12. Of course it did, and it was worse for us, but...we won.

You know I'm on your side and I always like your posts, but I have to disagree with you here. We are adults. It takes nothing away from us to be the bigger people. Michelle's words: when they go low, we go high. We won! We're going to elect Hillary to be the first woman president of the United States!

My first natural reaction is NOT to be nice to people who were complete assholes to me in the primary, believe me. But my second, thought-through RESPONSE is that my main goal is to elect Hillary. I want their votes. If I leave them alone for a while and talk to them nicely when they talk to me, it takes NOTHING away from me. Nothing. And it might just help.

I don't know, just my opinion.
