And yes, I LOVE "King of Hearts" - it was a very sweet movie!
For all intents and purposes, the primary is over and by any and all measures, Hillary has won. Period.
I realize that many may be very disappointed at that outcome. I was on the "losing side" in 2008 and remember how it feels, even though I also liked Barack Obama and fully threw my support behind him once Hillary had conceded, as she so graciously did. I firmly believe that the overwhelming majority of those who are now disappointed are willing to join us to fight the good fight against Trump and all the odious things he represents, if not now - at least sometime before November. I will welcome them with open arms - whenever.
But I don't remember anyone coddling ME in 2008 when we had only a comparatively small difference between the winner and the loser. I was simply expected to "suck it up" - and I did. In 2016, when we have a "YUGE" difference between the winner and the loser, it seems that for some because the winner is a woman, then SHE (and her supporters) must make all the concessions.
There is something wrong with such a picture, IMO.
