Bernie "The Birdie" Balboa. in Whey and Sonic Screwdrivers.

Okay, seriously media that I couldn’t avoid because it was cardio day at the gym? HILLARY HAS NOT CLINCHED THE NOMINATION. She has 2184 pledged delegates, with 2382 needed to win. She has the plurality of pledged delegates, which is enough in “normal” democratic society to win the nomination. That’s fine.

But if she has this all wrapped up, why is she so afraid of Bernie? You have to respect your opponent, and she isn’t. Apollo Creed didn’t in Rocky One, and that’s why he was the villain. Hillary bowed out eight years ago, and lookie lookie she got a job as Secretary of State. Bernie doesn’t care about personal favors. It’s about what he stands for, and going the distance even in the face of losing.

If the party splits, she has herself to blame. After all, the DNC certainly has their own hand on the media machine, not Bernie. Go on. Bridge the gap. Show us you’re not the corporate chickenhawk we think you are. Be a candidate we want to vote for. I dare you.
