The wife and I have really sensitive BullShit detectors and Clinton sets them to howling every time she utters a word!

We may need someone to run against a second Trump term. If we survive the first.

7. Wow, Bernie looks tired and defeated

he is still avoiding the questions he is asked, and repeats his predictable mantras of establishment and momentum. the latest poll here has him down 15 points from HRC. He has been losing for a long time, and making claims otherwise is dishonest.
The real concern needs to be defeating Trump now, not wasting time and money on a losing battle with HRC.

8. Hillary doesn't exactly look chipper these days either. Her voice is raw, her eyes are heavy.

They've been campaigning non-stop for one year.

Even young Obama looked exhausted during this part of the campaign.

presumtive nominee, is really wearing her down. Bernie is laying waste to everything that is bullshit in our media, politics, government, and system. And he is still in it. If anything they even remotely believed to be true was, then he wouldn't. She may seal the deal before convention, but if she doesn't then what does that tell you about the whole meme?

Bernie is losing and has for a long time. He has failed to meet his targeted number of delegates needed for almost every state, even the ones he "won".
I honestly agree with most of what Bernie's insights about the economy, banks, etc., but it is nothing new. Anyone paying attention the last few years already knows what he is preaching about.
But it is his empty claims of salvation if you only believe in him that are incredulous too me. I can't drink his cool-aid.
And to respond to your whole meme question: Bernie's constant attacks on HRC and the Democratic party smell of Republicans trying to bring down our party from the inside.
Perhaps the Socialist should have run as a Socialist and left us alone.

9. We Bernie supporters are in this for Bernie through the convention and beyond.

We want to fill the House and Senate with Bernie supporters.

This is just the beginning. Of course we are going all the way to the future and beyond November.

Whether Bernie goes to the White House or to the Senate after November, we will have his back.

And when I say that Bernie Sanders has always worked for and meant what he said, did his homework on the American experience through these decades and used his vision, it intends to STAY that way because he has so many in the country FOR him.

I'm not about to see it any other way.
