Where is the humility?

In November 1980, Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale conceded while people were still standing in line in California, Arizona, Oregon and Washington.

Jimmy Carter was gracious and dignified and said he was bowing to the voters' will because a vast majority of them had already decided that Ronald Reagan should be POTUS. He then congratulated Reagan and offered his full support to make him successful for the good of the country.

Bernie, where is your humility and your respect for the will of the majority? If it exists, it is time to show it.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

This is a fact people have to steel themselves to face, particularly well-meaning supporters of this man.

Sanders sent a note this morning to supporters that he and his wife are going to Vermont today and meeting with supporters to make decisions. Unpleasant comments directed at Sanders supporters and Sanders here need to stop. How can we come together should be the common topic. Can you give it a rest, please?

He'a a candidate for POTUS. Like ALL candidates, he will have some less than pleasant things said about him, just as his supporters express the same for other candidates.
