Bernie sounded like Bush II talking about FL in 2000

I was watching Bernie speak yesterday afternoon, and his choice of words eerily reminded me of Bush II talking about FL after the news agencies had called it for Gore. Same choice of words. In case people do not remember, or were too young to vote , or didn't care, Jeb Bush stole that that for his brother. Bernie uses the same words to describe how he is going to take those superdelegates away from Hillary, even though she has more of the popular vote.

Against Sanders if he did manage to sway the supers? And the backlash against the party? After she got 3 million more votes and about 300 more pledged delegates?

Yikes....
