That's absolutely ridiculous. Bernie was torpedoed. You enthusiastically backed one of the worst imaginable candidates for the DNC nomination, so don't try to claim you did nothing wrong. Tom is right on this one: you own this.

Yeah, Saint Bernie was torpedoed...by four million actual Democratic voters.

Millions of Bernies supporters were locked out of the process. One thing the Democrats could do, and I'm not saying that would be enough, but it would help, would be to open up all of their primaries and caucuses to independents.

These are your swing voters that determine who wins in the fall.

But instead the Democrats slammed the door in these people's faces in the spring and then turned around and expected them to turn out for them in the fall.

Anyone with a tagline of "trump uber alles" isn't worth the keystrokes.

Actually I am not doing any trading right now. Sitting around all day looking at Q Charts became too much like work. I'm just sitting on more or less safe high dividend stocks, stock funds, and bond funds. I have had the same financial advisor for 35 years, well actually his son is doing most of it now. I very seldom even look at it and told them to do what they felt like doing and don't even call me about it.
