I always try to find the positive in all our candidates.. but I am finally done

68. That was so incredibly disgusting to me!

I can’t get past it. It discolored my view of him permanently.

One always searches for the “good sport thing” in a case like this. We sure saw it from Amy Klobuchar, Mayor Pete, Beto, Cory Booker, and now, Kamala Harris. Good sports, graciousness, being considerate of their colleagues, the prevailing competitor, and the voters. Kamala’s courtesy toward Warren, not endorsing til the last woman stepped out of the ring, says a lot about her as a person. A lot good.

That’s something we did NOT see from Bernie for half the summer of 2016. They fought all the way to the end of primary season when Hillary decisively clinched the nomination by the numbers. THAT was the time to step up and join her fight. But he STILL wouldn’t give up. He sat things out all the way from the end of primary season to AFTER nomination night. He could have been a MIGHTY force for unity.

Hillary was exactly that, immediately after Obama clinched the nomination by the numbers at the end of the 2008 primary season. She immediately shifted gears to campaigning FOR a former rival, and that probably made a difference in November of that year. She went for unity - of Party, for Country. Bernie on the other hand stuck to pouting and holding out for magical hoards of voters who really never existed. She could have used his help, cementing party unity leading up to the convention instead of having to face a wall of division that rightfully and logically should have given way, but refused to do so.

She tore that wall down in 2008. He kept the wall up long past its sell-by date in 2016.

I hope TO GOD he doesn’t try that stunt again this year.
