1. He cannot give an inch to winner/loser idea. Maybe no one else is turned off by this,

and cool for you. But a year of this, leaves to wonder what is going to be said out loud. I just hope he has the ability to hand the win over because this ... each has two speakers, crap sure does not inspire me at his ability and has me just waiting for what is next.

If they are arm in arm as equal winner, I am gonna puke.

And ya, I go there. Only with a woman nominee must she nurturingly bring the man along as an equal winner.

And Clinton continues to coddle from what I am hearing. So all those that insulted her ability to do this as if it was a negative, she does it for Sanders.

"Only with a woman nominee must she nurturingly bring the man along as an equal winner."

We never thought it was going to look the same, did we?

8. It is beyond being gracious. It is the insistence of coddling ego to equal winner.

That is not how our winning nominee is treated, but what we expect and demand now.

Personally, as an athlete and always competitive, I think it stinks.

I will see what the speeches are, but I say right now, this is not about Sanders, his ego, and pumping himself up. The dialogue is Clinton,. kicking ass forward.

12. In 2008, a privileged white candidate demanded that the Black nominee work to pay off her debts

... in order to concede and endorse the nominee.

Now I said that in the harshest way possible to illustrate a point. I don't think Hillary was being racist when she made and received her requests of Obama when conceding and endorsing, but one could push some buttons if it were phrased to imply such.

You can make this day's events about gender, but maybe it's just two politicians negotiating as best as they for the things that are important to them.

14. Same could have been said about the loser's campaign and larger context.

I know the Bernie hate is strong among some just as HRC hate is still strong among others.

We will both vote for the Democratic nominee for various reasons.
