Democratic Grand Finale Tuesday results thread (1st polls close @8pm ET)

Is that a well-known picture or just a snapshot from a Youtube video?  Such a good study in body language, Brown looks absolutely wretched compared to Clinton.

[Lyin' Steve]

Ugh, the crowd just spent a solid thirty seconds booing Clinton after Bernie congratulated her on her victory and he just stood there and soaked it all in.

[Lyin' Steve]

Isn't Hillary going to end up with a majority of pledged delegates at the end of this?

Seriously, what's the fcking point?

Christ.  I thought I was disappointed a couple hours ago.

I'm done defending him.

I've been saying for a long time that this is who Sanders is, you're welcome to join if you're frustrated enough.

[Lyin' Steve]

You know what? Screw this. This board will just keep getting uglier the longer this lasts. I'm staying out of here until Sanders concedes, and I'd like to hope that things calm down after that.

That's funny, I'm planning on going on hiatus after Sanders concedes.  I want the vindication and then I don't care about much until the first debate.  Maybe we won't see each other until September.

[Lyin' Steve]

FWIW, Montana called for Sanders.

[Lyin' Steve]

Question now is do I go to Sander's rally in DC or not? I love Bernie but I really really hate Berniebros and I know the people there would drive me nuts.

Only the dregs will be left.  It will be entirely an r/sandersforpresident crowd, the true believers.

[Lyin' Steve]

Yeah, Sanders is probably going to drop out sometime in the next two weeks.

I'm happy that there are some Clinton supporters here that can see that there was a shift in tone and even the message.

There was no shift in tone. The reporters who cover him say that he does it many times, not attacking Clinton in one speech and then a few hours later hitting her hard in the next one.
It's one more sign of his erratic campaign and character.

The peak of the speech was just "AND WE WILL... (simplistic talking point) (pause for applause) AND WE WILL..." on repeat.  The first ten minutes was him telling his supporters how great they all were as they chanted "Bernie or Bust!!", and then the last two minutes was him basically saying "yeah, Hillary won California", letting his supporters boo her, and then promising to go to the convention and skedaddling.  There was nothing diplomatic or certainly presidential about it.  It was just his standard concession speech.  Tell them it's their victory, give your stump speech, briefly acknowledge reality before promising to continue the fight in the next state and leave ASAP.
