She said in 2008, Obama only had a 4% lead in pledged delegates, and needed SDs to get a majority, yet before the convenction Hillary conceded even though she had the majority of popular votes. She did not contest the convention -- she conceded well before the convention and stood firmly in support of Obama at the convention, uniting Democrats. 

Rachel went on to point out that Hillary is 11% ahead of Sanders in pledged delegates. 

And of course, Hillary has millions more in popular votes than Sanders. 

Yet Sanders insists on a divisive contested convention unless Hillary attains the majority of unpledged -- even though 15% of total delegates are SDs. The only way a Dem candidate could get a majority of pledged delegates is by having an utter blowout in the primary. Obama didn't have that. He needed SDs to get a majority of total delegates. Yet Hillary conceded. As she should have. As anyone in Hillary's position should have. Sanders is nowhere near in as strong a position as Hillary was in 2008, yet he won't concede before the convention.

So this is going to uncharted waters on how to get rid of a party crasher that became a boor and stayed too long and won't leave.

are calling Hillary the "anointed one" when it is they who want to subvert the will of the People and get themselves anointed king and queen of America.

The truly disgusting part about Bernie's contested convention aspirations is how he thinks he's entitled to override the will of POC/women.

Democracy is only good when people vote for and recognize all the self-evident and shining attributes of SBS.

Otherwise, it's not.

They are heading right for the cliff that the GOP has already gone over.

Sing it sister!

She doesn't seen broken hearted. I always thought she had a soft spot for Hillary. She went so much easier on BS, but I always thought she enjoyed being able to address complex issues with Hillary.

With Bernie's little song and dance. Unlike "Boy Wonder" Chris Hayes - Rachel isn't about to put her well earned reputation at risk by flogging the impossible tale of the old scoundrel's path to victory.

Hats off to her.
