It doesn't have anything to do with sexism. She needs the Bernie voters - period, and yes a man patricia92243 Jun 2016 #7

There was a Tweet that went with this graphic but it was too plain speaking @ sanders so I didn't post it.

would do the exact same thing if he needed the votes. This is just politics - has nothing to do with gender.

I voted for Hillary and hope she succeeds in wooing the Bernie voters.

But this goes way beyond that, and has not occurred when male candidates have won decisively (or even by small margins, as in 2008). And we certainly do not see anything like this happening on the Republican side, even though Trump clearly is facing a much more divided party.

They didn't want to upset his touchy followers and they didn't want to incur the swarming wrath of his Bernie Bros. Now, so many people can finally say exactly what they want to about him.

I hope he stays in to the convention. The tables are turned and his rational followers will vote for Hillary in the general. I, personally don't care to hear about what they want or that they have to hold their noses to vote. And I certainly don't care what Bernie Sander's wants. Although, it should be fun watching him trying to get it!
