2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Clinton, Sanders officially set Tuesday for unity rally in New Hampshire [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)20. That article's hitting lessening of "leverage,"
in that typically insidious way most media have of inserting negative spin, should also have pointed out that in the process of using his leverage he got most of what he wanted into the platform, arriving at a consensus just about where his camp, the DNC, and Hillary's camp always expected it to be at this point.
If they were newly honest, most media would also finally confess that Sanders and HRC didn't actually have to move very much at all to reach this point, that most of the "division" was hype.
Doors open at 9 at the high school, the principals show up much later no doubt, but people are recommended to arrive early...probably about now.
