The vast majority of young people voting in the democrat primary in 2008 likely had no idea who Barack Obama was 6 months prior to voting for him nor had a clue he spoke in the 2004 convention.

Seriously Boat. Hillary was all a Dick Morris and Fox News obsession? So nearly a decade later democratic circles that tossed her to the curb are now beating their chubs to the lying hag. They are not.

I disagree with Bernie but he means well. I respect him for his convictions and his honesty. Unfortunately looking like a mad scientist can doom you politically nowadays. Bernie looks ten times better than Martin Van Buren.

So do a lot of other democrat primary voters. Same as back in 2008. I am guessing those in democrat circles share you sentiments.
