May 2016

should not be forgotten. She honored them and their sacrifices early on and has been proponent for holding mine owners accountable. Her plan to address their issues was drafted in early 2015 an published in Nov of 2015. It was largely ignored by the media and the Sanders camp but her gaffe comments in explaining it were not ignored...they were pumped 24/7 and heralded by BS supporters as proof that Hillary doesn't care about the poor or struggling workers...but Bernie does. Never ending falsehoods about Hillary always win the day and voters predisposed to not liking her because they believe the false hype buy into it.

Well....that was awkward. The first post of the thread kinda blew your point to bits. msanthrope May 2016 #6

White women also voted for Bernie. Nice try at using the horrid "white male" as an excuse. JonLeibowitz May 2016 #13

the only demographic Sanders leads in is white males. msanthrope May 2016 #19

I choose to characterize it as false. Sanders won white women in WV. Epic fail on your part. JonLeibowitz May 2016 #21

So, when Sanders himself declares that HRC's wins in the South don't count mcar May 2016 #12
