Who would have thought that? These are both things they have recently talked about and are implementing. Originally is was a point of principle that they wouldn't. I believe it is necessary for someone who cares and is very principled. They owe it to their supporters. I think it is too late in the game for them to really start working on networking in a meaningful way but I'm sure they have started making the effort.

I know one of the emails I read really took me back. It hurt to read. I'm sure there are more of them out there.

(34,825 posts)I think Sanders did make a mistake by not differentiating himself earlier from Clinton. It seems like everyone thinks the two are essentially the same, but Clinton is somehow more electable.
Running in Vermont is way different than running a national campaign. As someone who's given money, I'd be more upset if he didn't adjust and do everything in his power to compete for this nomination.
