His greatest responsibility will be to set it straight that Hillary won fair and square.

He believes she and all colleagues who aren't with him are corrupt, per colleagues long ago and staffers now...

How does it feel to know that it was people like you who cost Sanders votes?

Second only to Trump, of course. But, give it time and she might supersede Trump's unpopularity.

And prompts generosity more easily. That said, as a Bernie supporter, I thought Hillary's comments about Bernie were incredibly gracious. Earlier in the day, I heard Barbara Boxer on NPR, and she too did nothing but heap praise on Bernie. There's a lot of effort being made in the HRC camp at conciliation and unity, and it's great to see. The failure of some Bernie supporters to recognize that is boorish.

corrupt she is, how the election was stolen, all the evil conspiracies constantly directed against Sanders, what seems boorish to us becomes understandable as highly principled to true believers. It might even be boorish to expect anything else but refusal to shake such a dirty hand.

butthurt.

The crazy far left can't believe they had to yield to the will of actual voters when they are so much smarter than the tweet of us.

No, Clinton won millions more votes. Fair and square.


Very obviously Bernie and his diehards want a result they didn't earn, for no good reason other than pure entitlement.

Amazing disdain for the democratic process, typical white privilege. The voters chose Hillary. Period. By a wide margin.

I'd have 30 people alerting my post and telling me that I'm making it impossible for the Bernie person to ever vote for Hillary.

There is no easier way to explain it. It is what it is.

Hillary is a corrupt politician that I cannot trust.

And those cheers are fake as hell. You Hillary folks spent over a year labeling us as "sexists" or "silly young people who just want free stuff." But now when you are worried about party unity...you start cheering for us? Save your cheers. They won't magically make us like your candidate.
