Why do people think she is sincere about caring for people when there is abundant evidence to the contrary?

That doesn't mean that Sanders should be pushed out or pressured to drop out. If party leaders approach him, it will be more in the context of pivoting to attacking Trump, not Hillary. Sanders has attracted many supporters and he should be treated with respect. Otherwise, the party will not unite to vanquish the real enemy, Republicans.

I'm in complete agreement with you. If Sanders doesn't get the nomination, it's yet another election with the unenviable option of choosing the least evil candidate or not voting at all. In my case, if the nominee of any party voted in favor of the IWR, they're not getting my vote.

is to focus on the facts. Here is the best site for keeping track of today's elections. http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results

Here is a good site for keeping track of the delegate counts: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/democratic_delegate_count.html

They're still counting in Louisiana. 75% counted as I post. Clinton has already won 28 delegates there and will pick up more when all the votes are counted. Bernie passed the 15% threshold, so he'll get some too but they likely won't show at all until the final votes are counted. http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/louisiana

Bernie's wins this weekend(he's going to take 3 out of 4)will build momentum his way.

And unless you're a DLC type, you shouldn't WANT this to end on 3/15.

If Bernie did drop out before the primaries ended, HRC would instantly default back to Bill's '96 platform.

If HRC wins the nomination and GE, she'll be hearing the same criticism starting November 9th.

Its about the issues -- not the person.

Take a breath and relax. Enjoy the election season. The only thing we have to prove this year is that the Democratic Party has one helluva good slate of candidates. It is our job to have as much fun getting them into office without pissing off fellow Democrats.

It really is that simple.

Have some fun, but be kind.
