and she can let loose and punch back. She's been put through the ringer by the crazies this cycle.

One thing that I wondered about during the interview with DWS was why DWS didn't pick up on what seemed to me, at least, to be the most obvious weak point of Bernie's ranting about the "unfairness" of SDs. Bernie in his speech pointed out that he had received 45% of the pledged delegates but only had a tiny percentage (can't remember whether he said that he had 7% or 9%) of SDs and said that this shows that the SD system is unfair.
Yet, even if Bernie had 45% of SDs (which will never happen) to approximate his pledged delegates, Hillary would still have 55% of the pledged votes and 55% of the SDs. Even to somewhat math-challenged persons like me, 55% is a CLEAR MAJORITY. So how on earth can Bernie logically believe and argue that HE should be the nominee in a democratic election?
I believe that Bernie is even more math-challenged than I am.
I did like that DWS pointed out that it was hypocritical of Bernie to complain about the SD system on the one hand and then seek to have the SDs support him on the other. He is quite logic-challenged, IMO.
I am not sure who the woman interviewer was but, even though she said that she was a Republican, she actually made a lot of sense about how Bernie is doing Hillary and the Dem Party harm right now. I believe that he is too.
