ALWAYS the double-standard.

How DARE anyone presume she won, just by having more votes!

That may be how it's worked before, but the man running against her hasn't yet given his permission for this to be over.

It's only fair that he get to contest the convention. It's not fair for her to have won just because of voting, rules, and the usual things because... because...

Oh um, because the rightwing has been on a vendetta against Hillary Clinton for 30 years, which clearly makes Bernie the strongest candidate to beat Trump, right?!?

Why, they can't even think of anything to accuse him of! He is THAT perfect!!

And she is clearly just too ambitious, self-centered, craven, calculating, dishonest, mean, and any other words that are the antithesis of "ladylike," to step down for the good of the country.

Questioning that assertion at all. ("It" = "polls show I beat Trump by a greater margin than HRC does.&quot Finally, David Corn is raising the point that he has not faced the attacks HRC has and even HRC has gone easy on him, so the poll results are unreliable.

Bernie, it's way past time to pack it in.
