"If Hillary wins California, it will prove that she rigged it"

If HRC wins Calif, it will prove she rigged it.

If she loses Calif, that proves she is weak and unpopular.

If Bernie supporters don’t show up at the polls tomorrow, it’s because of voter suppression.

If HRC supporters don’t show up at the polls, it’s because of their lack of enthusiasm.

If the AP announces that HRC is the presumptive nominee, they are doing it to tilt the table in her favor because they know she would otherwise lose.

If they don’t announce that she’s the presumptive nominee, it’s because she wants a choreographed coronation on prime-time TV with maximum pomp.

If Bernie outperforms the polls, it’s because he’s sublime.

If HRC outperforms the polls, it’s because she cheated.

If HRC asks the media not to trumpet her presumptive-nominee status, she’s being fake-humble.

If she accepts the math, she’s arrogant.

If she shouts, it’s annoying.

If Bernie shouts, he’s passionate.

I don't know if this has already been posted but its a PERFECT example of the huge double standard that I have seen present in this election. Hillary supporters...we are damned if we do and damned if we don't. Every statement, every action will be seen as part of some chess move; will be seen as disingenuous. I'm over it!!! This article sums it up brilliantly. Oh wait. Isn't Daily Kos run by Hillary people. So I guess its another media example of them being "in the tank" for her so anything that comes from Daily Kos can't be looked at objectively, right? Bullshit. OVER IT!!!!!

they are insincere. If they are overjoyed then they are gloating and deserve to have a contested convention.

We can't do anything right. We can't celebrate too much. If we try and call for unity we are being phony. Like....I'm over it.

Unity isn't about the loser getting what they want. That isn't democracy.

of being female.

Look at Trump's policies. A bunch oh bluster and no details. Hillary has detailed plans but she is inexperienced and unqualified.

...is that if she doesn't win the primary with 59%, it proves that she's weaker than Bernie.

Huh?
