Advice to Bernie supporters

Election 2016


To all those people that supported Bernie Sanders, you did so because you were sick and tired of business as usual inside the Washington DC beltway. Now you will be courted by Hillary Clinton, you will be promised that she hears you and wants to help the Bernie Sanders' dreams become a reality.

Don't be fooled. Nobody -- and I mean nobody -- is more of a DC insider. She is a lobbyist's darling, a power broker, a consummate politician that can talk for hours and say nothing. She isn't available to the press or the general public. She has used her foundation to further her political agenda. She has lied to Congress, Federal investigators, and she has lied to you. Worst of all she belittled your concerns by belittling Bernie. We don't yet know if Bernie will ask you to support Hillary. It seems almost impossible to believe he will. But if he gets enough concessions from the DNC, he might. Because he would feel the concessions would make your life better. Understand that he is saying what he must, not what believes. I feel sure most of you won't be able to take that leap of faith because you have no history on which to base such a decision. You can still write Bernie in. It is a far better way to make your voices heard than a vote for Hillary would be. Bruce Butler Englewood, FL
