The Democratic National Convention isn’t over yet, but Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has already announced he’s out.
After months of dealing with rampant corruption within the Democratic Party, Sanders has announced he’s quitting the party and officially returning to his senate seat as an independent.
Bernie Sanders tells @bpolitics breakfast w/reporters he'll return to the Senate as an Independent, not a Dem: 'I was elected as an Ind.'
— Susan Page (@SusanPage) July 26, 2016
“I’ll stay two years more an an independent,” Sanders told reporters.
While it’s no surprise to political observers that Sanders is leaving the party after his reported mistreatment, the timing of his announcement is strange.
And it’s unlikely his departure from the Democratic Party will be their only loss, either.
Tensions between pro-Sanders activists and the establishment brass set to crown Clinton as the party nominee have erupted into protests and led to dozens of arrests throughout city of Philadelphia as the convention enters its final day Thursday.
Even leftist celebrity activists are expressing their outrage. Susan Sarandon, Danny Glover, Shailene Woodley and Rosario Dawson joined forces as night fell to protest what they consider slights against loyalists of Sanders.
Sarandon said convention organizers scuttled planned remarks from prominent Sanders surrogate Nina Turner, a former Ohio state senator, at the convention on Tuesday night.
“There’s been a lot of difficulty in executing the will of Bernie Sanders’ people and surrogates, and this was just a topping for the whole thing because she was ready to go. And she was very, very disappointed,” Sarandon said as the other celebrities joined her on a platform. “This has not gone by lightly, and … we are upset.”
Late Wednesday, hundreds of protesters gathered outside the convention site as Vice President Joe Biden, vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine and President Barack Obama spoke inside. At one point a protester’s clothes caught on fire while trying to stomp out the flames on a burning flag. The protester dropped to the ground and rolled around to put the fire out. Another tense moment arose when protesters knocked over part of a security fence, but police quickly moved in and put the fence back up. The Secret Service said seven people were arrested and will be charged with entering a restricted area.
Earlier in the day, half a dozen Sanders delegates spoke to about 300 demonstrators gathered at a plaza near City Hall, about 4 miles from the convention site, for rallies and speeches.
Erika Onsrud, an at-large delegate from Minnesota, told the people in the crowd that they need to continue to fight. Amid cheers, she exhorted them: “Stay awake!”
A few blocks away, police detained 10 protesters at Comcast’s corporate headquarters for holding a sit-in accusing the cable TV giant and NBC owner of not reporting the truth. The demonstrators locked themselves with zip-ties to a rolling gate inside the building. Officers briefly closed the 975-foot-tall skyscraper to all but Comcast employees.
Another group of about a dozen anti-Israel demonstrators protested at a hotel where a number of delegations to the four-day convention were staying. They called for a free Palestine.
Thousands of activists have taken to the streets during the convention to voice support for Sanders and his liberal agenda. On Tuesday night, the Bernie or Bust brigades watched in dismay as Clinton became the first woman nominated for president by a major U.S. political party — and many have vowed to quit the party as a result.

According to The Associated Press, the longstanding bitterness between Sanders’ supporters and Clinton’s seemed to grow worse over the past few days after a trove of hacked emails showed that officials at the Democratic National Committee played favorites during the primaries and sought to undermine Sanders’ campaign.
Before leaving the party, Sanders on Monday criticized Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and urged supporters to fall in line behind Clinton for the good of the country.
But many were unmoved.
Jennifer Hall flew into Philadelphia from California and said her fellow Sanders supporters seemed tired. She said she came to “comfort the heartbroken, mourn with the mourners and help sustain the effort” fighting against two-party politics.
“We can all cry and keep going,” she said.
Main Street says
He is a phony also. However he was cheated out of the nomination. He is correct that the system is rigged. Wasserman-Schultz made sure that Hillary got the super delegates.
Sheila says
Main Street: Do U ever sleep? Ur two-cents r always first on these blogs. Need to get a life?
Try it . . U might like it!????
Main Street says
@ Sheila: I comment daily because this is a comment section. I even see your comments on here too. Nothing wrong with that. I comment in the 10:00-10:30 am time period. That is late morning. Long after sleep time. I have a great life. I enjoy commenting on current affairs. Also, I don’t think that a wealthy elderly joker from Brooklyn calling himself a socialist is the answer.
Gary says
Boy I am glad people are actively taking part in the discussions.
I’ve been called a lot of names because I quit the dems and went over to Trump. Why? because of all the scandals. Abuseive audits by IRS. President Obama’s divisive positions, Clinton’s baggage and arrogance. Even the violations of the canoins of ethics by Justice Ginsberg.
This has to stop. If we want a Constitution that will work for future generations, we need to end this overt abusive government corruption. Every day someone in the administration or aligned with the DNC is caught in a LIE. It’s Lie after Lie.
I hope I am more honest than to keep backing dishonest people. I am sick inside watching them lie to us over and over. I am sick when I see the proof of it. Rather than stand aside entirely, as a veteran, I took an oath of allegiance to defend this country and our Constitution against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. I did make that promise seriously for all my life. Today, it seems the Dems have attacked the Constitution from many sides, and that frightened me away.
John neimeier says
You are so right . The Democratic Party is set on tearing us apart rather than joining forces to make AMERICA a better place to live. Racism was just about gone when Obama took office so look at it now. Shameful. Trump has said the system was rigged all along & people thought he was crazy. What do you think now? God bless America & I hope we cam be united again.
Dawg# says
Gary:
It is so refreshing to read your comments. I was beginning to think that the whole Country was going crazy but, you have proved to me that there is still some intelligent life left down here in the Democratic Party. Even though you are going to vote for trump (very good thinking), I hope you will remain a Democrat, you may be able to educate others in the Party……. Beam Me Up Scotty!
Conn says
Gary you are for Trump and talking about ethics and our constitution. Seriously
S strand says
The sorry excuse of the Media, enjoys distorting Donald Trumps words, just as they did, Ben Carsons. There seemingly, is nothing left of the Democrat Party. It may have died, with Robert Kennedy. Anyways this Independent is also going to vote for Donald Trump. After decades of living, and watching the now quick decent of our Country into an abyss of decay, I have faith he is in the best interest and recovery to whats left of the United States, of America.
Jason says
I appreciate your comments and your service
Chief Clark says
Unfortunately, Trump in not the answer. Trump is only interested in his self. He is a con man, a pathological liar, suffering with extreme narcissistic syndrome. He has demonstrated that he is xenophobic, misogynistic, and a fascist and fascist. Do you really want some like him with the capability to start a nuclear wa?

Chief Clark:
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR GOURD? You describe exactly what the Democratic Party has become and try to apply the despicable concepts to Donald Trump! Your post is absolutely ludicrous my friend. Please don’t be offended with what I am saying. I mean no insult or injury to any person for we are all One Nation Under God, For The People and By The People, but the Democratic Party has become the Party of Satan, IMHO.
Jan says
Yes I agree with you. Too many lies etc. With Hillary.
Bosch says
There’s a reason the movie “Hillarys America” is the number one movie out right now. The corruption, lies, greed, brainwashing have gone on way too long. We needed someone with fortitude like Trump to step forward and get this country back to the values of the founding fathers.
ItsJo says
Gary, first off Thank You for your service, along with my husband’s “I thank you Both”….We have ALL seen what this Democrat Party has done AGAINST America and in particular, This Regime. They are So Very Crooked it is not funny at All. The Constitution to them, is like ‘toilet paper” along with OUR Bill of Rights.”
