In reply to the discussion: Vast Majority of Democrats Want Sanders to Stay in Race: Poll [View all]cynzke
(1,254 posts)Why are we all getting upset over this election cycle. We only have to look back to 1980 to see how contentious it was between Obama and Hillary going into the Democratic Convention. Nothing is concrete until the convention. Hillary was leading in national polls, but Obama won the nomination. We shouldn't assume anything until its over. Conventions are not merely a big party, balloons and confetti. It can be a knock out, dragged out battle. Sanders hits a chord with many potential voters on important issues. Those issues and concerns remain, even if Sanders loses the nomination. It is important not to ignore the message just because you don't like the messenger. We will survive this jumble. It will sort its self out soon enough and we will all come together and focus on November. Be patient.
