If you haven't seen it, in 2008 Hillary dropped out at the end of the race (even though she knew for sometime before that she wouldn't be able to win. Everyone in this thread needs to watch it because I think it's amazing that even after that loss she was able to come back and do what she's done. Here's the best part of the speech!! Hope everyone will watch it.
"Although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time.... thanks to you, it's got about 18 million cracks in it".
I cried the whole day and night after this speech. I remember my parents thought I was dying. I was like one of the crazy Bernie stans.. And I was only 11 years old (which is crazy)!! Now I get to vote for my #1 inspiration in November and attend her inauguration in January.
Primary voters aren't the same as general election voters.
Are you going to deny that her strength in traditionally red states could help her? I mean, just last night you agreed that we could see her turn a couple states.
To think that Hillary will be having Bill and Obama, the two most beloved out of office Presidents stumping for her, possibly Bernie, maybe even an endorsement from Jimmy Carter if he feels up to it.. damn.. it is almost too cool to imagine.

Sanders camp now arguing that state laws binding dels can't be enforced. Not sure of the law, but not an argument you want to have to make

Another guy on reddit smartly made reference to a term I hadn't heard of called escalation of commitment.
Quote:
Escalation of commitment refers to a pattern of behavior in which an individual or group will continue to rationalize their decisions, actions, and investments when faced with increasingly negative outcomes rather than alter their course. The related term sunk cost fallacy has been used by economists and behavioral scientists to describe the phenomenon where people justify increased investment of money, time, lives, etc. in a decision, based on the cumulative prior investment ("sunk costs"), despite new evidence suggesting that the cost, beginning immediately, of continuing the decision outweighs the expected benefit.
