Man as a bitter Bernie supporter can I just say thank loving christ Rubio didn't win

because HRC would absolutely lose to Rubio in the general and he was almost as bad as Cruz on policy with worse composure under pressure than Trump, with more credibility in the eyes of the public than either because all the GOP heavies who hated them loved him

one possible response: My Glass-Steagall repeal vote was a mistake. If elected I personally am going to push for a measure to reinstate the repealed portions of Glass-Steagall. I'll make it one of my first priorities.

second possible response: I stand by that vote. Those sections of Glass-Steagall had already been weakened and their ultimate repeal was not a cause of the financial crisis.

the Lincoln Chafee response: uhhh well you know i was new, uh i had just joiend the senate and ujh, well y'know my dad died, hate to say it but my dad had just died and i'd just gotten to the senate, and there was a big rip in my pants that day too, and i had them on backwards actually, well thats how the rip came about i went to the bathroom and couldnt find the fly to unzip, and in my haste i foolishly tore a new fly in the front myself, and like i said m y dad had just died and i was mostly focused on holding a dossier over my crotch so peolpe wouldnt see the rip, you know it was my first vote in the senate and i just wanted to fit in and not be embarrassed, so really i have to ask that you ignore that vote, thanks
