This attempted "discouragement" is funny-Obama lost NV by greater margins in 2008. Sanders closed a fairly Large gap in NV.

I see this as a glass half-full, not Any reason to be discouraged or to give up. It's time to dig in.
Anyone who believed either camp was going to take 100% of the primary's is delusional.
This is a real race-and a close one to boot, considering Clinton has fame MSM bias in her favor and name recognition that Bernie does not enjoy.
I'm supporting the candidate the Dem establishment, wall street et al Don't want and fight Against. "They're" fighting against our best interests - imo
