do you remember them coddling Hillary this way at the end of the race? Do you remember if people said that she "just needs time" and "we shouldn't push her"? Do you remember people praising and praising her for what an amazing campaign she ran?

I'm asking seriously, because I don't remember this. I wasn't paying nearly as much attention back then because I was happy with both of them so I just let it play out and then tuned in closer to the general election.
