(57/75) Sanders supporters handmade signs were confiscated & mass produced "handmade" hillary signs distributed. shadowproof.com/2016/07/28/dem…

(66/75) From selecting Tim Kaine as VP to fighting progressive planks on the Dem platform Clinton & co flipped the bird to 50% of Dem base
(67/75) Corporate media, more concerned w appearance than reality, declared the party unified, but potemkin villages don't win gen elections
(68/75) After all was said & done, the year long assault Clinton and Co perpetrated on their own base left them without one in the general.
(69/75) Clinton & co personally attacked millions of voters, rigged their own primary & turned the convention into a televised charade.
(70/75) They schemed & plotted to secure the nomination for Donald Trump making them directly & irrefutably responsible for his presidency.
(71/75) Had the "democratic" party held a fair & democratic primary, Sanders, who consistently out polled Trump would be president today.
(72/75) Hillary Clinton is 69 yrs old. In a decade or so she'll be dead but billions of people will suffer from her disastrous choices.
(73/75) The cult of clinton is a malignant tumor that eventually destroyed the Democratic party from the inside out.
(74/75) They're also, quite possibly, the stupidest group of people to ever walk the face of the Earth.
