2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Bernie is in danger of losing his committee assignments [View all]Optimism

far more than he needs them. A shame they're not acting that way.
We've been saying this for months now ... if the Superdelegates give Hillary the nomination (as it looks like they will), say hello to President Trump.
