2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Sanders: If Clinton Wins, She'll Have To Win Over My Supporters Herself [View all]d_legendary1
(2,586 posts)73. I agree with his response
She wants my vote she's gonna have to convince me that she's gonna get it. But based on what she said last night she doesn't need my vote:
"I've got 10.4 million votes. I have 2.7 million more folks, real people, showing up to cast their vote, to express their opinion than Senator Sanders. I have a bigger lead in pledged delegates than Senator Obama when I ran against him in 2008 ever had over me. I am winning. And I'm winning because of what I stand for and what I've done (APPLAUSE) and what I stand for."
