Or Donald Trumps house. It's about ego compensation too. shadowandblossom Jun 2016 #92

Hillary was MUCH closer to Obama, can you imagine if she'd refused to concede? Maru Kitteh Jun 2016 #33
I don't have to imagine it it actually happened. Clinton did refuse to concede when Obama clinched.. PoliticAverse Jun 2016 #38
And 4 days later she conceded and endorsed Obama. Arkansas Granny Jun 2016 #46
And the margin of victory was razor thin then, not like this near-landslide we have now. brush Jun 2016 #65
Yes eventually she endorsed Obama. Do you think Sanders will eventually endorse Clinton? n/t PoliticAverse Jun 2016 #67
I don't know. I hope so, but time will tell. Arkansas Granny Jun 2016 #88
And could you tell us leftynyc Jun 2016 #53
In both cases I believe it didn't change the fact that the other person was going to be the nominee PoliticAverse Jun 2016 #56

I'm sure you put the same effort into fighting for the Equal Rights Amendment that you do shadowandblossom Jun 2016 #137
So you say...too bad your candidate can't bring himself to concede to a woman...she must win him Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #208
