3. President Obama won a very comfortable victory in 2012 ...

... over Mitt Romney. His margin of victory was 5 million votes in a nation-wide election involving Democrats, evil Republicans, weirdo Libertarians and lazy Greens.

After the last vote in the District of Columbia is cast, Secretary Clinton will have won by nearly 4 million votes in a primary!

This is going to be a wave election in November. Hold onto your hats, folks, strap in, and help Hillary get us a House of Representatives.

A recent poll found that 72% of Sanders supporters will vote for Clinton.

The Bernie or Busters, you just have to leave them to their sour grapes.

Hillary and Democratic Party just made history — nominating a woman, who just happens to be the most capable and preferred candidate of the electorate.

I'm very proud of the party. We keep making history — first a black man, now the first woman.

Woohoo!

All in for Hillary

I've also seen many Bernie supporters on social media saying that while Hillary was not their candidate, they couldn't not vote for her and allow Trump to destroy this country and Scaliaize the Supreme Court.

As my niece said to me earlier this evening, MOST Sanders supporters know what time it is ....and that it's NEVER a time to ever vote for a NOT FIT TO BE IN THE OVAL OFFICE DONALD TRUMP

The man is a bum.

Almost everything he says is a projection! Any adjective he'll use about HRC will really be about him!

he lost big, this was not any where near a close primary race between hillary and him

and this without any vetting of sanders at all as we have discussed, he would be obliterated in a general election

have had a ground game that got your people the right ballots, maybe you should not have condoned your supporters calling Sen. Boxer and Sen Feinstein ugly names...Maybe you should not have sued everyone...maybe you should have been a stronger candidate because my 'girl' Hillary just beat the living daylights out of you!

bring the party together. His supporters, primarily younger ones and male, are telling pollsters they either won't vote for her or are undecided or will vote third party. If you see the polls of Bernie and Hillary vs. Trump, Trump doesn't a much higher percentage against Hillary than he does against Bernie. It's just Bernie backers still not willing to say they will vote for her because they are still in primary mode.
