13. MOM also didn't waste much time.

He waited until the primary elections were over, likely out of deference to both candidates as he had been a candidate himself.

But once the results were there for ALL to see, he endorsed, jumped in wholeheartedly, and has begun hitting the trail on her behalf as well as on behalf of other Dems.

That is the kind of behavior that was exhibited by Hillary herself in 2008. It is also, to my recollection, the same type of behavior exhibited by ALL Dem primary losers but one ... save for Eugene McCarthy in 1968.

To be fair to McCarthy, he didn't actually lose in the primaries.

MOM's is the kind of behavior this Dem expects to see from other Dems.
