Can you even imagine if Bernie had won by double digits, and then Hillary said

Last edited Thu Jun 16, 2016, 10:30 PM - Edit history (1)

she wouldn't concede and endorse him if he didn't adopt her policies and let her change the DNC rules? Well, no, you can't, because Hillary would never do anything so selfishly ego-driven and irresponsible. But if she did, can you imagine how Bernie's campaign and his supporters would react? You think Bernie would say, OK, Hillary, sounds good, we'll take out free college and drop to $12, after all, you did get almost 45% of the votes, so you get to drive the agenda. No.

He's so full of himself. He really believes that he is the one true righteous person, so that even after the voters resoundingly rejected him in favor of Hillary, somehow he still gets to call the shots. He's not a "democratic" socialist at all, because "democracy" means heeding the will of the voters, who just got done telling him over and over that they don't want him.

Why would AP. called an election before any voting happened?

Next -Hillary took ownership of votes never counted and votes that were suppressed.

There is a law suite pending this outcome...

Could you imagine if Sanders was handed and took a state called for him the day before the primary, and then took it before the votes were counted?

Which is what the press always does when a candidate clinches a majority of delegates.

Voted for him, have red his books, and have followed him for 20+ years, but Bernie can screw right off. And his blind supporters can too, Hillary doesn't need you to win.
