She lives and breaths liberalism just as long as it suits her and what's even worse has no moral fortitude to say and do what's right, only what benefits her personally.
Don't give her the dignity of calling her a Republican.
You talk of dignity..and your nominee is Trump. Endless laughter.

I'll take Trump over a pathetic pathological liar who got the rapist of a 12 year old girl off on a legal technicality and then laughed about it while demeaning the victim. Ha Ha!

Congrats to Sanders and Hillary can keep losing support. She fell down again.

I know a win is a win, unless Hilary is disqualified by a highly improbable occurrence, she's the nominee. As Sanders supporter I know any win feels good at this point, but that's all this is; a feel-good moment that changes nothing.
Here we go with the 3 million votes, small state BS again.

Indiana is the size of Massachussets and Arizona and number of votes is totally useless as a talking point when some states have caucuses and different primaries.

By any realistic indicator, Clinton's lead is insurmountable. Even Sanders has all but acknowledged this.
Hillary leads by around 280 delegates, not over 300. And popular votes are totally meaningless when states have completely different rules and setups.

While I dont have a problem with you quitting, I dont understand why you feel the urge to convince others to give up as well. I dont see what you gain by trying to convince others.

Sure, I understand why Sanders wants to finish the game, but he's not going to win. That's my only point.
Its a very narrow path to victory, I dont see the point in trying to convince other fellow supporters to quit like you have.

You missed the point completely. (Or won't acknowledge it. )

That is, Hillary is a very weak candidate.

Dems got what they worked so hard for - Hillary vs Trump. Now I just hope it works out the way it was planned.

I love having an open primary.

Oh, and PENCE MUST GO.
Which is why open primaries are a SHAM!

Many people think that Trump will energize the democrats to come out to vote against him. I'm not so sure.

They keep repeating how Clinton is a sure thing in the general election. That will keep the lazy people home on Election Day.

That, and very few people are excited about Hillary. That will keep the uninspired home on Election Day.

I'm not saying Trump will win, though I hope he does. I'm just saying that Hillary is not the lock that some people think she is. There is plenty of time for Trump to improve his numbers. There is also plenty of time for him to screw things up. One bad incident is all it could take for either candidate to jump the shark.
