as opposed to Hillary, who kept losing primary after primary...and, yet, kept gaining delegates over Sanders.

He only drove away the NeverTrumpers.
And all of them are freaking idiots.
I’m moved by your concern, LATimes!
“Keep the party growing.”
Well that means he HAS the party growing, ya LA Slimes moron!
/obviously not directed to the Freeper OP
Uh...”many party leaders” = Paul Ryan? The guy who’s about to get primaried? That Paul Ryan?
and they can’t write a single sentence without “may,” “might,” “perhaps,” etc. Every statement is qualified just to protect their lies. Sick of it.
Besides posting it on this site who reads their shat? Old geezers?
The LA Times has as much credibility as a pledge from Ted Cruz to support the nominee.
Hey, whoa...geezing is now my life...
Geez. Sorry! Present company excluded!
I LOVE the smell of ‘Rat desperation! It’s a mixture of the flop sweats, patchouli, Starbucks coffee and pot!
