Here is a new thought that I haven't seen posted yet.

Instead of some Bernie supporters telling us what we need to do get their respect or vote or how gracious we should be, how about the 80% of the members who have been posting for over a year, the most vile, hateful lies about our candidate apologize to us?

OK?

I didn't think so?

Certainly not an apology.

I don't feel like any side needs to apologize for anything.

Politics is cut throat. Sometimes it gets vile, nasty, etc.

That happens. I don't take it personally.

Bernie fans are combing through issues of the Daily Caller and Free Republic every day for more "facts" about the Clintons.

But I ain't yelling at you upaloopa.

I saw a lot of unpleasant truths that were dismissed by her supporters.

for the animus to wind down.

Bernie is making the most of his final press conference before we have a presumptive nominee. I like very much some of the bigger points of his agenda. If he truly cares about keeping that agenda alive (and I think he does), he'll do the most productive thing likely to advance it and endorse the nominee on 6/7 or 6/8.
