Sanders supporters melt down over FBI's Clinton decision
CNN ^ | July 5th, 2016 | By Gregory Krieg

(CNN)It's not only Donald Trump and Republicans expressing their indignation at the FBI's decision not to recommend charges against Hillary Clinton over her handling of classified materials on a private email server.

The Tuesday announcement also set off a torrent of anger and frustration among some of Bernie Sanders' most diehard supporters, a vocal minority who have been agitating for an indictment of the former secretary of state in the hopes it would vault the Vermont senator to the Democratic nomination.

Trump and the Sanders bitter-enders had played up the possibility, pointing to what they called an "FBI convention" that would effectively block Clinton from becoming the nominee. But with FBI Director James Comey's announcement likely closing that door, social media -- including a couple high-profile Sanders backers -- erupted:

Trump is not as much of a warhawk and disruptor of foreign nations as Hillary is, which should appeal to Bernie supporters.

Just amazes me that “The Smartest Woman in the World” now falls back on the dumb broad defense.

Those two have definitely done more to destroy our once-great nation than anyone; although you can’t blame it all on them...look at all the idiots that swoon whenever they come around.

I had not thought about that, all caught up in my own reactions and lividness. But thanks for the reminder of a possible “silver lining”.

They aren’t all young, either. I personally know a couple closer to 70 and they have to be in turmoil right now. They are Vermonters and they adore the Home Team.

The vast majority of Sanders supporters will vote for free stuff and free abortions from Queen Hillary.

Larry Nichols said that one of the FBI investigators is a pedophile, and another is a married family man with a boyfriend. Henceforth, Comey should be assumed to be blackmailed, like John Roberts.

Strike while the irons hot baby. Time to halt all Hillary’s campaign appearances. Let the crooks DC know this travesty of justice will not stand.

No, not just anyone; they should just come out and announce that there are two sets of laws in America...one for the rich and powerful and connected...and one for all of us.

So long 14th Amendment! Guess there really IS no Amendment anymore that haven’t been blatantly violated by the oligarchs in seats of power.

Yet, surprisingly *rolls-eyes*, not a word on the fact from the ‘leaders’ of the GOPe/RNC or any lawsuit from any of the ‘think-tanks’ in the N.E. corridor (but they sure DO love coming along w/ palm upraised to ‘fight the good fight’....someday).

Trump is by no means a perfect candidate. What he is, is the perfect hand grenade to send into the current government. That's why I support him. My earnest wish is that he will destroy the current SOP of government. If a department can be eliminated, Trump, without favors owed, can do it.

Trump should adopt a new campaign slogan . . .
Chips
Will
Fall

This is an implied promise that heads that need rolling - will be rolled.
