It's Now All About Respect
By Sheri Rivlin and Allan Rivlin

How can a party so divided, repair itself in time for the November election? The answer is simple -- concentrate on fundamentals no more complicated than the Golden Rule. If Obama supporters want the votes of Clinton supporters, they had better not take them for granted. A Clinton voter and an Obama voter team up to try to help Obama supporters understand Clinton supporters, why they feel so insulted, and how the Obama camp can offer them the real respect they deserve.

Sen. Jeff Merkley: Before Democratic unity, Sanders supporters need respect
Susan Page, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON — Amid rising concerns about a deepening Democratic divide, one of Sen. Bernie Sanders' top supporters said party leaders and the Hillary Clinton campaign must give backers of the Vermont senator a chance to be heard at the national convention this summer if they expect the party to unite behind her.

Based on 2008, we also know how this primary ends.

Yeah, I don't get it, either, but it's being propped up in GDP.

4. I suggest "Trashing" GDP. I would trash GD but then it logs you out.

19 Days until New Jersey, New Mexico and California. After that Bernie can continue holding rallies all over the country! I am sure that will impress the Super Delegates

5. I'm to the point that I'm using it mostly for entertainment and for mocking the dumb.
