Beware of FoxNews who don’t see Election 2016 as the opportunity to Save America but one that nails sit for the little girls.

Watch for the headline, ‘Hillary has made history. Now it’s time for Bernie Sanders to help her win the White House’ to trend virally on in-the-tank-for-Hillary Facebook and Google.
This (Heaven help us!) is a headline not originating from the Daily Beast, HuffPo or Grand Central Democrats. It does not come from the secret smudge pot of Elizabeth (Pocahontas) Warren, but from the self-aggrandized ‘Fair and Balanced’ Fox News.
With America now in visible decline; its armed forces hollowed out by it own hate-inspired president, over-run by undocumented ‘refugees’; with millions out of work but still having to feed families, and businesses being shuttered by day, Hillary Clinton wants us to believe she’s the tooth fairy, and the television network that holds Number One status in the Cable Television world is helping her spin that fairy tale!“I couldn’t be prouder. “And I also couldn’t be more astounded at how little the magnitude of this feat has seemed to matter."
“This is in no small part due to the fact that Clinton clinched the Democratic nomination for president Monday night with an Associated Press report that enough unpledged superdelegates had committed to Clinton to throw her over the 2,383 delegate threshold. That wasn’t how she wanted to win and you could tell in her voice that she knew that even though she had won, the evening would belong to Bernie Sanders who would continue to hammer on the “rigged system.” (NB: the system isn’t rigged when you’re over three million votes ahead). It follows that, as is always the case for Clinton, that she has no time to waste in unifying the party behind her. This will be a challenge, especially as it doesn't look like Bernie will go quietly into the night.N.B: Whatever Karl Marx-spouting socialist has ever gone quietly into the night?
“But it’s a hardly insurmountable challenge – especially for the first female nominee for president of the United States. “Pundits like to focus on the number of Sanders supporters who say they’ll back Trump in November if Clinton is the nominee. There have been polls showing that up to 20 percent of Sanders supporters are saying this. While meaningful, the conversation leaves out the fact that in 2008 up to 50 percent of Clinton supporters said they wouldn’t get behind Obama. And guess what? They did. “Furthermore, Sanders supporters really don’t like Donald Trump. Polls over the last few months show that just six percent of his supporters felt positively about Trump compared to 90 percent who have a negative view of him. Based on Trump’s recent attacks on federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel, I believe it’ll only get worse.” “That isn’t to say that Clinton doesn’t have some major wooing to do. She does. And Bernie Sanders needs to play his part in unifying this party. That means he needs to stop going after Clinton with GOP attack lines and make good on his promise to help defeat the Republicans even if Clinton is the nominee. “
