Maryland.

That's right. Maryland.

The Free State. The Old Line State. Little America. Capital is Annapolis. Largest city is Baltimore.

42nd largest state in area, 19th in population.

Has a fisherman on its state seal.

Maryland.

So what's the big deal about Maryland?

I'll tell you:

Maryland is the ONLY state that Bernie Sanders does not have to WIN to earn the nomination.

The. Only. One.

He can afford to lose D.C., and maybe one or two of the territories, but every state but Maryland is a must-win.

And this is the work of a Bernie supporter, MattTX at DailyKos.

To paraphrase Donald Trump, every time there's a state contest, the wall gets 10 feet higher. Today it is stratospheric. Impassable.

Time for unity.

If you do, then what you and more importantly, your candidate, need to do is listen to those who support Bernie to find out why. Then you need to convince them that while Bernie may be their first choice, Hillary is an acceptable alternative who cares about the issues they care about and will work to achieve the things they care about.

All I have seen so far are attempts to convince them the race is over and to suck it up. That ain't getting ANYONE to the polls come General Election DAY, so if you carry on in that fashion and no one shows up, just remember that's on you. And Hillary.
