Those links don't prove what you claim they are proving--that's a cheap trick, to send people to MADem Sep 2015 #69

maybe because his supporters aren't running for president? noiretextatique Sep 2015 #19
it is hard to find an thread that does not include a criticism of Bernie "supporters" virtualobserver Sep 2015 #32
