Hillary Clinton will support the nominee of the party

I suspect that Clinton will work hard to make sure that the nominee is not a weak candidate like sanders but Hillary is a real Democrat and will support the nominee of the party

5. Hillary Clinton is a real Democrat and a large number of real Democrats respect and listen to her

There are a significant number of real Democrats who still look to and respect Hillary Clinton. I have a great deal of respect for her and her opinion is meaningful to me and a large number of real Democrats.

BTW, why are the Just Us Democrats demanding that Hillary agree to support sanders if he is the nominee??I personally do not pay any attention to the Just Us Democrats and was amused by their silly demand that Clinton agree to support sanders if sanders is the nominee. Does anyone take the Just Us Democrats seriously?

Like Hillary Clinton, I will support the nominee of the party. I really doubt that sanders will be the nominee of the party, There are far too many real Democrats who have good memories and who will not forgive or forget

She was spot on with her comments, but this will help ease some hurt feelers.

7. Hillary doesn't need Bernie voters, but Bernie needs Hillary voters

I wish I could remember the tweeter who wrote that, but it's true.

Also if anyone actually read the article in question, he support of the eventual nominee was pretty much a given.

9. Hillary said some words, the words were immediately misrepresented.

People accustomed to assuming the worst case scenario about Democrats set their hair on fire and ran around while others presented the actual quotes in an effort to put out the flames. The usual.

It's not like she said Sanders was corrupt or evil ("I don't want to see the American people voting for the lesser of two evils" ) or not progressive or something like that!
