"single payer" to the American public back in the nineties, and got excoriated for it.

I think candidates who come along and act like they invented the wheel may want to see how others who hit the national scene well before them have been rolling along.

Losers don't get to decide how winners fight their battles.

Clinton understands the politics of the possible, which is why she won so decisively. She is the best candidate, and that's why she'll win the general election.

Sanders can look childish and churlish by continuing to pretend that the has a "campaign" still in play, or he can display a measure of grace and concede like an adult. He'll catch more flies with a little honey, as opposed to the vinegar he's spitting--he's trashing his own legacy, but that's his choice. Even some of his own supporters are taking issue with his surly attitude, to say nothing of his failure to stand with his fellow Dems in the Senate the other day.
