Do you wonder why some Sander supporters have a difficult time accepting he will lose? You really have to look no further than the candidate himself.

You see, leaders lead by example. His actions have a direct impact on how his supporters behave. Sorry, but this is the truth. So when he goes on the Young Turks and tells them Clinton’s strategy is to announce the race is over after NJ votes, he only gins up his most ardent supporters. Those supporters who can’t face reality and accept he lost this contest fair and square.

How dare she claim victory like Barack Obama did in 2008!

.@BernieSanders tells @TheYoungTurks the "Clinton strategy" is to announce the race is "over" after New Jersey votes on June 7.

Nate Silver replied to this tweet and he couldn't have been more spot on in his response. Hillary Clinton has more pledged delegates and 3 million more votes.

Silly details, but as most of us know this is exactly how you win elections.

Clinton "strategy" is to persuade more "people" to "vote" for her, hence producing "majority" of "delegates".


What Hillary Clinton will announce on June 7th, after NJ is called, will be absolutely no different than what happened in 2008.

Barack Obama claimed the Democratic nomination in Minnesota on June 3rd, 2008. He was right to do so, no matter what Hillary or her supporters thought.

You know why? Once again, refer to the voters. There is nothing rigged when you win more states, pledged delegates and votes. You win, period.
...
Because of you, tonight I can stand here and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for the President of the United States of America.

We don’t choose our party’s nominee based on polling, or claiming the system is rigged, or saying it’s dumb or by a minority of vocal supporters who are unable to graciously accept defeat.





Reality,is what it is .....

That's sanders' 'tude.. but Hillary will do exactly what she wants and won't be worrying about offending BS.. who's too easily disingenuously offended by far.

And, TYT? Please.. lol

BS could have had an important movement if he hadn't squandered his credibility because he's not recognizing reality.. and demonized Hillary. I sure as hell don't care about his damn rants..

President Obama's got this and now so does Hillary.

Mahalo, Iaaa~
