Tell me, if two MALE presidential candidates were running neck-and-neck in this tight primary, would we be blaming one of them as being divisive or delusional? Or would we just think they were BOTH running an amazing race and may the best MAN win? Think about this, please.
Your premise is founded on the inaccurate assertion that we have two candidates running neck-and-neck. What we have -- assuming that the rules established by the DNC are adhered to for the rest of the primary -- is a candidate who has a narrow but insurmountable lead in the popular vote and pledged delegates, and a 2-to-1 lead in contests won, not to mention unprecedented fundraising power. And he's being opposed by someone who cannot possibly win without alienating half of the party, including its most reliable block of voters.
This has been a great race, and while I don't think that there's really much harm in Hillary staying in it to the bitter end (and I do mean "bitter"), anyone who actually wants to see the Democrats win in November has to admit that, for all intents and purposes, the race should be considered over.
Think about this, please.
