"They expect to be coddled to the end of it as well." Yes, and that's not going to happen..from my end anyway.

The fact that they even think that this is a close race is a sign of the coddling that they've needed. His entire campaign has been a certificate of participation. He lost by 6+ million votes and over 350+ delegates. That's a good old fashion landslide and the fact that he feels entitled to argue for concessions is disturbing.

I'm going to celebrate that Hillary won and Bernie lost and I'm not going to sugarcoat my glee or coddle anyone else's children because they just learned the rules of the game and realized that they lost 2 months ago.

Not after the attacks on John Lewis and Dolores Huerta. Not after the drudging up of various right wing hit pieces. Not after having to watch and listen to Nina Turner, Susan Sarandon, Shailene Woodley, and Ben Jealous argue with a straight face that because Bernie gets more white college kids then the votes of African American democrats like myself should be ignored because of some polls 6 months out. Not after the legitimization of Cornell West after his disparaging remarks against Barack Obama. Not after the absolute mess that was NVDem's convention. And especially not after, a process that has empowered people of color and women all over the country and resulted in the first female major party nominee has been accused of being rigged because Bernie didn't win certain states.

Hell No!
