Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign is shrugging off the refusal by Bernie Sanders to concede the Democratic primary.

Clinton aides and allies say they’ve moved on to focus solely on Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee.

They expect Sanders will eventually offer an endorsement, and say they are content to give him the space he needs to get there.

“At this point, Bernie Sanders is an after thought,” one former Clinton aide said, adding that “the world has moved on.”

“Now it is about Hillary Clinton versus Donald Trump. We are now in full general election mode,” the former aide added.................................

2. I'm sure it upset Bernie to no end to hear her talk like that

4. Lol! Perfect!

15. LOL, perfect.

Although I don't think you'll hear Hillary say that.

3. That is exactly the right reaction. It's like when a kid has a tantrum. You don't let it

bother you. You just have to let them get it out of their systems.

5. As should we all

Someone here is trying to start some shit. Shameful.

7. She has a job to do, and she's doing it. The primaries are over.

Her job now is to win the presidency and help as many down-ticket Dems get elected as possible.

You're damn right it has.

17. That world moved on on November 8, 1972.

George McGovern was a good man, but a good man isn't getting anywhere when only one state endorses his electoral bid. And let me add, Bernie Sanders is no George McGovern.

16. Trump

Trump is now the focus. It is time to look to the GE.
Sanders will do what he will do. Only Sanders knows what he will do.
