That people should withhold judgement on or commenting upon until one knows all the facts.

It's a very good example of don't overreact . Last night people were flying off the handle spitting out of control outrage. Obviously they didn't know the process and all their anger was wasted on a simple thing.

See that often in this comment upon demand world we live in

ETA: media fell for it too, an even bigger shame

let them get it all out of their system. Let them post to their hearts content, at the end we'll out number them and send her to the White House in November.

Only if Bernie supporters show up to vote, both sides best walk the line and not get too carried away. poor turnout is a deal killer.

I have great respect for Bernie Sanders. He says much that I agree with. But I think Hillary Clinton is the most qualified candidate for President in my lifetime, and she was one of the best Secretaries of State we've ever had. Those are what tipped the balance for me.

Some Sanders supporters are starting to sound like Ron Paul supporters, and not in a good way. Too often, they'll claim philosophical purity and dismiss others who've represented the party in various capacities as "establishment" or whatnot. And they won't accept the results of an election (or caucus) at face value.

I'm not saying all Sanders supporters are like this. And for the love of whatever deity or deities may exist, please don't suggest that I'm comparing Mr. Sanders and Ron Paul directly. But I've seen reactions like this before.
