Sorry but honestly, it is what it is and she is marred and completely engulfed in controversy. She doesn't represent many of us and we see Hillary more akin to a RINO than anything else. If Bernie did that, that's on him but what you may be not understanding is that the movement is far greater than just Bernie. It's about ideals and it's about integrity and most of all it's about US. Hillary isn't about any of that and we see her in it for herself, much like Romney. Many of us have never liked Hillary and we're sick of the lying, the spin and dishonesty.

Whatever he feels about Clinton, I think he despises (and fears) Trump as President Armstead May 2016 #13

Out spite and hubris, she won't let him talk. ChairmanAgnostic May 2016 #10
