Stay Strong Bernie Sanders Campaign -

Here's what facts I think matter in the "grand scheme of things"

Huge crowds at the Sanders rallies.
Record breaking donations by individuals to Sanders.
Primary results that are extremely close in several states -and the majority of the states have not had their primaries yet.
Polls that show Sanders defeating Trump in greater numbers than Clinton.
Sanders speaking AGAINST the TPP and Citizens United.

And just a few things I've noticed:

Cable News channels showing an empty podium for Trump rather than giving airtime to Sanders concession speech.
Clinton "pivoting" her campaign against Trump, dismissing Sanders.
Several Clinton spokespersons speaking about her inevitability to win the General Election.
President Obama - not sure how correct this is, but this news is out there - suggesting that donors should back Clinton.

Stay strong Bernie, and the wonderful people who are campaigning for Sanders, and the millions of people who support Sanders! This is far from over.

Touchy much?

Seriously? THIS bothers you? Does Bernie's campaign (and by association, his supporters) actually need that kind of validation? Is it that important that Hillary "pay attention to him"?

that doesn't "bother" me dear. She can focus on the general election all she wants. What "bothers" me - no wait - sickens me is HONDURAS
