such to the point that she's had multiple time outs for not being able to play nice with others, it's kind of a reap what you sow situation.

But it's really annoying that so many people are threatening to not for the Democratic nominee if it's Clinton because they are so deluded that this is some conspiracy on the part of the DNC that they somehow made Sanders campaign staff do this. It shows a real disconnect from reality that they are so convinced that Sanders is pure goodness and Clinton is pure evil that it's hard to take them seriously.
