Interesting NYT article on how Clinton supporters are coming around…slowly.
Here’s a quote from the litterbox article:
The hard-core Hillary supporters have certainly not yet achieved total unification bliss. Perhaps it’s just that their heroine hasn’t had a chance yet to reprogram each one individually. (“Repeat after me: ‘This will all work out.’ And let me hear […]
I like this breakdown of how Clinton’s presumptuousness about superdelegate loyalty was her undoing. They didn’t mention her bigger-than-Texas-sized sense of entitlement outright, but you can read between the lines. Some highlights:
