It was a long shot at best anyway, Rick. I'm extremely pleased that Bernie was able to run and that he got young people excited about politics. He also proved that a genuinely progressive candidate has a chance at grabbing the gold ring. Bernie pulled Madame Clinton farther to the left than she would have gone without his competition and showed her it was okay to proudly run on progressive measures.
Bernie Sanders, while he may not have become President, has become instead a genuine hero.
I hope he continues his campaign through to the end. His supporters deserve it.