It was pathetic to hear Michelle Obama at the DNC, talk about “America being Great…..I seem to Recall her saying when her husband came into the political arena:
“This is the First Time that I can feel Proud of America”
That is apparent, as ALL these “career politico(and I include Republicans in the Old Establishment and Rinos)
ONLY look out for themselves, as they permitted Obama to ‘succeed in his “Globalist/Elitists’ Agenda” to bring about ‘arrogant(his words) America’s DEMISE”
Since Evil Soros, OWNS the Dem Party, and he and the rest of the globalists want a “ONE WORLD ORDER” -we the people KNOW this, and to SAVE this Republic, WE are standing up to “D.C. as a Cesspool of Corruption” that
FORGOT it works FOR the people, NOT the other way round.
BTW: ALL of D.C. that is Corruption at it’s finest is like a SWAMP, that Needs to be Drained, and honestly, I DO feel, that Mr. Trump(who doesn’t NEED the job of POTUS
knew this Republic was in Danger of being reduced to a 3rd world nation, that Obama Wants to make answerable to the Crooked U.N. and International Law-
I pray to GOD, that Trump succeeds, in overcoming the crooked smears, lies, and agenda that the Dems AND the Liberal Media have thrown at him, AND those among the RINO’s/Old Establishment…they IGNORE WE the voters, as WE have chosen a “Non-Career Politician, who
HAS HEARD OUR VOICES.”
James says
you watch- if killery gets in– the supreme court will have a mus,slime judge (THE ONE OBUMMER JUST SWORE IN WITH THE CORRAN IN HER HAND) and there will goes your Constitution.and you will have sherea law

Jan C says
Rodney, I guess you are trying to be politically correct, huh?
Dawg# says
Good post and reply Main Street. I’m with you on all points.
janet says
It feels a little absurd being criticized by a texting freak, doesn’t it? It’s like being called out by a five year old.
Pretty silly, actually, and I’m sure the effect isn’t intended LOL!
Jan says
Yes
Ken says
Do you actually have a valid point to your remarks??? What Main Street just noted appears very true.. Bernie would appear to be at least somewhat of a fake if he would still endorse someone like the most crooked woman to walk on the planet… You can’t even say that it wasn’t Hillary’s idea, she hired Schultz right after she resigned from the DNC… Wait till people see some more of the truth on Hillary, it’s coming soon…
And, how many people know their history? There was another woman in 1872 by the name of Victoria Claflin Woodhull that had run for president of the United States…. Just another lie to push the wicked witch into the White House to continue us down the road of demise…. WWIII etc…
DNC=KKK
Connie Condra says
Who nominated Ms. Woodhull. I think the point the DNC is trying to make, albeit a lame one, is that it the first “major” political party to nominate a woman. Too bad the Dems had to lie, cheat, and steal to do it. But, THAT is what they do best, isn’t it.
Merrill Henderson says
Since when is the DNC the last word on what is a major political party? By today’s standards the Whigs, Progressive’s, No-Nothing’s, and quite a few others wouldn’t be classified as major parties, but in their day they were just as important as a Republican or Democrat.
Linda says
ANYONE WHO WANT’S TO READ THIS? IT seems to me if Bernie Sanders followers were at more of the CLINTON RALLY’s DISTURBING! instead of TRUMP’S RALLY’S DISTURBING They would of had a better chance of winning the nomination. I heard her (crooked HILL) say that was terrible what’s happening at the Trump rally’s so much rage. and all along she knew and the DNC KNEW BERNIE NEVER HAD A CHANCE BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT HIM TO WIN. That Is The DEMOCRATIC WAY TO WIN. VOTE TRUMP 2016!
Jeane Green says
Killary’s eyes started to show the evil tonight…no longer the charming smile, just hard cold look. No way she should be a president, if she cannot be trusted with national security information. She needs to loose her security clearance.
Robert Struck says
If anyone here has not yet seen “Hillary’s America”, put it on your to-do list. It not only exposes Hillary’s corruption for many years, but also the corruption and lies in the Democrat party going way back…
Raymond says
I am not happy with what the party has done, but I just can’t go and vote, for a man that will take the United States of America down with him, we have to be careful with this. Beleave me Trump is for Trump, not for USA.
DustyFae says
May be they go to bed early and up early . There are some People still have some common sense , And l like that .. l do not care how early they rise as long as someone is helping report what is happening and their opinion. My opinion sometimes have been changed on many of these commenters .
James says
My comment is directed at Sheila.
Nancy says
I agree with you. Its all about Bernie — he stands for nothing, except his socialist views, and blows with the wind, when it suits his fancy. He was cheated, but so what. He went into it with his eyes open. I mean, really, Hillary’s and Bill’s politics are not new to Bernie. He’s as phony as they are. And intended to give away the world on the back of the working class.
Shirley King says
Amen !!!!! Sanders is and always has been a socialist. Anyone that follows politics should know that. He only did the independent thing because he knew putting socialist on there, he would never get elected to anything !! Although today it may be different, seems the young are more socialist than anything. I don’t care that much about Trump, although I do like some things he stands for. The only problem is, WILL he do what he says he will do ?…. But, that’s a chance I am willing to make, because Hillary has proven over and over for the last 30 years or so, while in office, that she doesn’t do anything but lie, make herself rich, and seek power. She is evil as hell as far as I am concerned, and I truly believe she is behind many many deaths that are named in her ” body count ” list . I put nothing past the Clintons…. but this is just my opinion
Deb says
I agree! I worked with Sanders in VT for many years while he was the mayor…during the time he spent time with Castro… if anyone would have been worse than Clinton it would have been Bernie… we need someone outside the elite inside! It certainly wasn’t Bernie and it certainly isn’t Clinton!
JINH says
Wondering why he even spoke at the DNC asking his followers to “unite”. I would have gone into a violent coughing spell trying to say her name. Could Hussein Ocrap have something to do with it? Was Bernie promised a prominent position if Hildebeast is elected? Bernie could have refused to speak at the DNC. Trump didn’t say anything derogatory about Bernie in his acceptance speech. Trump was, in fact, sympathetic. Bernie should do the same and tell his supporters to follow Trump. This evil Clinton train is old. What happened to Bernie is just another seed of evil and if she’s elected, of destructive times to come.
Vincent says
Regardless of what anyone thinks of Bernie
Sanders liberal agenda, he was the only one in the Democratic Party with a shred of decency and credibility. The fact that he QUIT the Democratic Party and WON’T endorse Hillary,
Speaks volumes. And in this case with a Bull Horn, with a resounding
Refusal!!!
Roberson says
Bernie has endorsed Hillary Clinton. Where have you been??
Jeane Green says
One may wonder if they threatened him …that would not be the first time something like that happened.

diana brown says
“Before leaving the party, Sanders on Monday criticized Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and urged supporters to fall in line behind Clinton for the good of the country.
But many were unmoved.”
Me too- I am unmoved, big time unmoved. Makes a great case for third party candidate to become the President of the United States and to send both the Democrats as well as Republicans a new message – one direclt from the people. Join me in that effort, PLEASE.
D. S. says
I believe the two party system has become corrupt, maybe it always was. I have tried third party in the past and always lost. I voted as an Independent for years but in my state could not vote in the primaries. I got sick of not having a chance to choose who I could vote for in the general. I went back to Republican two years ago because I am mostly Conservative. Unfortunately I am working class who put myself through college so I lean toward the working person. Neither party really thrills me, the democrats are basically communists and America haters, the Republicans listen only to the business class and support communists (China) and the one world.
