1. Hillary should have come to defense of Sanders and O'Malley. Immediately.

2. BLM should have made it crystal clear that even Hillary is part of of the problem.

Those two very simple things would have healed this over faster than 3x antibiotic. Instead, I now see that Clinton and her team took great pleasure at the infection which developed.

Meanwhile, every other word from Bernie is defending his running mates.

There is no simple "win them over". That time has past.

Now - if anyone at BLM and Hillary's team who is reading this post will issue the two statements I have outlined above, then I will be happy to credit them for doing the right thing.

Let's see.
