    Sanders should quit and support Clinton

    Bernie Sanders, isn't it time, after the last count of delegates, to put your support behind your party?

    You vow to take yourself to California. Would you hurt the Democratic Party for the sake of yourself?

    Hillary Clinton has been saying all along that there’s more that unites us than divides us. You have good intentions and ideas but they are pie in the sky.

    Raising the minimum wage from about $10 to $15 an hour will never pass. It is a living wage; perhaps. This country runs and was built on free enterprise, we grew up that way for good or bad. We're not a socialist democracy; you can't have both. The words "in the pursuit of happiness" is for everyone, but government can't do it all.

    Hillary's $12 an hour is a start, might even pass. Look at where this country is; we're so far down the ladder, Thomas Jefferson would be ashamed. You don't have to be a socialist to be a liberal or even left of center for that matter.

    All the Republicans do is blame President Obama. They should look in the mirror and ask themselves, "Do I feel good about this?" In 1860 we had the "Know Nothings" party. Today we have a "Do Nothings" party.