If Trump gets elected it would send a message to the Republicans, Democrats, and I think he does love this Country. Most politicians are interested in keeping their gravy train going.
ItsJo says
Agree with you D.S. I too, believe that Donald Trump DOES love this Republic, and he saw, that WE are in Danger of losing our nation, with the “No Borders crowd of Dems/and Rino’s of the GOP” who Want to bring in foreigner workers to take OVER American workers jobs”…….That, btw, is WHY Rubio who voted in secret for H1B, LOST. He got big bucks FROM Big Business for “selling out his vote for Americans” and likewise, BB, Gave John McCain over $100,000 to SELL OUT AMERICAN WORKERS.
IF anyone has Any doubts about the “corrupt, criminally involved Hillary(and Bill) you ALL need to see the film that IS telling you the truth: “Hillary’s America” and I’d also suggest seeing “Clinton Cash” that is free online @

ron says
I feel sorry for Bernie. He’s. A dumb ass!! He was conned by the Clintons. All he had to do is hit her on her emails and server, and he would be running against Trump!!!! What a dumb old bastard!!!!
Jeane Green says
Well, is it something – after conspiring to defraud Sanders of his possible nomination , the lame stream media seem to be excited that the corrupt DNC appointed a first female presidential. nominee. A big f…ng deal. I am a woman, and having a woman in that position by a blatant election fraud does not make me proud.
When the emails got leaked, the coward DNC quacked “It had to be the aliens, or Putin, or Trump.” Bogus !
How about someone within the party who actually had some honesty left, and could no longer witness this ?
There is a film footage from Nevada voter registration. Hilary’s team is caught on someone’s phone , when they were only registering those who stated they would vote for Hilary.
Their conversation clearly indicated they knew that was ILLEGAL , but they did not care. Fraud, or not, they were going for it.
John Denney says
I think Bernie should run as an independent or his supporters should write him in!
Christine says
Agreed!
Anthony says
yes then she was dumped, by the person that some feel she should be the President, that’s a koke
Susan says
“He is a phony also” ??
What absolute bullsh*t! Know of what you speak before banging on your keyboard. You’ll look much less foolish in the end.
Mary Ann says
Bernie is a total phony! He, himself said he wasn’t a Democrat, but an Independent! LIke a child, if some don’t get their way, they just ”quit””!!! lol Look what Hilliary has been through…has she quit??? Trump is so “not mentally stable”, as he has never made any good ideas, ventures, everything was always done for him. If it wasn’t for the ones he took advantage of he wouldn’t have any money at all, only what his parents left him.
Genesio Paciocco says
Bernie Sanders had my vote but now we have no choice but vote for Democrat Hilary Clinton you do not want right wing anti labor anti community anti poor what Donald Trump is about keep his rich friends rich and lose 3 million jobs on top of that So I ask all Sanders support do not let me say it again do not support Trump because his politics is altra riight wing Corporate pigs VOTE Democratic Hilary Rodham Clinton for President
Steve says
I am afraid that the Dems have shot themselves in the foot, by nominated that woman when the polls have shown Sanders having a much better chance of stopping Trump. Now, thanks to their corruption, Trump could win this oncoming election.
Bob says
After last night Vice President Joe Biden did an outstanding job with his speech. I am voting for Trump but if Biden was running for President It would be a much harder decision to pick the right one. With Hillary running it was easy to pick Trump for the job.
Jeanne Marks says
Good decision!
lulu says
I agree emphatically!!!
Don says
Absolutely agree about Biden. He would have been my choice had he ran. I’m going with Stein or just about anyone but Clinton. Trump scares me a bit but I don’t always know what to make of him. He cannot be the disjointed jerk the meda protrays him to be. Clinton scares the bejesus out of me.
Nancy says
Trump’s the only adult in the room. We need him……………..
Randy says
Google “Joe Biden + Stroke.” You might see things differently. There was a great article in Forbes outlining some of Joe’s stranger comments, questioning if they were the result of his mediacl issues.
sharon says
Don:You are going with Stein?? Boy you are just as blind and corrupted as Hillary. so you want communism?? If you still question Trump and don’t know what to think of him you obiviously haven’t researched him enough and watched his rallies enough to clearly see who he really is!1 Are you listening to MSM lies! Some of Trump’s videos back in the 1980’s are still the same things he is saying today. he has been voting republician since 1987!! So you want to vote for Jill Stein!! Boy there are still a lot of amercians who just don’t get it and are stupid!!
law5960 says
Don, I have been saying for months that this is the election when everybody should be voting for a third party. I have some disagreements with Stein on some issues, but she would be a better choice than we are being given by the major parties. I won’t mention the problems with Hillary because it would probably set off a riot by her many supporters who have commented here. [That was meant to be sarcastic, though I am afraid some of you would be unable to tell]. As for the sheep who following Lyin’ Donnie, I think some will soon begin to see that rather than being a good shepherd he is really Gordon Gekko studying the futures on mutton and lamb chops.
HOLGER L. BRENCHER says
As a retired Army Colonel, I recognize leadership. Donald Trump is the only candidate with a proven record of success in the REAL world! Now more than ever we need a LEADER not a LIAR to lead us ALL and the the UNITED STATES back to GREATNESS.
Merrill Henderson says
As the one Bernie protestor outside the arena stated (paraphrasing here a bit), “We are all scared about what Trump “might” do, while our own party is doing it to us now”.
ItsJo says
The ONLY reason Trump scares you, is because the corrupt Dem Party and their OTHER ARM of that Party-The Liberal/Leftist Media have been Pushing the Smears Against Trump, when in fact….he is the ONLY one, who Called many of the things BEFORE they happened-such as the ISIS Terrorist Attacks all over, while Obama/Hillary etal. are “Playing it down, as THEY empowered ISIS, and Ignore that Americans ARE in danger of ISIS as they also like IRAN(after Obama gave them carte blanche to complete their nuclear weaponry) “DEATH TO AMERICA”
btw: When Trump was being sarcastic, and said perhaps Russia can make the 30,000 Hillary emails PUBLIC, the Leftist Media FOR Hillary and Her today, are calling him Treasonous….laughable, but Expected from Hillary, etal.
if you want to KNOW the Real Hillary(and Bill) I suggest you see the free film: “Clinton Cash”
and I also saw: “Hillary’s America” at the theater, and it will OPEN everyone’s eyes to What the Clinton’s ARE.
ees says
I will be voting for Trump. Hillary rigged the system against Bernie. I may write in Bernie instead of voting for Trump. I would never vote for this lieing woman. Bernie was truthful in every thing he said and he did not jump on Hillary for her email disaster. He should have and probably still would have lost. Many states gave Bernie more votes and Hillary got the deligates. That had to be rigged.
Sheila says
Write-in Bernie!
I urge ALL to do this. . .
Cliff says
Bernie is not a honest shooter and no spine! Now he going back to being a independent so he can keep his job for now ! Maybe real Vermonters will throw his ass out, After giving all the hard work and money to Slick ClintonS! Bernie you have no balls !!!
Nancy says
He never had any. That’s the point. I’m even wondering if he ever intended to beat Hillary. I mean, maybe it was all a joke, just to keep the Republican’s out.
Dray says
To write- in Bernie, You may as well had voted for Hillary!!! Is she who you want to represent the United States?
ItsJo says
Suggest you see the Free Film “Clinton Cash” @
http://www.breitbart.com/clin..
