your own advice.

Clinton: I Urged 08 Supporters to Back Obama, Didnt Get That Respect from Sanders [View all] SpicyBoi Sep 2017 OP

Hillary revoked the credentials of delegates at the convention who wouldn't support Obama. nycbos Sep 2017 #1

That's an autocratic behavior, KPN Sep 2017 #5

And..then OK so you understand the OP title . She turned to the traditional formality of conceding lunasun Sep 2017 #94

Guess what else was different about the 2 scenarios? Obama v. McCain and Clinton v. Trump. Justice Sep 2017 #144
