52. That was a stark, stark contrast.

Not to mention the convention, where not only did he sit there red-faced and angry for two days, he didn't make much effort to control his supporters from waving signs and, in effect, protesting, night after night, behind the media doing the wrap-up.

Yes, it bothered me, I've said that many times on this forum, and if this is the last time I get to say it, so be it. Bernie Sanders' lackluster support of Hillary was in marked contrast to the way she threw her support behind Obama (not to mention Bill). It did hurt her. I'm still wounded by it. I do think a lot of his supporters didn't come out to vote (or even voted for Stein). I'm proud to say that among my own friends, that was generally not the case (I have one I wonder about, though I suspect he has Libertarian leanings).

It bothers me to open up DU every day and see Bernie's name plastered all over everything, too. I think it should say "Bernie Sanders, formerly (D)" next to his name. Meanwhile, poor Hillary is still being criticized for speaking, for not speaking, for taking walks, for taking selfies with people, for going to the inauguration, for not wearing makeup for Chrissakes, the same old, same old, same old thing that women always face.
