0:11.7

I mentioned this yesterday because I really have fought with this in the week and a half or so since the election.

0:17.5

Could Bernie have won? And I do think I'd finally landed on, yeah, I think Bernie would have won this election.

0:22.8

I really do.

0:23.9

I'm not crying over spilled milk.

0:25.5

I'm not trying to say I told you so.
