1. DWS's address at the Florida delegation's breakfast did not go well.

Steny Hoyer on MSNBC now, crediting DWS chairmanship of the DNC, citing "she saw Obama get elected." Well, no. Howard Dean and the rest of America saw Obama get elected. DWS was chair for his re-election, which is a much easier thing. But, in no case was the chair of the DNC responsible for Obama's success. That would have been Obama and his team. DWS "saw" the 2014 midterms, when DWS refused to say Obama's name and Dem Kentucky Secretary of State Allison Lundergan Grimes, daughter of a state Dem bigwig, refused to say for whom she had voted for President in 2012.

3. WE WANT BERNIE

4. "THANK YOU BERNIE!" "THANK YOU BERNIE!"

Great speech Bernie. I have one observation... I just wish Bernie would have gotten 'real' with these National Delegates of his. I wish he would have talked to them, not at them. When they chanted, "We want Bernie!" I wish he would have acknowledged it. Something like, "I hear you, and yet now we need to all work together for Hillary and Kaine. There is no other viable option." Or some such talk to help shift this group to acceptance of what is. I love Bernie, AND we need to get real and support what is happening.

Anyway, I wish he would have talked 'to them/us', not at them/us.