Also, see “Hillary’s America” at the theater, that IS breaking all documentary records, and BOTH these films ARE TRUE
I WOULD HOPE THAT EACH & EVERY AMERICAN WOULD SEE BOTH THESE FILMS, THEN COME TO YOUR CONCLUSIONS OF CORRUPTION IN D.C. AND WHY POLITICOS ARE LIKE A CESSPOOL OF CORRUPTION IN D.C. THANK YOU POSTERS….
lulu says
Don’t waste your vote – you are only helping HER.
Edward & Robin says
And just exactly will that accomplish? Outside of just wasting your vote on a “sellout artist” who turned his back on all of his supporters to fall in line like the puppet he is! A vote for Bernie is wasting your vote. But I am sure that snowflakes like you still don’t get it!
John says
If you write in Bernie you are giving Hillary another vote for Bernie will not have enough votes to beat Hilliary but Trump will if you do not write it in if you are voting for Trump. What we need are the democrats who are voting for Hillary to write in Bernie so Hillary gets less votes.
Constitutionalist says
Sheila-
Here’s the thing, you see.
Unless Bernie is on the ballot – and he won’t be; dems have coronated The Liar, and it’s FAR too late for him to be qualified as an independent AND collect enough votes for States to include him on their balloting – “write-in” votes will simply – and immediately – be shitcanned.
You may as well vote for Mickey Mouse or Attila the Hun or Zbigniew Brzinski. Won’t count.
So encouraging people to waste their time driving to a polling station, looking for parking, walking to wait in line for hours, then “voting,” either for someone fictional, historical, or ALSO not on the ballot – will be quite akin to pounding sand in a rathole.
Besides, you may have forgotten that the Electoral College voters are the only ones whose votes count in electing a president; popular vote tallies – no matter how overwhelming – can be ignored.
Dawg# says
Constitutionalist: popular vote tallies – no matter how overwhelming – can be ignored.
UNFORTUNATELY VERY TRUE!
Amy Jean says
A write-in vote is wasted. It serves no purpose. Vote Trump. Otherwise you are leaving Hillary to pick the Supreme Court justices.
Sheila says
Write-inBernie!
I urge all to do so!!!
Main Street says
Sheila is right. A socialist millionaire will solve our problems. I wonder why such a socialistic millionaire in tune with the oppressed folks lives in 98% White Vermont?
Justin says
Bernie isnt a millionaire. Just saying. HE fought a good fight and he started something. He deserves some time to spend with his family.
Gayle says
If you write in Berney, Hillary will still get the votes because he endorsered her an stood behind her so she will get the votes. I am voteing Trump to be sure an keep her out of the White House!!!
James W Duff says
By writing in Bernie Sanders name, you will be helping this scum of a woman win the election. I am anything but thrilled with Donald Trump, but against Hillary, it is not a hard decision. I will vote for Donald Trump.
ItsJo says
Good post, and at least Trump(who doesn’t NEED the job, knows that America is in Deep Trouble of being reduced to a 3rd world nation, with NO Borders, as the Dem/Elitists/Globalists Want a “One World Order” wherein America is answerable to the Crooked U.N. & International Law(that Obama has Already put in place, with Hillary’s consent) She would be his ‘3rd Term’…
Trump Loves America, and he sees, that voters in the middle class have Been Ignored by Both Parties, and THAT, is why he is resonating with WE THE PEOPLE.
Suggest ALL Posters see the free film online: “Clinton Cash” @
http://www.breitbart.com/clin…
also, in theaters: “Hillary’s America” which WILL open your eyes and minds’ to What Happened to our Republic. Thanks
sharon says
ees: Yes he didn’t call out Hillary for her email scandal!! That just shows you Bernie is a phony!! He is agreeing with the corruption!! Don’t you people get it!!! WAKE UP!! DONALD TRUMP IS THE ONLY ONE CALLING OUT THE CORRUPTION YOU STUPID PEOPLE!!!
Dawg# says
Calling people “stupid” is not a very eloquent way to win votes, but I do agree with your sentiments; i.e., why do people want to be enslaved to a Communist regime promoted by most Democrat’s.
chuck says
you know if you write in bernie, it’s same as voting for the killary. so please rethink…
Anthony says
you bet it was rigged, Hillary can never be the President on the USA, this is a job that requires a commander that knows how to navigate, she did a lousy job as Secretary of State, never mind President, no she needs to purchase a couple of rubber duckies and practice a lot in the bath tub first.
Monte says
Joe Biden delivered one of his typical lackluster speeches. He’s very much part of the ‘has been’ establishment. He lights a fire under few.
El Tejas says
Does anyone even listen to anything Joe “foot-in-the -mouth” Biden says?
don211 says
You will be voting for Putin’s candidate. SHAME!
Jesse says
Putin doesn’t want to work with Hitler-y. Neither does the C.I.A. and the F.B.I. Trump is for the Veterans, the Senior citizens , coal miners, 2nd amendments rights, and for Security for this country and fair trade. The DNC’s racism chant is a ” red herring” Trump doesn’t pander to blacks but does want justice for them and the police. Don’t buy into the LIE.
Donald McGowan says
Trump is not Putin’s man, he simply said that of the two Killary was the war hawk.
Robert Govin says
Another idiot advocating that we give the presidency to a person that has
Made a complete disaster of our foreign policy ! Has he and his fellow
cohorts have a clue what has been the the result of this administration
policies the past 7 plus years both demesticaly and FOREIGN POLICY!
Dennis Woodhull, Sr. says
Old uncle Joe is about the most useless VP ever elected !!
don211 says
That is a ridicules statement
Ray Ridgeway says
Biden did well considering he’s not very sharp I.Q wise. He’s a fading remnant from the OLD way
politics worked & doesn’t have a clue. I give him benefit as he lost a son & doubtless has fully overcome that as much as hopefully he can in time.
Having done Hospice I saw so many Dementia pts. & Bill Clinton has multiple signs of early on-set Dementia. His eyes appea grayish & he stares off at nothing often when the camera zooms in on him.
I couldn’t help but wonder how all his MULTIPLE LOVERS over the years were vomiting when he talked so lovingly of his “PRECIOUS WIFE.” He’s humiliated her time & again & if she could make wise decisions she would have divorced his sorry ass years ago—–but then that wouldn’t have been politically expedient come to think about it. Two jerks who deserve each other—just Pray we don’t get her as our Jerk of a President.
Tho not particularly ape @ Trump–I will vote for him & I believe he will do some things that must be domn if our great Nation is to survive.
bking says
So agree! I had been a democrat for decades but left the Dems a few months ago realizing the corruption of the “coronation” process. NEVER KilLIARY!!!! Never! Will be either writing Sanders in or supporting Jill Stein.
Wish Bernie would have joined her or run third party.
Randy says
You need to do some research on Joe. Interesting character and very good speaker, BUT… this is an excerpt from a Forbes article…He claimed in 1987 that he ”went to law school on a full academic scholarship — the only one in my class to have a full academic scholarship,” and that he ”ended up in the top half” of his class. He also said that in college he was ”the outstanding student in the political science department” and ”graduated with three degrees.”
However, after inaccuracies in his statements were exposed, Biden made this admission on September 22, 1987: ”I did not graduate in the top half of my class at law school and my recollection of this was inaccurate.” He had actually graduated 76th in a class of 85 from the Syracuse College of Law. And Biden’s baccalaureate accomplishment was a single B.A. degree.
There were numerous other fabricated stories. Apparently he’s had some medical procedures on his brain that might explain his strange behavior. Google “Joe Biden + Stroke.”
It’s kind of scary.
KATHY says
I FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME WAY.
