What a brave FF!

Glad to have the high energy Vitter-crusher on Hillary's side rather than the low energy attention whore LOSER Jim Webb!

Massive FF

I have no doubt that if MLK were alive today, he'd be supporting TRUMP too!

The sad thing is, people voting against their own self-interests is not a new occurrence.

The sad thing is people still think they can tell others what their self-interest is.
Also, I will proudly vote against my self-interests if it means helping people achieve their dreams.

Do we criticize all of Bernie Sanders' affluent supporters (i.e. 90+% of them) for how they cast their vote?

First off, if you are a civil rights activist and you endorse a presidential candidate supported by KKK members, it may just be me but that's a little against civil rights. Furthermore, Bernie supporters are not commonly "affluent", those people are probably going to be getting robocalls by Donald Trump's campaign in the GE asking for donations.

Listen I really don't care who anyone endorses, but it's pretty obvious that at least in the interest of race (which this man obviously supports), Donald Trump will not be supporting that interest.

Nah John Bel Edwards is gonna kick arse and take names. I'm excited for when Republicans put some low energy whimp to face the DESTRUCTION JBE is about to give them.

Voting for Hillary will be a major talking point in his re-election. He very easily could've said his vote was private, or he wrote someone in, and even that he would vote third party in the general.

Is a (publicized) vote sufficient grounds for saying that a politician has endorsed? I ask because of Sandoval's clarification that his caucusing for Rubio wasn't an endorsement last week. Ta-Nehisi Coates, who is voting for Sanders but not endorsing him, is another example.

Gene Taylor and Dan Boren said that they voted for McCain.

You are aware that Vitter ran ads about Edwards voting for Obama twice, right? That worked out great.

Yes, I know about the scandal, but still, Vitter should have been able to come close given how deeply non-Atlas  red LA is. Edwards's margin suggests that he had a clear shot at winning even in an alternate universe where the 2nd slot in the runoff went to Angelle.

Nope. I have an argument that he'd be with either Cruz, Paul (if he were still in), or Rubio.

Huh Sanders's base is poor white people.

Look at who his niece Alveda is supporting. Some one who is consistently pro-life, traditional marriage, and for religious liberty.

Remember MLK only supported JFK because Nixon was just a flat out jerk.

Gingrich: (This is) John Kasich's Moment

Not quite an endorsement but as close as it can get to one!

That certainly reads a whole lot like an endorsement without the specific word "endorsement".

At this point, Gingrich sounds like a Trump-Kasich swing voter.
