I don't even get anyone who thinks she didn't. Makes no sense, unless you are DEEP into the CT.

you could tell he was in awe of him.

And, at the end, he had the unspoken reaction I had - "WTF can't we be going to battle with this guy?"

I voted Bernie because he was most right on the issues, and speaks to progressive policy unabashedly (he has balls, something most democratic pols are missing).

But, I always knew Hillary was going to win the nomination.

Just the way it was going to be.

Problem is, there were a lot of rabid Berners willing to bash good, long-time Democrats, etc.

Appreciate you post.

She isn't the centrist in the race, she never was. He didn't move her to the left or force her to stay there. Other than that, nice mini rant.
