Hillary Clinton sent a very clear message to Bernie Sanders today: Enough is enough

Hillary Clinton has been waiting (relatively) patiently for Bernie Sanders to recognize the mathematical and political realities of his current situation and either end his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination or heavily scale back the rhetoric he has been using against her.

He has done neither. And in an interview Thursday with CNN, Clinton made clear that she's had enough.

Here's the key piece of what she said to CNN’s Chris Cuomo:
I went all the way to the end against then-Senator Obama. I won nine out of the last 12 contests back in ’08. I won Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia. So I know the intense feelings that arise, particularly among your supporters as you go toward the end. But we both were following the same rules just as both Senator Sanders and I are following the same rules, and I’m 3 million votes ahead of him and I have an insurmountable lead in pledge delegates and I’m confident that just as I did with Senator Obama, where I said, you know what? It was really close. Much closer. Much closer than it is between me and Senator Sanders right now.
The not-so-subtle message? Look, man, I’ve walked in your shoes. It sucks. But I did the right thing for the party. Time for you to do the same.

On the merits, Clinton is absolutely right. Her delegate lead over Sanders is both considerable and considerably larger than Obama’s was over Clinton eight years ago.
