What is wrong with the greedy people of this nation that they can set back and watch this happen when they could be doing something? But it is not just the greed - it is the elected officials of those states that ignore the problems.

So, when Sanders himself declares that HRC's wins in the South don't count mcar May 2016 #12
I didn't say HRC was a terrible awful person, nor was that the point of the OP JonLeibowitz May 2016 #16