Chuck says
Really? I just watched his speech replayed. It’s him who doesn’t have a clue. He knows nothing about Trump. He’s just spewing out the party line. Yes, he’s empassioned and emphatic, but it’s only due to ignorance. I don’t know if he’s actually capable of understanding. He’s the perfect example of mindless brainwashing.
Rosech says
Bernie’s followers are now learning some hard truths! and about time they do. The DNC is and has always been crooked and only look to where they can benefit whether it be in an election, Congress, WH or anywhere else where they can get money and supposed power. Well, perhaps these crazy followers will change parties and vote for Trump. He won’t give them anything without their earning it, but they will have freedom and a future, whereas under the DNC and Shillary ain’t gonna happen.
Eileen Cartwright says
I grew up in Western PA in the 40s and 50s. Then it was dems, unions, mob. The Dems were crooks and proud of it. Nothing has changed except the unions lost a lot of power.
Christopher S. O'Rourke says
Roes have your are right in your comment. My vote in November is for the Trump-Pence ticket. Donald J. Trump is telling it like it is, we know where he is coming from, we know what we can expect from him, he is an open book for all to see and has nothing to hide. Hitlery Killery ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton we know is a liar, a cheat, a thief, rude, snotty,bossy,pushy,disrespectful,evil,venal,wicked,crooked,corrupt,greedy,selfish,power hungry,arrogant,mean,had the primaries fixed & rigged in her favor, her husband former Figurehead Sleazeball,draft dodger, POS,white trash Bill Clinton did the same thing in 1992. I quit being a Democrat because of the damned POS white trash Clinton’s. The Democratic Party became the Clintoncratic party in 1992 when the Clinton’s stole & hijacked what used to be the Democratic Party which today is the Demoncratic party. Bernie Sanders did the right thing
He went back to being Independent, his supporters all went and/or will go to Donald J. Trump-Republican, Gary Johnson-Libertarian, Jill Stein-Green & Darrell Cassell-Constitution, some will write him in. There true & real winners are the Republican, Libertarian, Green & Constitution parties, the true & real loser is the Demoncratic party-loss of members & loss of voters. TRUMP-PENCE ALL THE WAY!!!!
lulu says
I couldn’t agree more. If we put the DNC back in power we deserve the lies and corruption we will get. We either take a chance and get the corruption under control, which I think Trump can do with the RNC, or we watch the country continue to be mired in coverups, deception and lies.
John says
We now need Bernie to change his backing and back Trump and tell Hillary good by
John says
If the democrats write in Bernie on the Democrat ticket maybe they will realize the big mistake they did by rigging the system
Bernie says
That would be a beautiful change. I watched & listened to all what was said about Hillary. Even when she was talking, all I heard was lies There are to many facts about her lies & deception to get away with it.
All those who promoted her will pay for it. They think heaven is on earth but the real Ruler is watching them all the time. Judgement day is coming, it wont be so funny now.
Bob says
Go Trump.
Dan says
Bernie please run as a 4th party…please!….please!
Steve says
Run 3rd party Bernie!
Mathew Molk says
Go have a party, and then get the hell off the stage- Bernie is D-O-N-E
Derek Schulz says
That will only make sure that Clinton gets the WH. Your vote is the last line of defense that we have left. Trump is fighting to give a voice back to the people and hold government accountable. He shows this by not cutting social programs but will try and find ways to pay for the programs that the government has passed and promised the people.
TruthSeeker says
Agree! Vote Trump!
Jack Mason says
Bernie Sanders is a Socialist and should have run on the American Communist Party ticket. Why is this so hard to understand by the DNC?
don211 says
Socialism and Communism are not the same thing. Get educated
Connie Condra says
There is not THAT much difference between socialists and communists. They both espouse the rule of the state over the individual.
Constitutionalist says
don211-
There has never been a communist government on the planet. NONE have made the transition from Socialism to Communism. Why don’t YOU get “educated”? Here’s a clue-by-four: “Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics.”
Dawg# says
Constitutionalist:
Thanks for the reminder, you are correct. Socialism is an economic system and Communism is a political system.
Dawg# says
Forgot to mention, both Socialism and Communism usually go hand in hand; sort of like Liberals and Democrats, lol. Notwithstanding, none of them are very far from being a Dictatorship.
Connie Condra says
Because the Democratic Party IS the new American Communist Party. It just hasn’t gotten around to changing its name yet.
Joe LeBlanc says
I thought the ole man had balls. He does not. Tell it like it is Bernie and stop the coward’s way out. The Dems fucked you. The GOP tried to fuck Trump and he was fast to tell them so , so why not you?
john G. says
While I could never vote for Bernie or any of his positions (something for nothing) I do respect his willingness to stand up to the corrupt Democratic party and hopefully his move and those of his legions will have a very negative impact on the Democrats and help Trump in the Nov. election.
Connie Condra says
But he is still calling on his supporters to vote for the Hildabeast. He is supporting the very corruption he is decrying.
Edward says
Run Hillary out of the country, then get elected or join Trump to make America great again!
john weaver says
Hiliary and he sleazy Dems , what a team. 3rd country politics
Joseph Hollo says
Put her in jail. Vote for Trump and make America Great Again.
Martha says
Trump tells it like it is. That’s why the DNC is afraid he get the white House. I am voting for him. It’s time to shake the system up and rock the boat! It’s time to put a business man in the WH!
Christopher S. O'Rourke says
The Demoncrats just lost a lot of their members because of the party is owned by the damned POS white trash Clinton’s & all of their corruption and all
of the evil they do and will continue to do. Wake up everyone, vote for the TRUMP-PENCE ticket, the Clinton-Kaine ticket is total destruction of the country, entire Western Hemisphers & the entire free world. The Clinton-Kaine ticket is anti Israeli, anti jobs in our country, anti strong national defense,
anti education, anti veterans, anti senior citizens, are pro selfs, pro crime, pro poverty, and worst of all pro NWO which add it all up is pro disaster. My vote in November is for the TRUMP-PENCE ticket, TRUMP-PENCE ALL THE WAY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Save the country, vote for the TRUMP-PENCE TICKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ed says
The Democrates talk a very good talk, refined and politically correct while at the same time picking your pocket and smiling while they lie. If they did half of what they promised the country would not be in the situation it is. The world would be a much safer and better place. Wake up people, look at the lies. The Democrats were in Flint Michigan a half year ago and did nothing for the poor people there. Now she wants their vote and to make a show so she puts children and mother on stage. Really? You think people are that stupid.
Connie Condra says
I will gladly vote for the Hildabeast–20-to-life in Leavenworth–in solitary. Or, better yet, build a new wing: a family unit for the Clintons and another for the Obamas.
Gram says
Maybe with this happening to the DNC, Trump will become President. That is if Dumbo will not cancel elections; of course the elections are all to be controlled by individual states, not the government in DC. The best that can be done is to built a wall on the southern border as well as a wall around DC. Put all the Rapeugees and illegals within that wall around DC. Only one doorway out, and that would be on Rhode Island Avenue/Rt.1 North. Pay $5. per person to leave that area and that only provides 24 hour pass. If that pass is not returned within that 24 hour period, issue a warrant for every person that was listed on that pass. You might think that is cruel and mean, but at least you would be able to control all those living in that particular area within the Wall. If nobody has never been in DC, I don’t think you are missing anything. It is a dirty, nasty city to live in.
