Vermont (and Indiana and Kentucky)

MSNBC calling Vermont for Secretary Clinton!  Indiana and Kentucky, not surprisingly, Trump.

Come to Jesus, Senator Sanders, Because the Mountain Has Already Come to Muhammad

In an effort to give Senator Sanders the opportunity to address his supporters tonight, I will reserve comment concerning any refusal on his part to officially drop out of the race thus far.  With a resounding victory in the Washington, DC primary yesterday, some 80% to 20%, Secretary Clinton finished the Democratic presidential primary still the clear winner on all counts.
Senator Sanders met with Secretary Clinton last evening at his request and has scheduled an 8:30pm EST address from Burlington to his supporters.
I'm hearing he had made demands.
What loser gets to make demands?
Comments tomorrow will be reflective on how he chooses to leave this race.
Whether he bows out semi-gracefully, as gracefully passed when he refused to leave six weeks or longer ago when it was clear he had no path, or attempts to stay in a race where everyone has already gone home knowing the winner, will dictate the tone of my comments.

Put Out the Fire

I've remained somewhat quiet this primary season.
Seeing how there is but one actual Democrat running for the nomination, it's clear who I support.
Secretary Clinton has spent her entire political life building behind the scenes coalitions to make real progress.
Not just vote against everything as a way to promote a fantasy socialist agenda, then take credit when portions of legislation fail.
The bigger picture.  That's what the Independent Senator from Vermont refuses to see.  Which is why in nearly 30 years in Congress (which by any standards would qualify as 'establishment') the supporter of Fidel Castro socialism has been one of two of the most ineffective members of Congress.
In our democratic republic, incremental change is what makes us great.  Tempered moderation and a little give and take.
It's time Democrats send this geriatric, unsuccessful, delusional man with obvious early signs of dementia (based solely on his insistence he still, or ever, has a chance to win the nomination) back to his beloved maple syrup-loving state of Vermont and allow the responsible adults who have worked to bring about a better America proceed to a November victory.
Go home Bernard!
