Next Tuesday is the coronation. But I think there is a serious gap between him and his campaign team -- who do not seem to be getting that message. Very feisty debate on CNN last night where they were still pushing the "Hillary took Wall Street money and changed her stance on the bankruptcy law conversation."<br /><br />I also agree HRC should not publicly open up the VP discussions just yet -- even though they have to be having quiet internal discussions. I was just speculating about the direction she might take. <br /><br />I do think HRC will unite the party -- no question. And therefore being respectful is the most prudent path going forward. However, there is a serious slice of the Bernie supporters who are out -- they are the Bernie or bust crowd and there are a lot of them -- more than I imagined and alarmingly so. My Facebook page is lit up with this view ... Bernie or Bust and HillNo ... !<br /><br />For our arm chair speculation I wonder if she moves left for the VP (Warren) or more to the center (Cuomo / Bloomberg).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17539898502188259736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364980587788164382.post-52673535694721092412016-04-21T14:26:40.718-04:002016-04-21T14:26:40.718-04:00I'm not really worried, JP. I think Bernie has...I'm not really worried, JP. I think Bernie has been an annoyance, but I think it's pretty much over now. I think the New York results were a really bitter pill for him, hard to process. And the fact that he didn't campaign yesterday -- with five major primaries on tap for next Tuesday -- says a lot. <br /><br />I wouldn't open up the VP discussion yet. It's not respectful to Bernie's supporters. He should be allowed to own the spotlight during the end of the campaign -- assuming he plays his part correctly. But indicating immediately that he won't be an important part of the general election -- since he's obviously not going to be the Veep -- would be unnecessarily harsh.Falstaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543557291381143262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364980587788164382.post-73049156323583202352016-04-21T13:41:37.305-04:002016-04-21T13:41:37.305-04:00Agreed.