Terry says
Amending the Constitution is also a legislative process involving the states.approval. EOs and SC fiats are not legitimate ways to amend or add to or take away from the Constitution. So far i have not heard any complaint or see any law suit protesting such blatant actions by any elected/appointed official. Is this because the fed govt’s operating system is now PC instead of the Constitution? You would think that in DC, the most infested city in the universe with lawyers, some lawyer would stand up and be counted as a patriot instead of just being a party hack?
Proud Democrat says
If you think Trump will make things great again, I have a bridge I want to sell you. He does not care about you or America. All he cares about is his money and his big ego. If You were a Bernie Supporter and can’t vote for Hillary, don’t give your vote to Trump he will ruin America.
lulu says
They sure have you brainwashed…….
Edward & Robin says
And just what will Hillary do? Are you that delusional that you think she is for anyone but herself and slick Willie? Give us a break. Trump isn’t even accepting a salary. Funny, with all of the illegal Millions of Dollars that the Clinton’s have scammed through their foundation, I don’t hear Hillary saying that she won’t accept a pay check for doing it. The reason is that she is all about the money.
Connie Condra says
She is just for herself. Even Slick Willy doesn’t rate except for what he can do for her.
Joan Haman says
B O Has done so much for us?He thinks H C is the best thing next to him. May God help us!
Connie Condra says
Ah, another kool-ade junkie.
A.W. says
AND HOW HAS YOUR LIFE IMPROVED IN THE LAST 8 YEARS?
Mary Ann says
AMEN and AMEN!!!
alberto gomez says
This talk about qualifications for president is so trivial!! what made Obama be qualified? what makes Hillary qualified? They have created nothing, they never ran a business, they never paid business taxes, they never negotiated anything but made be a house or a car. they have traveled the world on tax payer vehicles and stayed in hotels paid by tax payers money, they never negotiated anything advantageous for America; what makes either one qualified. The only one who has done all of these on his own dime and has invested his money in more countries than what Hillary and Obama have visited is Donald Trump.
John says
All politicians should pay half that is 50 percent of their bills for food and rooms for their jobs were set up to be short term to help make and keep American Great but all they do is travel and eat on the taxpayers dollar. If they did this they would think twice about running for office and o yea take away the vehicles and pensions for they are not in a job, they are mostly lawyers looking for more and more money like the Clintons and Obo
Connie Condra says
Obama WASN’T qualified. He was a do-nothing state legislator. He was a do-nothing US senator. And he has been Satan’s pawn in the presidency. Clinton’s only qualification for president, and it is a feeble one at best, is that she is a woman. But, I suspect that classification is questionable.
The Texan says
It is doubtful that the DNC will very much miss Sanders. But the may miss his supporters.
Pam says
I do feel badly that Sanders was so screwed over by the Democratic Party. But to turn around and support Killery is a weak thing to do. He should have had some balls and pounced on her. But it’s ok because it only confirms that Trump will not back down and will stand up and say what needs to be said. He has my vote for sure. Killery doesn’t intimidate him at all.
John says
He probably had to or else he would have to watch his back after that meeting with Obo
william woods says
I am voting for Trump because he is the best choice we have
Old1 says
Bernnie threw all his followers under the bus when he let clinton rig the vote against him then joined her. Even after his loyal supporters were kicked to the curb they still trust and think he’s the man. What’s wrong with people. He did just what clinton will do. Use the voter and once she doesn’t need them it’s bye – bye.
lulu says
Absolutely right!!!!
Edward & Robin says
You are right. At least Trump told the establishment that he will do it without them if he has to. The party knew it was Trump or face certain defeat in November with a hand picked candidate! Bernie just sold all of his supporters and donors down the river!
Judy says
Does anyone ever think that Bernie may have been threatened? That’s how these folks work. I don’t think he would have given up so easily if that were not the case. Just sayin’.
aw says
with Hilliary’s past list of people dying, I wouldn’t be surprised if Bernie feared for his life!
millie says
That is possible more than you think. Look who has died “suddenly” and mysteriously. Poor Bernie got the shaft. BUT i am voting for Mr. Trump.
jim kamees says
Unelieveable, perhaps now you glass fed minions may (I doubt it) realize you all have been “LIED” to and lead astray. “MINIONS”. even funnier still is the lie from oblowme that he believes “KILLER” is the most qulified to run this Republic, perhaps run this republic into “Hades” and further into debt with her “theft, lies, embezzelment and scamming. Another point reported, that as first lady a bodyguard in the WHO told of greeting her in the am with a goodmorning, her reply………..”FUCK YOU”!!!!!!! Yeah sounds like respect to me. Now look at how you Dems have been lied to again. We this republic doesn’t have the funds to “GIVE” any one of you “SQUAT”, wake up people. If any of you think by leaving our southern border wide open is the just thing to do, just remember that the more illeagles allowed in means “LESS” for Americans, high or low income! I do find solence in knowing you people perhaps have woken up and relied it’s not just us, but the rest of the “WORLD”. Truly amazing how gullible you “low-info” voters are!!!
Martin says
How can leave the Party when you never belonged to the Party?
cbanalyst says
When Bernie backed Hillary he was a disappointment to me. I would have thought he’d have more courage.
Mike says
He wanted to live to see another day! Have you ever noticed what happens to people who don’t support the Clintons? He might be crazy, but he ain’t stupid!!!
Terry says
What the hack? You hire hackers to watch the hen house( the Constitution where the nation has all it’s eggs) you are bound to get hacked! Like Jesus both T and Bernie were/are rocking the boat. And the cry against them is the same. Crucify them, crucify them! Used by our modern entrenched pharisees, the democrats, in the controlled media and in primaries! The collapse of the dim party is turning into quite a spectacle! The funeral will be in Nov?
lizaz says
This means nothing…..Bernie has purportedly been an “independent” but he ALWAYS votes with the democrats….I guess they are closer to his socialist beliefs than the Republicans. For those who are crying on their pillow about Bernie, take a good look at Venezuela these days after their socialism failure. Their people are literally starving!!!
aw says
Its about time that Bernie Sanders grew balls & is telling the DNC to go F themselves! HIL-LIAR-Y screwed him! And the DNC is racist. They used only grieving Black women, to promote their agenda for election. If they were supposedly presenting a message regarding violence, where were the white grieving women who also lost their loved ones? Where were the women who lost their loved ones simply because they wore BLUE UNIFORMS? Democraps instill “RACIAL FEARS” within black communities and create the racial divide so as to take the focus away from the real problems within America!
millie says
Well said.
gail says
The democratic party has destroyed our relations with our allies all while trying to build relationships with our enemies! I call bullshit!
Justin W says
Bernie Sanders’ tweet doesn’t surprise me. He ran as a Democrat in hopes of using the party’s power to become president. After that failed he apparently did not receive any reason from the Clinton campaign to stay in the Democrat Party.
The Sanders campaign shows a real need for the political parties to create a rule requiring a person to be a member of the party for ___ years before being able to seek office as a member of the party. Bernie joined the Democrats to run for president. When he lost he decided to leave the party and become an independent again. Between his entry and exit his campaign helped create a number of problems for the Democrat Party and for one of the party’s faithful members. Bernie has had a political alliance with Democrats for years, but there is a difference between an alliance and actually being a member of the party.
Dick says
If you vote for the BITCH Hillary, we don’t want to see any tears falling from your eyes. Bend over if she wins and take it like a Democrat . You think your broke now, she will suck you dry folks. Her and her cohorts are the worst thing for America. VOTE TRUMP AND YOU WILL BE REWARDED WITH A GREAT AMERICA AGAIN. Aren’t you tired of the same old shit? It looks like Bernie’s folks will go REPUBLICAN !!!!!!!!!!!!! also BONVOYAGE DEBBIE. What a LOOSER YOU ARE. There’s a job waiting for you at Walmart.
