Time for Sanders to grow up | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: MSW, your biases are showing. Nevada was rigged. Sanders had won the second tier in the delegate selection process and their votes were thrown out for the predetermined result by the state party. As for Ms. Wasserman-Shultz, his beef is about the allocation of delegates to convention committees. Though he has at least a third of the delegates, he was given a token amount of representation on each committee, especially platform. It's inappropriate, unless the platform is being rigged for his advantage, which is doubtful but will be necessary if he does not get his third of delegates on the committee.
Sanders is not getting out of the race now because people won't go to rallies for a candidate who has conceded. Eight years ago, though HRC had no clear path, she stayed in the race until the end (even without a clear message). The battle is for electoral votes. Officially, the Blue Wall is 245 EVs. Its actually more like 300, but no one will cover a race that HRC has clearly already won. Treating Sanders and his supporters with respect at this stage is the essential feature of turning us out in November, especially on the platform. Bernie or Bust is really $15 minimum wage or bust. HRC should sign up to that and see what happens.
