Prediction: Bernie will be a Footnote in History

and Hillary will make history.

I don't know how other people feel but after last week's accusations, like Hillary and Dean, I am so done with this.

I actually liked BS at one time. No more. Even with his supporters behaving like fools I tried to overlook it. For me, it really started to unravel when he blew out of North Carolina and wouldn't even acknowledge the contest there other than to say the people in Minnesota were "smarter". From that point on, he pivoted from his banks and the 1% to focusing his corruption charges on Hillary and the Dem party. He intimated "cheating" at every turn even when he was clearly the person who stood to gain.

I really wanted him to stay in the race and use his platform to advance Dem causes. In the last month he has admitted to using the party for media attention and been completely outspoken in his intent to tear Hillary and the party apart. What makes it all the more petty is that he only started to do that when it became obvious he was going to lose.

I'm done and I think most Dems are, too. He has overstayed his welcome by a lot. It is time to go back to Vermont because I seriously doubt many people in the Senate really want to see him again. Maybe he can go on a highly paid speaking circuit --the irony! and spout his inspired message to his followers while the rest of the party works on actually getting things accomplished. He will be a barely mentioned footnote in history. Hillary Clinton will go down in history as a groundbreaking trailblazer and the first woman President.
