You gotta hand it to Sanders.

Sanders is a fighter. Whether he wins or loses in Indiana, I think he should be very proud of how close he made it. He never gave up and he let his voters have a vote.

I'm also glad to see he isn't directly attacking Clinton as much. He does better when he shares his message rather than tears down a very nice and likable person. (At least in the opinion of many people who are not on DU.)

I also think a win here could help boost him in California, and while it does not look likely he will win the nomination, I think getting more delegates helps give him a voice in the party and the platform.

I am glad that we have these two wonderful candidates running this year. They are both people who make me proud!

There is a big difference between calling someone out on issues and lying and distorting their record.
