I still remember this moment. She conceded with such grace and UNIFIED the party behind President Obama.

Let's see if Sanders can show the same amount of class Hillary showed in 2008.

Graceful and Dignified our Democratic Presidential Candidate was in 2008 when she lost to Obama and look where she is now.. and just as an amazing bit of our history.

It is the ultimate example of grace under fire.. and it brings tears to my eyes right now.. it's so poignant.. and I was an Obama supporter who really appreciated her.

were very bitter about Hillary staying in the race a few days past the time when it became clear she couldn't win.

BS is weeks, even months, into that status. He has never been as close to the nomination as Hillary was throughout the 2008 primary. And yet I don't see those same people complaining about the fact.

Odd, that.

If Bernie Sanders cut wind in a restaurant, he'd make a speech about how it was the chef's fault.

I was a Clinton supporter then, and I had never admired her more. I think she made some friends that night that are standing her in good stead now.

Meanwhile Sanders is threatening a floor fight at at the convention unless the Democratic party gives in to his demands.

7. Sanders will never show any class! His and his followers don't have an ounce of it.
