...the difference being, he actually won his party's nomination handily. Amazing

Try to see things from the point of view of the voters themselves -whether you like it or not, they clearly prefer Clinton to Sanders. It's a simple fact.

He had no problem with superdelegates being counted well before the convention that year.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's out by the end of next week and endorsing Clinton.

Sanders has given a good run, indeed the most impressive run by the most progressive Democratic candidate during my long-ish lifetime. I hope he sticks to his guns through the Convention. There is nothing puerile about that, but you are free to project all you want.

You want puerile? Fine. I still believe in the indictment fairy.



Of course, if James Comey also believes in the indictment fairy, shit gets serious...

The only Democrat who did the groundwork, formed alliances and partners and prepared for the Primary.

Whereas Sanders has fewer endorsements from his co-workers than Ted Cruz and apparently did nothing to prepare before hurriedly changing his party affiliation to Democrat.

You can say what you want about Sanders being a better or truer Democrat than Clinton but face facts: he did not do the prep work he needed to do. No one is going to be President who doesn't even have the support of his colleagues.

Really low class to call her the "presumptuous nominee".

The statement being made here is about you personally, not Clinton.
