Shaheen: "Within single digits is a win here"

"You talked about Gene McCarthy and how he did better than how anyone thought he would and that was a win even though LBJ won"

After interview
Brian Williams- "When did a win stop being a win?"


Really effing surprised. Since we were told all week what a win ACTUALLY is. To be honest, I'm not surprised.

I am losing track of the double standards the Clinton campaign employees to try and justify her candidacy.

So what The hell. So, Sanders "loses" Iowa by 3 tenths of a delegate but Clinton "wins" New Hampshire with anything that puts her just single digits behind????

Must be nice to have it both ways....like being a moderate and a progressive.

Your words about the 0.2% victory


Obviously no self-respecting Bernie fan will take this loss without making a bunch of excuses. But at the end of the day, Hillary won.
