to alienate potential voters with the Madame President, Get used to it! thing.

It's a real Fuck You sort of slogan, and I've just gone several rounds about it. The extent to which they haven't a clue that they could be magnanimous in victory is sort of scary. They were in complete denial during the primary season that polls showed Bernie doing much better than she would in many crucial states. Now, when not all polls show her light years ahead of Bernie, they simply dismiss them. They are still in the mindset that his supporters were a mere blip on the radar, and since there's no one else they can vote for, they can do whatever they want.

It's a version of Trump's behavior: I'm the nominee, so you simply have to tolerate anything and everything I do or say.
