But I will likely be accused of "cognitive dissonance" or "intellectual dishonesty" or some such for saying that. These are the latest memes to be used against anything I say.

Or perhaps my statement will even be hidden. Denial is very strong in some.

I like the fact Hillary is not against the wall and perhaps the next primary will exclude her from the nomination, and I am hoping she wins the next primaries with a large percentage. This will pass, the sooner the better.

HRC is 62% to her goal of 2026 delegates.

BS is 51% to his goal.

Otherwise the Superdelegates are crowning her against the voter's will.

Bernie just needs to get to 2026, then all the Superdelegates will be obligated to switch support to him.
