Tbh. I wonder what percentage of Bernie voters Hillary would need for the presidency. If it's on the smaller side, I have no worries. We also can't forget about democrats who sit out the primary and vote in the GE. My parents have been guilty of that but I made them vote a few weeks ago

Hillary Clinton is no Saint. Not by a long shot. She is a career politician and she does dabble in dirty politics. Same for Bernie, Trump, Cruz, Kasich, Obama, Lincoln, JFK, etc. It happens even for the best of the presidents. (See new series Race for the White House on CNN)
But it's when you spew complete lies like it's nothing is when it gets bad. The Dems have not done that yet I don't think. The Republicans however......

One thing to remember though is that the Obama/Clinton rivalry in 2008 was a lot harsher than the Clinton/Sanders rivalry in 2016. Hillary supporters were incredibly bitter after she lost the nomination (even though she won the popular vote overall). My mom was a hardcore Democrat and Hillary supporter, and then she grew to be anti-DNC and voted for McCain and Romney in 2008 and 2012 as a result of Hillary losing the nomination. Thank god that Obama ended up winning in 2008 and 2012.
I honestly think that all this will tone down once the nomination is decided, depending on the response of the losing candidate.

It won't. The next argument will be, "wait till the California primary." After California, it'll be the "he's winning all the head-to-head GE polls" at the convention. Fact is, this won't end till she is declared the nominee by acclamation.

I've said this before, but when it becomes Trump v Hillary with people like Obama, Biden, Bill, and the rest of the GOP on the sidelines, it'll be a full out war and Bernie will quickly fall back into the Senate.

What even 
At least both were fairly moderate candidates. This time we'll either get the Democrat or a far right wing candidate as out next president.

Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. My mom was just REALLY bitter about it all. Doesn't make any logical sense, but that's what happened.

True, Bernie will just take the millions he's raised this year and quietly slip into retirement.

Then Trump will run independent and destroy Kasich's chance. The way Trump has been talking about it all makes it sound like he'd be more willing to do this if anyone but Cruz gets the nomination because only Cruz is actually being competitive. Kasich is still doing worse than Rubio...

Late Wednesday, Clinton’s press secretary Brian Fallon responded to Sanders’ remarks via Twitter saying, “Hillary Clinton did not say Bernie Sanders was ‘not qualified.’ But he has now — absurdly — said it about her. This is a new low.”
Hillary NEVER said he was unqualified. She actually never responded when she was asked the question this morning!!! They kept bugging her to say it and she never did. He is absolutely to blame.

Didn't she just say he wasn't really a Democrat? Which is true, he's an Independent running as a Democrat.
