And though Bernie's NOT a Democrat, he ran as a Democrat. And he lost….to Hillary (a true Democrat).

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But NOT their own facts. <looking squarely at Sanders and his supporters>

Here are the facts: To date, she's beating him by nearly 4 MILLION votes:

Clinton – 15,729,913 votes

Sanders – 12,009,562 votes

Time for Sanders to bow out and get on with doing his part to unite the party as he's said he would do.

Excerpts:

If a party could declare moral bankruptcy, today’s Republican Party would be in Chapter 11.

This party needs to just shut itself down and start over — now. Seriously, someone please start a New Republican Party!

America needs a healthy two-party system. America needs a healthy center-right party to ensure that the Democrats remain a healthy center-left party. America needs a center-right party ready to offer market-based solutions to issues like climate change. America needs a center-right party that will support common-sense gun laws. America needs a center-right party that will support common-sense fiscal policy. America needs a center-right party to support both free trade and aid to workers impacted by it. America needs a center-right party that appreciates how much more complicated foreign policy is today, when you have to manage weak and collapsing nations, not just muscle strong ones.

But this Republican Party is none of those things. Today’s G.O.P. is to governing what Trump University is to education — an ethically challenged enterprise that enriches and perpetuates itself by shedding all pretense of standing for real principles, or a truly relevant value proposition, and instead plays on the ignorance and fears of the public.

It is just an empty shell, selling pieces of itself to the highest bidders, — policy by policy — a little to the Tea Party over here, a little to Big Oil over there, a little to the gun lobby, to antitax zealots, to climate-change deniers. And before you know it, the party stands for an incoherent mess of ideas unrelated to any theory of where the world is going or how America actually becomes great again in the 21st century.

It becomes instead a coalition of men and women who sell pieces of their brand to whoever can most energize their base in order for them to get re-elected in order for them to sell more pieces of their brand in order to get re-elected.

And we know just how little they are attached to any principles, because today’s Republican Party’s elders have told us so by (with a few notable exceptions) being so willing to throw their support behind a presidential candidate whom they know is utterly ignorant of policy, has done no homework, has engaged in racist attacks on a sitting judge, has mocked a disabled reporter, has impugned an entire religious community, and has tossed off ignorant proposals for walls, for letting allies go it alone and go nuclear and for overturning trade treaties, rules of war and nuclear agreements in ways that would be wildly destabilizing if he took office. […] Thomas Friedman, NYTimes writer (and Republican)

The Republican leadership has truly done themselves…and their party…in. It's quite something to witness.

Trump IS who he IS. Period. And NO amount of wishing and hoping, on the part of the Repub leadership, that Trump will suddenly become someone other than who he is….a man who is totally "Unfit" for the office of the presidency…will make it so.

In fact, because Trump IS who he is, and he cannot help himself, he will spend from now until November proving that very point, over and over and over again. Of that I am sure.

The man serves a constituency of One…and only One.

Himself.

Hear-Hear!..DJ.

I stayed up last night until the polls in California closed and it was clear she was going to wrap-up her great night by winning that state also. Btw- I knew she was going to win California despite the media babbling on about pre-primary "polls" showing a supposed "dead-heat" race between she and Sanders the past week or so. She beat him 56% to 43.1%..

I'm just incredibly Proud of her, as a woman, as a Democrat and, most importantly, as an American!

Leaving aside her support from most of the Super-delegates…………………

The truth is, Hillary won this nomination fair and square in both pledged delegates AND overwhelmingly in Popular votes. And there are still more votes to be added coming in the final contest next week in D.C.

All in all, an Outstanding achievement, for her, for the Democrat Party and most assuredly for this Great nation and Our history!
