"How is is that Hillary gets a second chance at the brass ring when she blew it the first time?"

I also don't think she blew it the first time. She went up against what will go down as one of the greatest campaigns in history.

Hasn't Sanders lost more elections than Clinton has been in? Didn't he then return to run for those same seats again? Do you think Sanders deserved those "brass rings" considering how many times he blew it?

This kind of removes all doubt as to who the talking heads are talking to.
