Democrats Turn to Hillary Clinton After Flirting With Bernie Sanders |Hillary Clinton Group

FAIRFAX, Va. — On the eve of Super Tuesday, as Hillary Clinton urged her supporters to turn out to vote, people on the sidelines of her campaign rally here seemed less revved up than resigned.

The time had come, several said, to end their romance with Bernie Sanders and settle down with Mrs. Clinton.

“Bernie Sanders’s odds of getting the nomination are maybe not that great,” said Mitchell Westall, 19, of Suffolk, Va., who added that he had been intrigued by the Vermont senator’s vision. “So I’m looking at the other Democrat.”

Mrs. Clinton, the former first lady, senator and secretary of state, is not used to being “the other Democrat.” But as voters cast ballots Tuesday in 11 states that could give her a prohibitive lead in the race for the party’s presidential nomination, she seemed to be enjoying something of a homecoming: After eyeing, enjoying and encouraging Mr. Sanders’s insurgency for months, Democrats seemed ready to restore to Mrs. Clinton and her candidacy the air of inevitability with which she began her campaign in April............

2. Maybe they'll start listening to Hillary...

and then get revved up!

If they watched debates and town halls they'd know these two agree on almost everything!

3. I hope they stop demonizing her.

I used to wonder how the right wing could believe so many evil fantasies about Obama. But now I see how so many on our own side have done the same to Hillary.

6. We don't have to fall in love, but the stakes are much too high. From the article.....

But the election may hinge less on genuine passion for Mrs. Clinton than on alarm about the advancing opponent Democrats see in the fall.

“Stopping Donald Trump is something that’s definitely on my mind, as he is getting a lot of support,” Mr. Westall said at the Fairfax rally. “If it comes down to him and Hillary, there is almost no choice but to vote for Hillary there.”
