My last post ended with a question about party unity for the Republicans. Let me turn for a moment to the Democrats.  Everyone (all 7 readers of this blog) knows I strongly favor HRC over Bernie.  I watched some of the last debate between HRC and Sanders.  I found Bernie to be very negative and in fact condescending to Clinton.  It started me wondering, when Clinton finishes the primary season with several million more votes than Bernie, (she currently leads by 2.4 million, with 57 percent of the votes cast), will he bow out gracefully, as Clinton did 8 years ago? I hope so. But Bernie’s demeanor at the debate left me wondering.

Clinton is not a natural politician.  She sometimes acts entitled and makes unforced errors. But she has been in politics for over 3 decades fighting for things she believes in and putting up with more than her share of negative media attention.  But when she lost the nomination in 2008, she was a team player and worked with Obama.  For liberal HRC doubters (and team Bernie), I would point out her support for Obama following her own defeat in the primary represents good character on her part.  May Bernie surprise me a little and be just as gracious when the time comes.
