Bunch of brain dead morons. Anyone even considering voting for Sanders, who is a wing nut, should have their sanity checked. WHAT is appealing about that whining give-away-your-stuff-to-lazy-bums proponent?

So glad I’m in a right-to-work state. I routinely tell the union to piss off.

The union may be backing him but the workers aren’t. At least not this one.
