My "big boss" has been a huge Bernie or Buster

13. Wow! That's great news!

Thank you for sharing that very encouraging tidbit with us, obamanut2012! Sorta restores one's faith!

If it's ever appropriate to do so, please send her our/my appreciation as well.

Hey, it's HARD to get over a loss like this! It's damn HARD!!! I can totally sympathize with Bernie supporters for having come up short. When you have your whole heart set on something and you come up empty at the end, it's the bummer of all bummers! I take that heartbreak very seriously. It's worse than being jilted by your first love, because it involves something so much larger and over-arching. I'd say plenty of Hillary supporters know that feeling, personally, having gone through it themselves at one time or other. Especially in 2008.

And remember how most of us felt when dubya finally "triumphed" in Selection 2000? You wanna talk about feeling miserable? Sheesh...

So I try to keep that in mind. Those who are now finding their way toward supporting Hillary, especially knowing how earnestly they supported Bernie Sanders, I applaud. It's strong, committed, dedicated, and BIG people (and I don't mean their girth or bone structure, either) with their eyes on the prize and the big picture long-term (which also includes both Hillary AND Bernie) who can somehow make this transition successfully. I personally can't make that easier for any of them, much as I might like to. But I CAN appreciate the livin' daylights outta them and express tremendous gratitude.