PS: Go back to Chicago Barry where you belong …….
Terry says
Personally I could never vote for Bernie. Because of his message, socialism. The dream of the democrat’s father’s that is more like a nightmare then a fantasy. Islam is the mother of all socialism so supporting socialism is supporting islam and the caliphate OWG they dream about. The world needs to pursue the Kingdom of God taught by Jesus, not the kingdom of man pushed, with a vengeance, by islam. Actually the kingdom of Mo, a nation under sharia law! Not appropriate for people that have freedoms. Unless you want to be a subject instead of being a citizen!
Abe says
Bernie: Shillary! You colluded with Obama, the media, and the DNC! You witch!!
Hitlary: I’m the nominee now! At this point, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE!
Well Bernie never was a Democrap. He was and Independent. BUT he did caucus with them. So the question is, will he continue to caucus with them, or will he caucus with Angus King by themselves? Both parties know every one is pissed off to the max at everyone in CONgress! If Carson or Trump wouldn’t have gotten the nomination, I’d be voting for Johnson again!
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Bernie and Shillary are on the same stage at the DNC Convention in front of a huge crowd. Bernie leans towards Hitlary and says, “Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, but will go deep into their hearts, and they’ll forever speak of this day and rejoice!”
Killary replied, “I seriously doubt that! With one little wave of your hand?….Show me!”
So Bernie backhanded her and knocked her off the stage! AND THE CROWD ROARED & CHEERED WILDLY, and there was happiness throughout the land!
Connie Condra says
FOTHLMAO!!! I love it.
Mike says
Rather than leaving the Democraps, he and his followers should join the CPUSA. May as well! There’s no difference between the democraps and the communist party.
Ted says
I’m amazed at how ignorant half the country is in politics. If people would just go to u-tube and see the past on
Hillary/Bill Clinton and still have the gall to vote for them, you must be considered a traitor to your country. She would be a great danger to us as a nation. No one is perfect, but several upstanding people that have known Trump for over 30 yrs. say he is a true & honest person and I’ve heard most of his talk and have been very impressed – the people that are against him are mostly angry because he wants to stop their crooked ways in financial dealings. Wake up or lose your way of life.
Maria Graves says
None of this matters folks! Crooked, condescending, evil Hillary is going to be the next president. I’m not saying don’t go and vote, but your vote for anyone but Hillary won’t matter. Hillary as president has been on the books since the evil Clintons made it to Washington. They are of the same blood line that all but 2 of our presidents have/had. She is part of the 1%, Bilderburg, Tri-lateral Commission, you name it, the Clintons are involved in all that is evil in this world. Evil, evil and more evil, to a degree that most people cannot even imagine. So folks, it has already been determined. She will be the next president, and we will all suffer for it. End of story.
p.s. I do enjoy the banter. It’s very entertaining….
herb says
THE DNC is nothing but robbers and AMERICA is gone with the BITCH AND FAMILY stealing and flooding our country.
Th ey paid off the FBI and ATTORNEY GENERAL -same as ERIC HOLDER?OBAMA.THE CLINTONS need locked up and FBI knows it. TRUMP will clean house -put the wall up and throw the Clintons in PRIZON in COLORADO.
ALL the democrats should vote for TRUMP/PENCE TO GET AMERICA great. Walk out on CLINTON TONIGHT AND NOT WATCH HER BULL SHIT _LIES_ .BOO HER _THROW TOMATOES -She lied to you DNC- Wasserman did the same-.
TRUMP/PENCE FOR the next 8yrs and watch america grow and close the borders.

Al Wood Sr. says
He has been put out to pasture. Kinda feel sorry for him even though he is a turncoat. Well I guess you get what you ask for. Who I really feel sorry for is all of his supporters he has let down. Maybe they will wise up and pull the level for DONALD TRUMP….
Scott says
The DNC circus last night was a continuation of a joke! Hypocrisy at its highest and the endless lies make one puke. The speakers were not ashamed addressing their believing audience and that includes all speakers. Yet, the highlight of the comedy was the entry of the nominee and the embracing with the president! Joe was at his best, Bloomberg was driven by recognition starvation, no message and Tim…behaved weird,body and language. Not to mention the contents of his speech as there were none of significance, in fact he tried to compete with the Minnesota silly comedian but both were failures. One comes to think are there still people who believe these liars? are these incompetent arrogant liars asking to take over the helm of the country? God forbid! The president gave a good speech and although admitted some problems he painted a picture of success. Amazingly, no word about the increase of the national debt to 19 trillion dollars or Benghazi or Syria or Iraq or Bill Ayers or Jeremiah Wright (GD America) or the assassinated policemen or the thousands of black young people killed in Chicago in the past 8 yrs or ISIS or Islamic terrorism or why the “Clintons” are above the law! It is sad to see that the Democrat party for achieving political goals has veered away from the ideals, the principles and core values of our country and allowed contamination, corruption and deceit to replace them. Indeed, the president did some good things and history will judge his overall performance.
Dave says
Here’s something from history all should consider before voting
• Tell us, what was the party of slavery? The Democrats.
• What was the party of Andrew Jackson, slave owner, Indian murderer, treaty breaker and land thief? The Democrats Party.
• Who was the party of the KKK? The Democrats.
• Who was the party of Jim Crow? The Democrats.
• What party ended slavery? The Republicans.
• What was the party of Ida B Wells, anti-slavery reporter 100 years before Rosa Parks? Republican.
• What was the party of Woodrow Wilson, who segregated both gov’t and military while ghettoizing the North? The Democrats.
• What was the party who resisted in Congress the Civil Rights Act of 1964? The Democrats.
• What was the party of Margaret Sanger? Democrats!
• What party supports murdering fetuses for money? Democrats
• What is the party of lying, incompetent, money-grubbing Hillary Clinton? Surprise, the Democrats Party. Source: “Hillary’s America”, a film by Dinesh D’Souza.
• What’s Hillary’s mantra when accused of anything? She quotes her idol, Saul F Alinsky, “Deny, deny, deny.” The biggest con America has ever seen: the Democratic Party!
Dave says
This was posted by Rick Wendling. I can’t take the credit but we may learn something from it.
2mil says
Apparently, Bernie is nothing more than an opportunist. One of the few truths out of Hillary’s mouth was that Bernie was an independent but became a democrat when he decided to run for president. Probably became a dem because he needed other people’s money to make the run (its the socialist way). Now that he didn’t get his way, he’s leaving and becoming an independent again.
Mack Foster says
i disagree with bernie sanders on many issues. most importantly though, we are both Americans who believe in a free system. and i respect him and his supporters as my fellow Americans. I DO NOT RESPECT the way the democratic party and what they have become. all-controlling, by whatever means possible, lying, cheating, corruption, greed, they are hypocrites and fakes and don’t seem to have the ability to even think on their own anymore. and i respect bernie even more for his decision to quit the party. i think hutson and panneta were looking out into that dnc crowd thinking, “this is what i’m a part of?” this is not America. not the America i want to be a part of, where people can’t think on their own, where the media decides what we think and who we vote for. hillary is incompetent idiot, who according to the NSA can’t understand how to use a desktop computer. seriously. if you don’t believe me go to wikipedia and look it up. The FBI says she’s too dumb to prosecute. Her personal aid says she is often confused and doesn’t know what’s going. Yet people will actually vote for her?
