And the emails would not exist!
Party is still split. Those that donated to Bernie (the DU had 2,108 donations totaling $77,149.00 plus former DUers took it over $100,000) will have a hard time trusting the DNC with $ in the future.
Remember Hillary kept running right through California?

The remark in question was originally made to the editorial board of a newspaper in May 2008 in response to questions about why Clinton remained in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination seemingly past the point of having any real chance of winning it:
Hillary Clinton cited the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy during the 1968 presidential campaign to explain why she was remaining in the race despite long odds.
We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California, Clinton told the editorial board of a South Dakota newspaper. I dont understand it, Clinton added, alluding to the calls for her to quit.
Clinton made the statement after pointing out that her husband didnt lock up the nomination until June of 1992, trying to point out that, by past history, its not late in the campaign.
But Barack Obama received Secret Service protection one year ago, the earliest ever in presidential history, after reports of threats.
Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement: Sen. Clintons statement before the Argus Leader editorial board was unfortunate and has no place in this campaign.

No. Why should the party have disavowed the woman who had been loyal to the party

I disagree. The party had good reason to believe that she was poised on the edge of winning

I was truly shocked when Hillary made that remark about the assassination of Bobby Kennedy.

How is asking them to take a hard look at themselves equal to "hating" and "attacking"?

Even though that sign is 100% accurate, lets not forget that Trump won the White female vote too

I disagree. The election was all about Comey and the corrupted FBI. HRC kicked Trump's ass
