Sanders scores big Democratic platform win
The Democratic Party will call for raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.
Click here for reuse options!The fight to get more explicit platform language around wages showed the Vermont senator’s campaign still fighting for the liberal issues that made up his “political revolution” even as his clout fades.
In the weeks since Hillary Clinton clinched the Democratic nomination, her primary rival won a few policy concessions and influenced the party’s platform. But he’s also angered fellow lawmakers for not promptly endorsing his primary foe and has seen his influence wane as President Barack Obama and Sen. Elizabeth Warren stepped in to unify the party behind its presumptive nominee.
Sanders is still seeking more platform concessions at the party meeting in Orlando that broke up just after 1:30 a.m. Saturday, with plans to return later in the day. But he appears to be winding down this period of denouement, with his endorsement of Clinton now expected to come at a joint event next week.

Thank you for your contribution Bernie! Your positions are probably where we should be as a country, but unfortunately we’re a center right nation because of corrupt conservative influences and too much F’ng dark money in our elections.
Now get behind Hillary and the Democratic Party to ensure we don’t have Trump filling vacancies in the SCOTUS.
It’s time for your supporters to get serious as well.

What is the rush? He is still getting concessions out of the old witch…not that she won’t go back on every one of them the second she takes office…since she can’t be trusted as far as you can throw an Abrams tank. The election is not until November so…..
What does it matter now?

You still lying for the most untrustworthy woman on the planet and her relatives that work for politifact.

I just found this in Facebook posted by a friend that I started to dislike since Obama became president because I can’t understand how anyone can be so stupid to be a Repuke supporter:

The real Hillary…. Her actual words:
1) “Where is the God damn flag? I want the God damn fucking flag up every morning at fucking sunrise”. Hillary to staff at the Arkansas Governor’s mansion on Labor Day 1991. From the book “Inside the White House” by Ronald Kessler, p. 244
(2) “Fuck off! It’s enough I have to see you shit-kickers every day!
I’m not going to talk to you, too! Just do your Goddamn job and keep
your mouth shut.” Hillary to her State Trooper bodyguards after one of
them greeted her with “Good Morning.” From the book “America Evita” by
Christopher Anderson, p.90
(3) “If you want to remain on this
detail, get your fucking ass over here and grab those bags!” Hillary to a
Secret Service Agent who was reluctant to carry her luggage because he
wanted to keep his hands free in case of an incident. From the book “The
First Partner” p. 25
(4) “Stay the fuck back, stay the fuck
back away from me! Don’t come within ten yards of me, or else! Just
fucking do as I say, Okay!!?” Hillary screaming at her Secret Service
detail. From the book “Unlimited Access” by Clinton ‘s FBI
Agent-in-Charge, Gary Aldridge, p.139
(5) “Where’s the miserable
cock sucker?” (otherwise known as “Bill Clinton”) Hillary shouting at a
Secret Service officer. From the book “The Truth about Hillary” by
Edward Klein, p. 5
(6) “You fucking idiot” Hillary to a State Trooper who was driving her to an event. From the book “Crossfire” ~pg. 84
(7) “Put this on the ground! I left my sunglasses in the limo. I need
those fucking sunglasses! We need to go back!†Hillary to Marine One
helicopter pilot to turn back while in route to Air Force One. From the
book ” Dereliction of Duty” p. 71-72
(8) “Come on Bill, put your dick up! You can’t fuck her here!!” Hillary to Gov. Bill Clinton when
she spots him talking with an attractive female. From the book “Inside
the White House” by Ronald Kessler, p. 243
There it is ……..book, chapter and page…….the real Hillary Rotten Clinton!
Additionally, when she walked around the White House, NO ONE was
permitted to look her in the eye, they all had to lower their heads with
their eyes towards the ground whenever she walked by. Clearly she is a
class act!
This ill-tempered, violent, loud-mouth, hateful and
abusive woman wants to be your next President, and have total control as
Commander-in-Chief of our Military, the very Military for which she has
shown incredible disdain throughout her public life .
Remember her most vile comment about Benghazi: “What difference at this point does it make?”
Now it will be clear why the crew of “Marine One” helicopter nick-named

I feel like puking just thinking if this might be true.
Well, of course, she is still a lesser or not as evil than Tramp.
So, yeah, as Bernie is not likely to get the nomination, I can understand many will settle for the worse rather than the worst …good luck!

Ok. I posted this few minutes before with words that can’t pass censor, but they’re not my words. So, here it is again but a little bit cleaner.

What an amazingly stupid way to waste space on a thread.

I think Bill’s philandering and cheating has adversely affected Hillary. It is one of the reasons I don’t like her. I think it contributes to her willingness to go to war and a general lack of respect for life. If she wins the presidency, we are going to have to watch her very closely. The presidency shouldn’t just be handed over to someone who may be unstable and have a bad temperament.
Candide Gunn July 10th, 2016 at 10:22
Not to mention bad judgement over and over and over.
oldfart July 9th, 2016 at 15:05
And if Bernie had quit before the convention…I wouldn’t be responding to this post.
Thank you Senator Sanders.
Gina Bousquet July 9th, 2016 at 16:59
Exactly! He was not being delusional or egomaniac as they said, he was being politically wise.
oldfart July 9th, 2016 at 18:44
Crazy like a fox ;)
I’ve heard people say all manner of things about Bernie. Very rarely did I hear “he loves his country”. Why else would he have done what he did under such circumstances…and still chose to see it through to the end.
This above all other reasons is exactly why I voted for him.
Greetings Gina, I hope you are having a good day. ;)
Gina Bousquet July 9th, 2016 at 19:17
Greetings my friend! I’m having a sunny, warm Winter Sunday. We have this expression also, a political fox. :) I loved to follow Bernie’s campaign, such fresh Spring breeze when compared to other candidates. I was bewitched. The Party that counts with Sanders is strengthened and renewed. Looking forward to the future of his movement, hopefully it won’t die in November.

GLAD that Bernie won on that plank… but looks like he lost on having opposition to the job and wage killing TPP pro-corporatist “trade agreement” written into the platform.
Wait, I thought that Hillary changed her mind on this and said she was against the TPP?
Just another Clinton lie.
