Congratulations to Hillary Clinton, her supporters, her DU supporters, S.C., and the AA Community

Have a good night and enjoy the win.

I do think Clinton will win the nomination but I expect Sanders will be in it right down to the wire. We need him and we need his message. We also need to bring the Democratic Party back home to a true progressive message no matter who is running.

I think Sanders has helped Clinton with that. I hope it is for real.

Again, congrats and have a good night.

P.S. Don't enjoy it too long because it will be back to "game on" tomorrow

The problem is the world will be entering such a potentially calamitous time heading into mid-century, that cautious centrism won't cut it, as far as "leadership." (And rightwing reaction is, of course, a death knell....)

I hope Sanders candidacy becomes part of an ongoing conversation and counterweight to center/corporate Democratic "ideals," during the rest of the campaign, and after the party's nominee beats the GOPper in the fall (which better happen, or this entire discussion is more or less "moot....&quot

...well, she's going to have to transcend herself, and her main supporters' expectations, pretty fast, to keep with the times, which will be a-changin'....

Because presidents and their policies will end up in the Court, anyway, especially the progressive policies we seek.

Is that "Keep fighting, Bernie people," or "Keep fighting Bernie, people?"



This is why commas are important.

We're going to have to come back together after the primaries (most of us will, anyway ) and there's nothing to be gained from not being polite and gracious to each other before then. It was a big win; she and her team and her volunteers did a good job. Congratulations!
