Bernie will not be the nominee - we all know that now. Continuing to bash HRC no longer serves any useful purpose. It will not change any Hillary-supporter's mind and encourage them to vote for Bernie is the upcoming contests - and even if it did, it wouldn't change the fact that Bernie has already lost the nomination.

So what is your point in posting this exactly? What are you hoping to accomplish?
