Very well said lastone Jun 2016 #1

I'd like to thank Hillary... GoldenThunder Jun 2016 #85

The media did it. DURHAM D Jun 2016 #2

The media got the information from the campaign and the SDs Fumesucker Jun 2016 #6

AP called the SDs directly. DURHAM D Jun 2016 #9

The Clintons are famously retributive, no one would have blabbed if they thought it wasn't wanted Fumesucker Jun 2016 #15

Not just AP. passiveporcupine Jun 2016 #63

They did not get it from the campaign. LiberalFighter Jun 2016 #10

Facts are irrelevant at this point. The dude lost and they can't accept reality. Do you BreakfastClub Jun 2016 #48

I'm not just talking about the media(I thank you for the sentiment, though). Ken Burch Jun 2016 #13

That's not fair. We're merely celebrating the news of Hillary's presumptive nomination. Trust Buster Jun 2016 #3

You're being spiteful and ugly about it. Ken Burch Jun 2016 #17

I've only read positive Hillary comments and calls to unite. This is a mischaracterization IMO. Trust Buster Jun 2016 #22

I encourage Sanders voters to join in! Adrahil Jun 2016 #32

Of course not. None of HIllary's supporters who are financially ok want Bernie's policies adigal Jun 2016 #92

you forgot to mention ANY self-sabotaging behavior. If you mean ABC that's not her doing msongs Jun 2016 #5

Equivocating Trump and Hillary makes you look foolish. redstateblues Jun 2016 #14

I believe you mean "equating" rather than equivocating. hedda_foil Jun 2016 #42

I'm more than glad to oblige Gman Jun 2016 #8

Personally, I think there needs to be as many progressives in the Senate and House. LiberalFighter Jun 2016 #16

I still agree with that thinking Gman Jun 2016 #20

That is the tricky part. As to how she would be replaced. LiberalFighter Jun 2016 #26

Don't blame you one bit Gman Jun 2016 #89

It won't. Lizzie Poppet Jun 2016 #43

It would also get that difficult, difficult woman out of the Senate Fumesucker Jun 2016 #23

That's a pretty negative way of viewing it Gman Jun 2016 #25

So many things are a matter of perspective Fumesucker Jun 2016 #45

It's good to walk away from it Gman Jun 2016 #58

You've heard of The Associated Press? They are not the Hillary Clinton campaign. TeamPooka Jun 2016 #28

CNN has called it today too. passiveporcupine Jun 2016 #65

They are copycats. Once it's a story they all follow each other. TeamPooka Jun 2016 #76

Historic moment. Glass ceiling shattered. Deal with it! grossproffit Jun 2016 #35

None of us opposed HRC because of her gender. None of us was against having a woman president. Ken Burch Jun 2016 #40

None? Come on. grossproffit Jun 2016 #52

In the Sanders campaign, none. Ken Burch Jun 2016 #55

Because it's not reality. You can't speak for everyone. There's been plenty of misogyny and sexism grossproffit Jun 2016 #57

1000 % gender NOT an issue . TheFarS1de Jun 2016 #62
