Just want to say I'm celebrating Hillary winning tonight not Bernie losing...

[Godhumor]

There is a big difference. Some people here would be wise to do the same.

1. Same here.

I can't wait for her to start attacking tRump.

[Firebrand Gary]

2. Yes, me too! Bernie has run an incredible campaign!

He and his staff deserve major credit for that!

[PeaceNikki]

3. Yup!

[Scootaloo]

4. Don't worry. Your fellows are already more than making up for your exception.

[Godhumor]

6. Well aware

And not happy about it.

[Scootaloo]

9. It's like I said elsewhere

it's a good look into what's really inside some people.

[DCBob]

5. Totally.

[Bleacher Creature]

7. Same here. Bernie made her a better candidate.

As long as he doesn't prolong the inevitable, he will have played a very positive role in this cycle.

13. "Bernie made her a better candidate". Do you really not see...

...what's wrong with this attitude?

[Bleacher Creature]

17. How can you possibly misconstrue that statement?

His presence forced her to sharpen and refine her arguments. The numerous and high-minded debates will serve her well this fall. And yes, a push from the left didn't hurt as it helped her to realize the value of espousing progressive positions.

The exact same thing happened in 2008, only in reverse. President Obama is the first to admit that the primary made him a more formidable candidate in the general.

I'm happy to be gracious, but these sour grapes are embarrassing.

19. Since the beginning...

...of this primary season the "make her better", "push her left" comments have really bothered me. Why would anyone support someone who needs to be "made better" or "pushed left" when there's someone available who's already there? It's not sour grapes, it's that, for me, it plays to her consistency issues that I have a real problem with.

[Bleacher Creature]

20. It's because we live in a democracy. Public support matters.

I firmly believe that she's a progressive at heart. I also recognize that she's highly pragmatic and tends to follow the polls when doing so means that she gets to live to fight another day.

The "make me do it" concept goes all the way back to FDR. I've made my peace with it, and so have a lot of liberals.

This article makes the point a lot better than I can do it.

8. K & R enthusiastically.

[Armstead]

10. You've been a class act lately

[Godhumor]

12. I'm trying

I don't post things like I did the other day without meaning it.

Thanks. Means a lot.

[Armstead]

14. I on the other hand am being a sore loser shithead

[Godhumor]

15. Nah, just read your post. It is very understandable

It can be a gut punch. But next week starts the good weeks for Bernie.

[erlewyne]

11. I'm waiting for the fat lady to sing ...

Still waiting

[JonLeibowitz]

16. You've been a classy one, Godhumor.

I'm trying to live up to some of the good standards here, but it's tough.

But you have every reason to celebrate her victory. They were decisive.

Peace.

18. i guess the posts i am seeing tonight

reflect the quality of my ignore list. most, if not all, of the hillary people i can see are happy but not gloating, just as i would be happy if it had gone the other way.

they like their candidate but not at the expense of tearing down the other guy....

ignore lists....its a good thing....
