Congratulations to Hillary and her supporters!

What a race, huh?

I was hoping for Bernie, not sure where he'll go from here, but we'll see.

But for tonight, sincere congratulations on your New York win!

She worked hard for this win. I don't know that much about her time in NYC but apparently she's getting a good report card tonight.

So I'm sorry for your loss. We get invested in our people and it really stings when the reality of what has transpired sets in.

May I say I find your graciousness exemplary.

We've all been there. That does make me feel empathetic to how Bernie supporters must feel right now as the road ahead looks to be less smooth.
Tomorrow is another day!

I'm not sure what I do personally going forward. I need time to reflect but I see what's ahead after tonight. Clinton vs Trump

P.S. Me personally well I need to come to grips with never receiving my apology but once again doing what my country needs above my personal needs. Honor, Courage, Commitment were never just words to me.

From here we should start looking to make sure we have a strong Democratic coalition so that we can realistically pursue a progressive agenda come 2017.
Better together!
