Why are Hillary supporters so nervous and angry? [View all]

They keep doing the "math" and grumbling like Captain Queeg rolling the steel balls in his hands and complaining about "disloyalty"

After Back Bench Bernie's Indiana win last night,......which netted him about 5-7 net delegates and about a 40,000 vote gain on the 3+ million vote margin that Hillary has over him, I'm reminded a quote from Macbeth. To me, it not only symbolizes the Indiana win, but the more I think of it, the entire Sanders campaign!

"...a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

This is what Sanders has allowed his campaign to become. When he finally DOES face reality, I expect that his most rabid supporters will turn on him. He will get no sympathy from me, and the likely hood of my choosing to ever respect him again shrinks with each passing moment.


Of course, this famous speech from MacBeth begins with the announcement:

"The queen, my lord, is dead."
