87. We already suffered enough damage...

from all those "uncommitted" voters. The ones that were encouraged to do so in the primary for President and it carried right over into GE. That in itself caused far more damage than a Gillibrand rant or a Clinton endorsement and it gave us trump.

Oh, I have heard the spin they were just making a point and "uncommitted" wasn't a vote for trump...however it did indeed give us trump. I for one will never forgive or forget what we lost because a few people in power decided to play a game in the most crucial election of our lifetime. You know who they are, no need for me to name them.
