Will Sanders ask for a recount of the delegates count at the convention?

Or will he have the class and grace to do this?




Only he can determine how history remembers him

hurts Democratic chances?" Hillary drop out? Grace? Class? Give me a break. Do pigs fly.

Does that feel right to you, on the other foot?

At the very least, leave out the "pigs" reference would be my suggestion.

Hope that many small incidents of listening bring us all together in the end.

His ego, bombast, and quite frankly, dishonest nature won't allow him to ever concede.

in the manger at every opportunity.

If he does do something shirty like that, history will have quite the footnote for him.

You don't want your name to be remembered in that fashion--"Pulling a Sanders" or "Pitching a Bernie" will be the way to describe a loser foot-dragging or trying to stomp on a winner's joy.

It will not be a good thing for him. He'll be able to make some money on a book and some speeches after he retires IF he starts trying to find the high ground now, but if he persists on this path, someone ELSE will make the money on the "Game Change" type book that dishes every possible bit of dirt from inside that campaign.

I'll buy that book, too.

He'll make a huge speech about a rigged system and then ask for a recount. The convention is going to be a huge mess.
