And no obligation to bring the party together? Because Clinton already "woman'ed" up in 2008 when she was in Sanders position.

Can't she sell her policies to us? Why must it be on him to unite? Did he do something wrong? Stop begging Bernie to sell us the corporate version of the democratic party. You sell us on how great it is.

L-O-S-E-R!

It is up to him to bow out gracefully and support Hillary.

Beg? Nah. Let him ride out on the unicorn he rode in on. We have the votes he does not. We are not begging anyone.

It's going to take incorporating some of Sanders' policies to even get a meaningful percentage of his supporters to come on board. It's all on her to earn his supporters vote.

She can certainly unite the party, esp. if she plays her cards right. She wants the job badly enough, after all.

Men are not the only ones who can unite any party.

You might consider rewriting things just a tad. Currently it comes off a bit on the edge. I won't alert but I'm fairly certain that someone will.
