but, holy cow, we have not counted a vote yet.

Just as many of us on this board were telling the Hillarians that poll results don't win a nomination, we have to remind ourselves of the same fact. Our candidate is great at staying focused on the long term program -- we should follow his example.


But it is undeniably entertaining to see all that smug Hillary taunting from October and November evaporating as we near the time when they actually do count the votes. You'd think they would admit their error -- but the constant repetition of Hillary Is Going to Win!!! was never an opinion in the first place. It was a tactic -- a silly tactic at that -- to try to dispel the gathering enthusiasm for Sanders.

We don't need to worry about knocking down their enthusiasm -- they never had that going for them in the first place. And now they are reduced to arguing that Hillary is better because she does NOT enthuse anybody.

Good luck with that . . . .
