Clinton, Sanders, Obama: The Democrats Try To Define Terms of a Peace Treaty

Hillary Clinton Made History but Bernie Sanders Stubbornly Ignored It New York Times

Ignoring Hillary's historic milestone wasn't just a snub to her, but a snub to millions of people who voted for her, to all those who stood and fought for her AND before her. Hillary and democrats across this nation have been not only gracious but complimentary and appreciative. Sanders is proving to the U.S. and the world that we have made a correct choice in choosing a predecessor to Barack Obama. Forget the "grumpy old man"! On to the general election!

In a speech of striking stubbornness, he ignored the history-making achievement of his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, who became the first woman in American history to clinch the presidential nomination of a major political party.

Mr. Sanders waited until 15 minutes into his speech to utter Mrs. Clinton’s name. He referred, almost in passing, to a telephone conversation in which he had congratulated her on her victories. At that, the crowd of more than 3,000 inside an aging airport hangar booed loudly. Mr. Sanders did little to discourage them.

Tuesday was, undeniably, Mrs. Clinton’s night, a milestone for women in politics and civic life 95 years after the 19th Amendment guaranteed their right to vote.

But by Wednesday morning, all eyes were on Mr. Sanders. Would he be generous or petulant? Would he let go or keep battling?

At almost every turn, he was grudging toward Mrs. Clinton, passing up a chance to issue the kind of lengthy salute that many, in and out of the Democratic Party, had expected and craved.

There are many divisions within the Sanders campaign—between the dead-enders and the work-it-out crowds, between the younger aides who think he got off message while the consultants got rich and obsessed with Beltway-style superdelegate math, and between the more experienced staffers who think the kids got way too high on their sense of the difference between a movement and an actual campaign.

But more than any of them, Sanders is himself filled with resentment, on edge, feeling like he gets no respect -- all while holding on in his head to the enticing but remote chance that Clinton may be indicted before the convention.

Clinton reflects on the emotion of her historic moment -- and rips into Trump Washington Post

Minutes before her address declaring victory as the Democratic presidential nominee Tuesday evening, Hillary Clinton was worried she might not make it through her prepared remarks without crying.

“I was overwhelmed,” Clinton said in an interview with The Washington Post on Wednesday.

“It just was a sense of momentous historic experience — that I was part of it and it really was hard to actually, you know, make sense of it,” Clinton said, marvelling a day later at the sight of thousands of supporters crowded into a Brooklyn warehouse to celebrate.

“I was worried that if, when I went out to speak, just the emotion of the moment would be so intense that I might have trouble getting through the speech itself. So I did have to collect myself and try to get prepared.”

Clinton spoke by telephone a day after becoming the first woman in U.S. history to be the presumptive leader of a major-party presidential ticket. In her victory address on Tuesday, Clinton claimed the mantle in the names of suffragettes and others who went before her.

Hillary Shops Anti-Trump Republicans

The Hillary Clinton campaign launched RepublicansAgainstTrump.org on June 2. The website invites Republicans to take the pledge:

"Donald Trump is not qualified to be president. He does not represent my beliefs as a Republican and, more importantly, my values as an American. He does not speak for me and I will not vote for him," reads the pledge.
