Well ye-ah! Remember the 2012 & the 2008 DNConventions? they were a brilliant

mix of our Democratic Party coming together for our Candidate Barack Obama.. who btw has been a successful and popular President @ 53%!

Our Democratic Party is the Party of Senator Chris Murphy who Filibustered to get a vote on banning Assault Rifles.. there better not be anyone @ our Convention.. dissing that party.. someone who couldn't even bother to show up for the historic Filibuster.

Chris Murphy

Al Giordano ?@AlGiordano
US Senator salary: $174,000. Budget for hiring staff: $3 million +. But he's doing a podcast instead of legislating. https://twitter.com/oldladydem/status/743504505505976320

That's what trojan horse tactics are.. not only "change" but disingenuosly Diss it.. demonize

it and Hillary, too.

Dissing the Dems who didn't endorse him as #Establishment, like they're not worthy because they endorsed Hillary. The very Dems who Filibustered last night to get a vote on banning assault rifles.. that he couldn't even be bothered to join them.

He deserves nothing.

Why does everyone always feel the need to post his pic.. we've seen it a few

million times.. I think we know what he looks like.

Sorry..

So.. to the article.. And, just to be clear.. I never expect anything from him.

Money Quote..

His first and most prominent endorsers have jumped off the bandwagon, congratulating and in some cases endorsing Clinton — from Sen. Jeff Merkley to Rep. Raul Grijalva, and from the Communications Workers of America to MoveOn.org .Each of the big-name Democrats and groups who steadfastly remained neutral in the primary have flocked to Clinton over the past week, from President Barack Obama to Sen. Elizabeth Warren to the AFL-CIO. Even Sanders' highest-profile congressional endorsee, Nevada’s Lucy Flores, lost her primary bid on Tuesday despite his cash injection into her campaign.

Gracias, caquillo~

Sorry, BS.. the Revolution began with President Obama.. his is true..and Hillary will

continue it in her way.

All you did was Disingenuously Diss President Obama and try to marginalize him and Disingenuously Demonize Hillary.. so your own ego could start your not so pure revo.. You have no record to stand so you try to smear great Leaders for your advancement.

Guess what?! We see how that worked out. Obama is still going strong @ 53% Favorability and Hillary is going to be Madam POTUS.

Don't come for President Obama or Hillary unless they send for you, burnie.

"Bernie Sanders is revealing egotism of practically Trumpian proportions."

I've seen that written before by writers looking @ BS' dragging this on like he won or something.

As they say at closing time: Bernie, you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.

I Love it.. I hope the DNC is reading this.. Do NOT give burnie one damn thing he DEMANDS.

Having become the surprise man of the moment because his lifetime of droning about a rigged system came into vogue, Sanders has lost acquaintance with the American political system.

Despite the razor-thin margin, Clinton she did not have the gall to suggest that she could pressure the victor to accept any of her platform. She understood, as everyone should, that the winner’s ideas carry the day.

These were choices made of his own free will, not because Clinton insisted that her 18 million votes entitled her to anything.

To cement Sanders’ weakened position, add the demise of the claim — preposterous in the first place — that he would have made a stronger general election candidate against Donald Trump.

Oh Yeah.. Perfect, NYDN!

In new polls, on the strength of national security and gun regulation contrasts with the Republican nominee that Sanders could never make, Clinton has solidified a sizable national lead over Trump.

But that’s less likely to happen if Sanders, sore loser, clings childishly to the fiction that his bypassed ring must be kissed.

HAHA! Oh, he'll cling.. he'll cling.

Mahalo, Her Sister.. NYDN could go on and ON.. Don't Stop!

Thank Goodness.. that "tedious revolution" ended.

Or whatever it was..

President started a real Revolution.. and all BS did was disingenuously diss it.. it wasn't fast enough for him.. wasn't pure enough.

Guess what.. President Obama's is going on and Hillary will continue.. & BS'? Refer to TS Eliot.

Mahalo, Surya~
