Jan 2017

After Bernie lost the Bernie or Bust crowd decided to go scorched earth and bring us all down. They decided if Bernie can't win then HRC won't be the winner either! It was very childish. I still can't fathom they would root for Trump but those individuals do exist. I did vote for Bernie in the primary, but I was not a Bernie or Bust - I was a Bernie or Hillary person. They chose BUST and now we call get tRump.
