Democrats need to win in 2020, she said, telling the crowd that they should "work hard for your preference in the primary" but ultimately to support the candidate who is nominated.
"Do not let anyone you know vote third party," she said.
Clinton's advice was roundly criticized on Twitter.
Interesting strategy. Trying to win the contest that actually matters ??

So that popular vote thing? She’s finally dropping it? I mean, it’s only been 3 years so she can hang on a bit longer if she wants.
