Congrats guys!

From a Bernie supporter. I can't say I'm not feeling a little hurt but politics isn't meant for the thin-skinned. I do hope Sanders stays in for a while and after that, as is likely to happen, Clinton is voted Democratic nominee, I'll work my butt off to see her kick fascist, Republican ass .

if he were the nominee.

He is a good guy and hopefully he will be a good adviser to Hillary - perhaps secretary of labor.

And it would be safe to do so because Vermont would surely elect a very liberal Dem as his replacement.

While it was a tough night for Sander's, we should ALL be very proud of his incredible campaign! I remember this night eight years ago, working for then Senator Clinton-I felt horrible. It was a terrible, cruddy feeling.

Hugs to you, keep your head up! We're one party and we support each other!

If Bernie was a little younger I can easily see him in the office next.

Bernie's impact on the democratic party is YUUUUGGGGE! He's run an incredible campaign, not only should his supporters be proud, all of us working for the progressive agenda are in his debt!

for the sake of the Supreme Court, the environment, jobs, voting rights, healthcare, equality for all, and so much more. I am grateful to Bernie for bringing some important progressive issues to the forefront and making them more a part of the national dialogue than they would have been otherwise. Let's all keep that conversation going!
