I wouldn't be surprised, just hard to tell with all the sore winners here.

It's not like you ever had any good reason to diss Bernie and his campaign.

And it's not as though Bernie or those who supported him have done any harm.

All he and those of us who support him have ever been guilty of is having principles and fighting like hell for them.

Surely he must have had these speeches written long in advance. There must have been at least two.. a "we won!" and a "we lost!". I imagine they had no idea they would lose as bad as they are and perhaps the "we lost" speech is being revised.

But what positive things can he possibly say? Anything less than a short and sweet "we're re-evaluating our campaign" or else a concession will be taken seriously.

transparent and makes them forever untrustworthy for anything in the future, but they know that and its probably why they will all leave after the primaries are over. Rented Democrats.
