I’m reminded of the old (non-Christian) parable:

One time a fox came to a river and prepared to swim across it. A scorpion came up to the fox and asked, “Can I ride on your back to get to the other side?”

The fox responded, “No way! You’ll sting me!”

The scorpion replied, “Why would I sting you? If I do that, we’ll both drown.”

The fox found this reasonable and let the scorpion on his back, and started to swim across the river. Halfway in the river, the scorpion stung him. As he began to feel the effects of the poison, he said to the scorpion, “Why did you do that? Now we’ll both drown!”

“It’s my nature”, replied the scorpion.

Similarly here. I’m glad that the battle between Obama and Clinton will continue for a few more weeks, but any Republican that voted for Clinton (or still plans to in any upcoming primary) should be reminded of that parable above.
