...to hide out. This is totally sad.

We are winning -- but the Sanders Cult has taken a lot of the joy out of it. And they're proud of it.

Fortunately, Sanders himself is a long-time politician who is right now dickering with other politicians over what he can get on behalf of the movement he started. If his more fevered followers can grow up a bit and see this as reality and not a betrayal (I swear some of them think he should "bern" himself on the Capitol steps shouting "Nevah surrendah!&quot we might be able to make some progress -- even Progressive progress.
