults ? was hilarious LOLOLOLOLOL.

    Now they nowhere to be found they abandoned the thread quick !!!

    Woah woah woah ? . Nobody here challenged you to any AVI bets. You challenged us & we responded with, "I believe Hillary will win but I support my candidate and believes he has a chance so I'll accept."

    Couldn't admit the disadvantages? You're being completely full of ? and you know it. But I guess that explains your fierce defense of Hillary. Birds of a feather.

    Y'all were really distraught because people supported the other candidate. The only people in this entire thread that couldn't and wouldn't admit faults in their candidate were the Clinton supporters. And if faults were what was going to decide this race then Clinton would've been destroyed long ago because almost no one in the Democratic Party has more than her.

    There's 3 million registered independent voters in New York state, but they could not vote in the democratic NY primary.

    AND he called him Lucifer in the flesh. LOL!!

    I been told folks if Trump wasn't running, Cruz would be the most hated candidate in his party. Cruz done f***'d over a lot of members in his party. The establishment ones tho.

    But foh Boehner. Muthafucca talk all that blah blah NOW. Yet when he was speaker, he was Cruz's and the Tea Party's prison ? .
