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.

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

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.

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.
