Yeah, I think this one went more smoothly and less contentiously than in 2016. And that means thank-you's go out to EVERYONE HERE!

This time was much better BY FAR. Dare I say it was because Bernie supporters this time were as civil and cordial as can be. They proved we can have differences of opinion without verbal napalm or running many of us (including me) off this board. And it was THEIR behavior, this time, that did NOT trigger any reactive response that would start the verbal knives and bullets and fists flying. That was not the case last time. I give the Bernie folks here the main credit for that, this time. What a welcome change!

Hey, DU Bernie supporters - you have my thanks and my appreciation. You represented your man in a positive way, which reflected well on him.
