If the haters want to focus on ONE sentence from one speaker, which he has apologized for, then

let them.

One sentence from one speaker out of many speakers to a crowd of up to 48k people.
(I know it wasn't as big as the concert for Bangladesh )

Seriously - what else are the going to say after Bernie wins the endorsement of the NY Transit workers & their 10s of thousands of people; when Bernie was greeted with enthusiam by the Verizon workers on strike, and now this humongous rally?

We used to have a saying here in 2008. If it stinks, let it sink.


Bernie supporters have a lot to celebrate today - LET THIS SINK.

Nothing to see here, no responsibility. Don't you see this is the Hillary way.

It's been quite eye opening reading posts on DU. I came on tonight expecting to see all kinds of positive posts about Bernie's rousing rally in Washington Square Park and just see post after post harping on some tangential, ridiculous, out of context "infraction" by Bernie Sanders and/or his supporters. Looks desperate but I think it's just attempts to demoralize "the other side." Too bad they don't have any Clinton policies to support - their support of Hillary Clinton seems to come mostly in the form of foolish and utterly childish so-called attacks on Bernie Sanders. Just bizarre.

... beyond spouting manufactured outrage since it's impossible to focus on the good things that Hillary did or will do.
