Sanders Fans, I Get Your Pain. But Let’s Unite Against Trump. [WARNING ! PROCEED WITH CAUTION !!]
The New York Times ^ | JUNE 6, 2016 | JAY CARSON

Posted on 06/06/2016 5:51:58 PM PDT by bryan999

I understand you may not love (or even like) Mrs. Clinton right now. Perhaps you can’t imagine knocking on doors for her in the cold or donating your hard-earned money to finance her campaign. I’m doing both of those things, but I realize that you may not want to. I felt the same way about Mr. Obama in 2008. In the end I didn’t work hard to get him elected (I really regret that now, by the way), but neither did I do or say anything that would harm his chances. I came to accept that he was, in fact, my party’s nominee and might be the eventual president.

Recalling all those op-ed articles I discarded, I finally wrote one toned-down enough that I thought someone might publish it. I showed it to the one person whose blessing, if not praise, I needed: Hillary Clinton. Her response was clear and unequivocal. Do not send this to anyone. The race is over, she said. We fought our best fight, but we lost.

I know how difficult those lessons about losing can be to impart — and even more so to accept. But it is of the utmost importance that we all look beyond this intraparty contest to the one coming in November. I understand the anger about losing, and I know you may not love her (or even like her) yet. But Hillary Clinton is going to be the nominee of the Democratic Party. She is the only thing standing between us and President Trump. That should be enough motivation for all of us to put our differences behind us and focus on helping her win.

Liberals are unprincipled and disgraceful human beings. A great example of that is this extremely horrific NYT Op-Ed.

If it wasn't so horrifying, it would be hilarious... and it's actually quite depressing.

I find myself constantly asking the question : why do liberals exist ?

Maybe we'll never know.....

so-called “liberals,” (really totalitarians,) exist to delight, occasionally frustrate, and help define freedom lovers.

Six uses of the pronoun ‘I’ in this brief excerpt.

Who says lefties are egotistical?

Obama got elected, so what does this guy regret? That he didn’t climb up Obama’s @ss sufficiently to get into bed with him later?

They taught us not to over-use the word “I” and certainly never open a treatise with the old Ninth Letter.

Naturally all those rules are out the window the “me” generation.

These days it’ll get you a New York Times Op-Ed!

If she does get the nomination but not before
we need to flood the internet with memes about her stealing the nomination

maybe it’s all the group counseling?
I think you’re supposed to share only of yourself, not about others?

When a lib says, “let US...” and then there is ANY form of sacrifice...(like “pass out food to poor Africans”)

THEY MEAN *YOU*.

And now they’re doing it to Berners..!!!

Oh man, this is SOOOOO fun...!

For almost 20 years, Jay was a senior staffer for numerous current and former elected officials, including President Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation during the founding of the Clinton Global Initiative,[4] Senate Democratic Majority Leader Tom Daschle,[5] Senator Chuck Schumer, Senator Bill Bradley, and Governor Howard Dean. He was the Press Secretary for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her 2008 presidential bid.[6] from wiki

The Yin and the Yang. Without leftists we wouldn't have evil so strongly illustrated for us.

Is there a Republican that would run that the other side wouldn’t think is the devil incarnate? I ask the same of the Republicans as well. Answer, probably not. That’s why the country is in trouble no matter who wins. Maybe, just maybe if Trump won in a landslide there would be hope because I really think he’d find away not to make every day a hate fest. Not popular here I’m sure but I refuse to hate either candidate. The media is true scum
