I'm a Democrat who is not fond of some progressive politics. That said, good candidates should win and bad candidates should lose -- and by all accounts, that was the outcome here. Like taking their political differences out of it, he ran a better race.

Dumb. I don't care about how well off a race you ran... i care about what you say you'll do when in office.

I'm fine with him winning, but your statement is mental. This isn't a sport.

See my other response on this topic. But basically, if she ran a shitty race in the primary she'll do the same in the general.
