Sanders did not steal Hillary's historical moment. Please just stop it!

[floppyboo]

How could Hillary have a moment of celebration when the celebration has been going on for months (some would say 8 years)? It's not a surprise - we've been told the math seems like forever now. You know that bore at the party that keeps repeating the same old stories about that 'whatever' episode from the past - the friend you politely smile and nod at?

What were you expecting? You make your bed, you lie in it.

1. No more so than Hillary stole Obama's moment in 2008

If anything, less so, because he didn't speak until most people had gone to bed. He obviously was speaking primarily to his supporters in the room last night, not the national media.

2. He didn't steal it. He ignored it. It was a historical moment for all Americans.

He's a self centered egotist and can't help himself. Barney Frank was right.

[floppyboo]

3. 'was' a historical moment is the operative word here.

It's a tired, old, beaten rug of a story to most by now. Bernie's campaign still has an ongoing story. I'm glad he shared it. And, yes, it was for his crowd, so, sorry if you felt left out or not particularly special. That feeling you are having, friend, is being egotistical.

6. Bernie's story is the tired old rug from the 60's. nt

9. + a million. There have been other women world leaders

And as a woman I don't think her nomination is anything to do a happy dance about.

If we're going to talk about egotistical people, tell me, how egotistical is is to be running for president just so you can get your damn name in the history books?

4. No one likes a sore winner.

What did you expect the man to do, bow down in worship? Clinton won. Let it go.

[KingFlorez]

11. He could have acted like a normal person and conceded

He's still in the mindset that he can win and is going to keep campaigning. That is ridiculous.

[bklyncowgirl]

12. It is up to Sanders when he drops out.

The man believes in his message but I'm pretty sure he knows he lost. He wants to get something out of his endorsement. Can you blame him?

[bigwillq]

13. Good post.

[BreakfastClub]

5. +1 nt

[demwing]

7. They won't stop, they feed on your frustration

We post "please stop" and they laugh and double down.

The party has gone to hell, and don't forget that the Clintons took it there.

8. Oh my god...

SOMEBODY CALL THE POLICE!



SOMBODY CALL THE WAAAAAAHHHHHMMMMBALAAAANCE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

[demwing]

14. Thank you for proving my point in post #7

I couldn't have asked for a better "next post"

[ChisolmTrailDem]

15. Um, what? lol nt

[Lizzie Poppet]

16. Good ol' Camp Weathervane: always quick on the uptake.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

18. Are you implying that I am a member of Camp Weathervane? If so, you should probably have...

...a look at my avatar and my posting history.

Who's low on the uptake again, exactly?

[Lizzie Poppet]

19. Nope.

Trying for sarcasm and failed...sorry.

[demwing]

20. You belittled the OP for defending Bernie?

Why? It was harsh.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

21. Oh for pete sake! "Sanders did not steal Hillary's historical moment. Please just stop it!"

The OP's subject line implies that some Hillary supporters are whining about Sanders stealing her moment. That's what I was reacting to, not the defense of Sanders.

LOOK AT MY AVATAR FOR FUCK SAKE!

[floppyboo]

23. fyi - i got the sarcasm - no hurt feelings - saw the sig line

I think I've gotten beyond touchy defensive offensive now. Time to do some work! Get the SD to get on record before the GE to denounce the TPP. Hold her feet to the fire!

[floppyboo]

24. My feeling is, if the TPP passes, it will be 4 years of disengagement, or riots. Pick one.

[floppyboo]

25. And just because she's not Pres in the lame duck, doesn't mean she doesn't have endorsed votes

from the SD. If she blames its passage on 'lame duck' or Obama, she will completely discredit herself. She can't do that!!! It would be political suicide.

[demwing]

27. I believe you. Sorry for doubting your post

But in my defense, an avatar is just a pic that anyone could use, you didnt use the sarcasm tag, and it would not have been the worst thing posted today.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

28. Just fucking pay attention. My support for Sanders here is no secret. nt

[demwing]

30. Even when i doubted you, I was civil

Have a good day

[ChisolmTrailDem]

31. I'm having a great day, thank you. nt

[KingFlorez]

10. He created his own moment

And it was not a good look. This floor fight he's planning at the convention is going to result in him looking extremely pathetic.

[GoneFishin]

26. Then it is of no concern to you. Good, we're all happy.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

29. So, demanding that our leaders put people first is pathetic. Got it, and your number. nt

[geek tragedy]

17. he didnt' steal it, he was irrelevant to it.

last night was her night, not his

[floppyboo]

22. many reason to celebrate last night!

many ways to measure success - and I think the democratic party, in balance, won. Hillary's supporters are recognized for their terrific support, and Bernie's supporters are recognized for their contribution to saving the democratic party.

[MariaThinks]

32. Hillary is too classy to let that happen. She knows that most of the world now know she is the

nominee.

So why let someone who can't add straight ruin the moment women have been working so long and hard to achieve.

[tonyt53]

33. No, no he didn't. All Bernie did was show his ass and true self.
