Ugh, I can't believe I'm saying this to the most optimistic and enthusiastic group of supporters that any campaign has ever seen but...
YOU'VE GOT TO CALM DOWN AND COME BACK TO REALITY. I LOVE YOU, but please, sit down for a moment and stop with the pessimism, it's contagious and it's hurtful to our campaign.
Remember what we've been saying for WEEKS? This is Hillary's LAST GOOD DAY.
But then we won Michigan, and honestly, I think we let it get to our heads. We got overconfident and we invested a lot of emotion into tonight.
Originally, Bernie was not supposed to do well this day anyways.
It is AFTER THIS DAY, that Bernie is going to excel. We've known this, we have the data to prove it. All we had for tonight was the positive high of pulling off Michigan's upset.
So for the love of Bernie, PULL IT TOGETHER. This was expected for weeks. Don't let Michigan's win distort your reality.
We're still climbing and she's still falling. That reality hasn't changed. Stay the course.
Now snap out of it. We're fine.
ETA: And you know what? We were optimistic about winning EVEN WHEN WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO LOSE MICHIGAN AND TODAY. So why the fuck is anyone upset that we ACTUALLY won Michigan and might not lose everything today? GAH.
