Bernie Sanders, because his campaign is over already, whether he's still running or not.

I lived through 2008's primary on the losing side, so I know what it's like. It's just too soon to expect the supporters to come around, especially with all the Revolution Media employees hidden among them. I read an article once about ending a campaign, and how for someone who lost, it's almost like the death of a person close to you. We joke, but there really are stages of grief after a dedicated campaign that is unsuccessful.

Just let them work through it, even the anger. Our candidate will become our nominee, so we've got nothing to fret about.

Judging by Clinton's outreach in her speeches this week, she's showing respect. displacedtexan Apr 2016 #4

She did hit him a little, and I think that's why he went negative again Bluerome Apr 2016 #9

She hit him with his inability to explain... Blanks Apr 2016 #28

She hit him on the gun issue again Bluerome Apr 2016 #29

It's step one. It is an admission that he will support her and that he knows he's lost. Squinch Apr 2016 #5

I agree, it sounds like a concession Bluerome Apr 2016 #7

Now she offers something to him so he can save face and his followers can tell themselves Squinch Apr 2016 #11

He does seem to have a temper, but hopefully Bluerome Apr 2016 #14

I am prepared for the worst. But that is a very profound statement you made! Squinch Apr 2016 #25
