either. But here's a truth: The voting machines are hackable. Another truth: In states where there were paper trails, Bernie won; in states without them, Hillary won.

Conclusions can be drawn from that, which may or may not be true. But I hope that they do sue to gain access to the machines. And that we have paper trails by November. Better safe than sorry.

Here's a truth: The news has been misrepresented by the media and at times they were proven to have outright lied. See, for example, Jon Ralston, who got caught so no longer works for PBS. Until then, he was "highly respected".

Here's reality: When people lie to you, expect them to lie to you again. Suspect everything they say. From my psychology classes: The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

It does not then follow that they are lying every time. Or this time. But you don't know when you're being lied to. If it were easy to catch them, they wouldn't do it. So take everything with the appropriate grain of salt.

Here's another truth: I am a 56-year-old female and most of the people I know are in my age group. I do not know a single Hillary supporter. Not one. Unfortunately, I do know some Trump supporters, but I keep them at arms' length.

So here's a question: If my experience is repeated by the tens of thousands of visitors to this site, at what point do you wonder if Clinton really has a majority in this age group?

And here's my conclusion: We don't know. Sure, some people are voting for her, of course. But how many? We simply don't know. She has not proven that the numbers she claims are the true numbers. You can say she probably has the majority of older Dem voters. But you can't state it as a fact because you can't prove it unless they'll give you access to the voting machines. Which they won't.

And here's a parenthetical truth: My 80-plus-year-old parents, with no Internet access, understand that Bernie wants to take us back to policies of FDR, and they approve. They have enjoyed their retirement since age 65, felt that they had worked hard and long by that point to earn a good retirement, and are appalled that their children cannot afford to retire and will probably keep working until we die. They are also appalled that nearly all their college-educated grandchildren are unemployed. They also understand the basic ideas behind climate change and support a switch to renewable energy. They even understand that cops often act like total heartless a$$hole$ and need to be reined in, and they are sympathetic to the BLM movement, freeing drug abusers from jail, and getting rid of for-profit prisons. Dad's registered Dem and Mom's registered Repub but hasn't voted for a Repub in ages. Both voted for Obama, that hopey-changey thing. Dad voted for Bernie. Mom missed the deadline to change her registration. They came to all these conclusions independently of me. They watch no cable, watch all the network news, and read a lot. Our experiences could not be more different, and yet we came to the same conclusions.

I agree with those who say it's a money division, not a generational division. All us old folks in my family do want to reshape this country's priorities. The last President they liked was Carter. So to me, there is nothing farfetched in that.

I'm sure there are many people here who agree with you. You just didn't find them in this thread. Stick around, you'll find them. Personally, I think finding people with opinions different from mine is more fun.

$70 million. You could hire staff and we could all afford snazzy socks!

My primary goal during that call was to get them not to call me anymore. Secondary goal was to make sure they know I will not vote for Hillary. During previous calls from the Hillary campaign, I had identified myself as a Bernie supporter, but had told them if she were nominated, I would support her. That has changed, and I wanted them to know that. I'm assuming that the Hillary people are keeping track of the number of non-Hillary-voters, although I could be mistaken.

So far, so good. They haven't called me back (yet).
