2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI don't think it was fair to interview Sanders delegates on camera right after the speech...
and demand to know right then if they were going to vote HRC
This was an emotional night for those delegates, and they were going through a mourning process on camera.
Give it a couple of days.
It will all come together.

Bernie did everything he could tonight to help HRC.
The evening ended well.

(25,406 posts)Anyone who disagrees with Bernie on something so fundamental as to whom the next president should be is not really a true Bernie supporter.

(3,825 posts)as I just witnessed in those last three interview with supposed Bernie Sanders supporters. My brain hurts that this is the best they could come up with.

They can easily screen interview subjects to get the responses they want.

(44,173 posts)Hillary gave an excellent speech on behalf of Obama in Denver, the crowd was roused, the anchors were praising it from the peanut gallery,
Yet some CNN or MSNBC (I don't remember) reporter just had to find one Hillary delegate who was crying, a grandmotherly looking woman who said while she wouldn't vote for McCain, she just didn't know what she would do in November.

A lot if us who put in hundreds of hours registering voters and turning out votes up and down the ticket would have liked the privilege of participating in the convention.
