138. She did. What HRC did in 2008 was good for the party.

What Sanders is doing now is terrible for the party.

She conceded when she was ahead in popular votes, when Obama did not have the delegates for nomination. And SHE personally nominated him!!

Now Sanders is way behind, and he's going to make a stink?!

I do not understand what has gotten into him. I always respected and admired him. Is this egomania? A Messiah complex? Greed? Jane? It's shocking to me.
