I just think it is awful and disheartening that at this point of the GE campaign that Nina Turner

says rather gleefully to Chris Matthews that she is not a Hillary supporter.

How much to you think she and others of her mindset hurt us in the GE and will they ruin our convention?

When the smoke clears and we win once again without them, that leaves us free to disregard them. If they can't come together with us, then so be it. It isn't how I would behave if I were them, but that's why I'm not them.

And if you want to know what the price is for merging with radicals, simply look at the Republican Party. They have gone off the rails. Radical leftists have said, in no uncertain terms, that they want to destroy us.

The idea of coming together and working things out has great appeal, but radicals are scorpions. They will sting us if we let them too close.

That's how the Republican Party has become so deranged that they would make Donald Trump their nominee for president. They allowed the fringe right too much power because they preferred that to allowing brown and black people into their party. We can't let Dems go down that same road to become a fringe base party.

The appeal of a party should be to many people, not to just a few.

would go full out Trump supporter. She craves media attention like most of us crave chocolate. With Sanders endorsement of Clinton, she saw her 15 minutes evaporating, and she's holding on for dear life.

She will go on TV for the rest of her life and bitch and moan about Democrats who (unlike herself) are elected to office.

Maybe the new Foxnews will hire her as their token everything. She hits all the buttons for them for one salary.

a 3rd party candidate, she should have any Democratic credentials rescinded and not allowed at the convention. Just like Corneal West who the DNC graciously gave a seat on the platform committee, and when he got what he wanted announced he was supporting Jill Stein. Also should not be allowed at the DEMOCRATIC convention.

JMHO
