is why, if she's winning by a substantial amount (which she thankfully is!), she should be expected to adopt the loser's platform?

Almost 3 million people prefer HRC; presumably this means they also support her platforms. Wouldn't it be doing these voters a disservice to switch platforms when that's not what they voted for?

I'm tired of hearing the media talk about how Bernie holds the cards. Since when does the losing candidate hold all the cards??
