You might have footing if it wasn't lost by a razors edge. But I don't think you do. nt

Razor's edge means that perhaps any ONE of those many things could have made a difference.

if sanders is held to under 300 delegates, then the next national convention may be okay

To those who think she should disappear, any public utterance is "putting herself in the spotlight."

You are chosing to intrepret her words in a way that allows you to criticize her.
