The perception that the DNC and other state parties have unfairly favored Hillary Clinton is going to make the reconciliation of Sanders and Clinton supporters nationally and in the states far harder," said Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg, president of the NDN think tank. "The DNC should have tried much harder to address this perception early on, as it always had the potential to become a reason for Sanders partisans to question the legitimacy of Clinton's victory."

ummmm, it's more than a "perception that the DNC has unfairly favored HRC"

1. DWS chastised Sanders last night - I'd call that picking a fight.

4. Their

open support for HRC is so obvious that even the blind can see it.

[Merryland]

7. for sure - no hiding it.

2. If sanders and his people want trump as president they can

Make it happen....when ego is more important than the love of our country....people like trump win....it's a choice and you can't run from the responsibility of what happens...

[Merryland]

8. If Hillary and her people want Trump as president they can

continue on the corrupt path they're headed down or she can bow out gracefully now, or when the indictment comes.

10. Agreed. Clinton supporters should set their egos aside,....

...and start supporting the stronger candidate vs. Trump.

3. Sanders supporters act like buffoons at Hillary rallies and with online threats to Democratic Party

officials. Darn right your foolish behavior has made it harder to unite. You will bring violence outside of the Philadelphia convention. I, for one, don't wish to be associated with the nastiness that I've observed from Sanders and his supporters. Unite this.

[Wellstone ruled]

5. Let's step back and get a grip.

Our Party will be unified after the Convention,Bernie has given his word that no matter what,he would work to make sure we have a unified Party.

Got to love how the political rags and certain so called Pundits are trying to steer this Election Cycle towards the 1 %ers wants.

11. Bernie can't rebuild bridges DNClinton have burned.

It's been 25 years of Clintons giving the middle finger to the Left to reach this point. We're no longer at a kiss and make up stage...a divorce is necessary. Third Way can continue their merger with Republicans. We have other ideas.

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Understand your point.

As a life long Dem,and being active in local and state issues,and again watched the take over via the Eastern Ivy League Liberal Elitist's,and our shift Right ward,I would rather bitch than switch. This time around there are new attitudes towards politics coming from the Millennials. Seen this in the Sixties and our older Party Members were singing a similiar tunes.

Clinton's are Political Animals and they play to win. Our obvious choice is a Democrat over what else is available and viable. Until the working people of this country wake up and pay attention and stop voting like 1%ers,we will only see Centrist and Third way Democrats. Most interesting Primary so far this cycle was Oregon. Check the raw vote numbers and you will see the new trend in Politics in America. Willing to say California happens the same way,trends are now West to East and not East to West.

6. i didnt leave the party. The party left me.

Worst frontrunner ever. She will destroy the party to get what she wants.

[chknltl]

9. I just can't understand where we got that perception.

First:

Second: anyone suggesting I got that perception due to propagandists outside of the DNC are themselves spreading propaganda. I trust the DNC as much as I trust the Bush Family Evil Empire, a lack of my trust they have both earned.