Johnny Roger says
See the movie “Hillary’s America” today. It does tell the history of the Democrat party. It illustrates how the D party kept the blacks
in slavery for long into the 20th century. You will learn much about Billy Bob and Hillary as well. Don’t wait. Oh. and vote for the
folks who will make things right in America, Trump and Pence.
Stephen Russell says
Those empty seats were filled by PAID Clinton fans for PR etc for Convention.
To all Sanders supporters: Vote Trump.
with Hillary U get Zero.
Geoff Boxer says
Obviously Bernie’s been offered something tasty by Hillary and it ain’t a bagel with cheese. The only decent Democrats I remember were the Kennedy’s. Talking of which WATCH YOUR BACK DONALD!!.
Scoots says
Oh good Lord! He said, “I’ll stay two years more as an independent”.
He has two years left in his term, he now, because he lost, will fulfill his INDEPENDENT term, and then?
Shut up.
Allison Dollar says
Wow, some seriously ignorant and downright illiterate people on here. Please read the Constitution and stop rumor mongering across social media. Bernie lost the popular vote. There’s no way any Dem in red or purple states would have voted for him. And as for Trump, please get a grip and go back to sixth grade history. If you can’t spot a demagogue on the rise then clearly you need help. Or perhaps, like the gentleman’s comment re. Obama increasing racism, lol, you have other issues you need to examine. Obviously deep seated issues came to the surface with his presidency, as his very existence enraged the racists. If Clinton is insincere and a career politician who probably does have some shady issues, does that necessarily mean she won’t support the platform. Because it’s about legislation, people, pure and simple. Who the eff cares about personalities. Work on local level to push your agenda up to national, and then get the laws passed that suit you. That’s all that matters.
Craig Apelbaum says
I don`t blame Bernie Sanders for leaving the democratic party. But I was not a Sanders supporter either. But then again he is full of baloney Hillary Rotten is.
There is only one true candidate for president. And is DONALD J. TRUMP. And that`s the candidate I`m voting for. Because I know he will be our next president.
Moe Mckeague says
I guess when the DNC paid off Bernie they forgot the line in his contract stating he would not quit the Dumbocrats before the convention was over. The DNc must have paid him a tidy sum to kiss all the kester he had to kiss!
Walt says
WE, the people of Christian faith, no matter of religious affiiation, all over in the world, we have to stop these Muslims that are in this Country. The Muslims support the ISIS. Democrats and those who still want’s islamist terorist to invade this country, please, change your place and country you want to live. Get the hell out of this country and go back to your war torn countries Libya, Syria, Iraq, Iran & Islamic Countries. Christians are fed-up and scared for us and our children. American people smart and less smart need to understand who are our enemies really are. Those, who want the NEW ORDER, ISLAMIST TERORISTS, they are our country enemies. Those, who blindly support Hillary Clinton are signing their life over to be killed by Muslims that or wanting to take over America. STOP. This is America our country and belongs to Christians, Jews, not ISIS and not Muslims. All Muslims in America need to be deported that are supporting the Islamic Shira law that want to kill Americans.
EDGARDO PEREZ says
Hell no. as Natalie Di Blasio said: I will never vote for Hillary.

Ariel Valyo, DVM says
Bernie and Trump may be on opposite sides of the fence, but they are both correct. The system IS rigged. Bernie got the shaft from the crooked Democrats and Trump almost didn’t get the nomination from the crooked Republicans. Vote for a LEADER and not a LIAR. GO TRUMP 2016!!
Pvet says
I hope the Brnie followers see him for what he really is after trying to shove Hitlary down their throat !

Since George Soros owns the company that makes the voting machines, it won’t matter if republicans or anyone else votes for trump, clinton will win!
louann says
This is what I’m happy about. That millions of people have seen the corruption of both parties. I will be voting for trump. Mr. Johnson the other candidate is for TPP. Bad Bad Bad. Trump is not a politician. He sees the corruption of both sides.He has been saying this the whole time.If people would listen to what he is saying with a open mind they would be surprised . The lie’s the slander of his name . Commonsense is a must . God help this country .

Sanders was doomed from the beginning and then endorses Hillary after finding out how she got the nomination through tricks at the DMC? Hoards of empty seats at the convention, heard they paid people to fill them for TV views of audience, is that true? Convention had more protests than GOP and was never shown or reported in the nightly news, wonder why? Could this be the beginning of Hillary’s rigged news and election coverage.

Isn’t this country wonderful? All you young people have the right to speak your minds, and vote for whomever you want – most people in this world don’t have that right. I think we can all agree on this. Just one observation – you all sound so angry! Why don’t you use this energy for making this a better world. You have the power to do so, and you all sound like decent human beings who can make a change. I hope you all turn in droves to vote in November. This is your privilege!

The dem party is no longer what it was once. It and the reps are corrupt and crooked and not for the people. There ARE other choices. WE have the power to make those other choices viable. All we have to do is vote for them!
Change is NOT going to happen from within the main parties. That song has been sung for over twenty years now. It’s not happening. It never will. It’s a fact they are owned by the 1%. Stop beating your head on a wall! Vote third party.
There are choices there for ALL of us, dems, reps, indys etc. If we ALL stood united and stopped voting the 1%ers game (ie voting dem or rep) then we would take our country back. We’d improve our economy by breaking their stranglehold on congress and the wh, laws would get enforced, changes would actually happen. No more war. No more constant posturing for the next elections. Ppl would no longer be just wage slaves to the rich.
WE DO HAVE THE POWER! All it takes is us standing together as our forefathers did and NOT playing their damn game and stop letting the drive us like cattle to slaughter! Stop running scared. VOTE THIRD PARTY!!

It is amazing how many people are talking of voting for the establishment candidates when there is a mountain of evidence that the entire primaries for the democratic party were rigged. These machines have been banned in other countries because they are easily hacked, purging, disappearing voter registration, vote flipping and deleted voters. It is ridiculous to vote… the next president has most likely already been chosen. The candidates are hand picked to carry on the agenda of the 1 percent and no matter which gets into office the plans will continue on the same track one side blaming the other when both are doing the bidding of the shadow government. If the mafia media dislikes a candidate it is most likely good for the people because candidates they oppose would not support their bosses. Your vote is an illusion. A real revolution would be for no one to vote.

diane-
Essentially, i agree – but i think that all elections should be required to have a “none of the above” selection – and if that one wins, everyone on the ballot must choose ANOTHER candidate that is more palatable, then hold ANOTHER election.
In the meantime, the PtB simply move the levers behind the scenes to ensure that who THEY want gets into office, to hell with the vote of the People.

Bernie shows the face of the highjack victim that he is. Body language does not lie.
Only Hillary has mastered mass deceit to the extent that her face can laugh while
her insides are concocting another lie.
Taking Bernie’s ideas to promise his followers she has heard them, only demonstrates
Hillslide’s skills as a thief in the hope of gaining Bernie’s followers confidence.
Hillslide Speaks ” Legaleze ” fluently and pops her eyes just like reptilians do before
spitting another shot of poison.
Bernie is a good man, with a misguided concept of America, It seems that He, like
many youth today, dream of a free lunch while there is still none.
There exists a great opportunity today to go to Venezuela and live the great free lunch
dream that Hugo Chavez promised and Maduro conserves so well at the chagrin of
all the “Bolivarians” who cheered them to power.
While we can’t predict the future, we can learn from the DNC and their ” chosen ”
Candidate’s own mouth : Lies and more lies. Let your votes tell the truth.!
