I can't tolerate the bashing of Hillary here

20. I think it was shortlived

I'll acknowledge that as a black woman, I was pro-Hillary in '08. I actually did a college term paper on then-Sen. Obama's amazing keynote speech at the 2004 DNC convention, but I felt in '08 that Hillary was the more seasoned of the two of them. I was sorely disappointed when it became clear that she would not win the primary, and I did have some friends who were sore about it for a time. But we ALL came under the tent for Obama. There was no jeering, no backbiting.

I think I discovered DU around that time. I don't remember any Obama supporter having to hunker down in his appreciation group because the main boards were constantly bashing him. There were some disappointed people but as you said, most of us jumped in for Obama feet-first. That supporters of Sen. Sanders are so gleeful at a time that they ought to be scared spitless about the direction of this country under Orangina is horrific.
