"Of course Bernie Sanders appears to have sold out emerging from a White House meeting with President Barack Obama vowing to work together with Hillary Clinton to defeat Donald Trump in November. Bernie would rather endorse a traitor who has sold her influence as Secretary of State just to save the Democratic Party. Obama assured Bernie, no doubt, that he would not allow Hillary to be indicted. And to further rig the game, the State Department refuses to release her emails until after the election. But the actual date they gave was November 31st, 2016, which does not exist since November has only 30 days. Once she is president, no doubt they will vanish altogether.
It appears that Bernie is betraying all those who supported him. Hillary will raise $1 billion to buy the White House. That kind of money does not come from bankers without strings. Wall Street supports Hillary – not Trump. That says it all. How Bernie can just give up is amazing. What happened to his “revolution” will never be discussed." - Martin Armstrong https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/i...is-supporters/
She will need to raise $31 billion dollars. Don't forget, she's already promised the coal mining industry $30 billion if they vote for her.Quote:

A sad day. Bernie endorsed Hillary today. I don't know why now, instead of after the convention. Perhaps he was threatened. It's not going to help her win though. The Bernie people will write him in or vote Green party. She will have to steal it again to beat Trump.

People Are Furious That Bernie Sanders Just Endorsed Hillary Clinton[[link)
Interesting comments found in this article. Bernie also sponsored anti-Federal Reserve legislation only to water it down when it reached the Senate as its chief sponsor. Bernie is consistent. This time, Bernie buckled even after Jill Stein commendably offered to step aside and let Bernie run as the Green Presidential candidate."“So disappointed. Bernie sold out millions and many of us fell for it,” one former fan tweeted. “Never again.”
Sanders endorses Clinton, and his hardcore supporters are feeling Berned
“I intend to do everything I can to make certain she will be the next president of the United States,” Judas Sanders said at a joint rally in New Hampshire."
Bye, Bye, Bernie.
I'm not going to call him a sell out. I don't know what kind of pressure he was under. I'll reserve my dislike for the lying, cheating felon running for Pres.
pam...i like him too but he's better right where he is in the senate.
All candidates are under tremendous pressure. I think he just realized that the Democratic machine wants Hillary to be president, and pretty much every super delegate is part of that machine.Quote:

Chanting "Hell No, DNC, we won't vote for Hillary" and "This is what democracy looks like," the marchers headed from City Hall down Broad Street, the main north-south artery that leads from the city center to the convention site about 4 miles away.
Boy, When Bernie Sanders sells out, he don't play.....

Bernie did not sell out to anyone. He went to battle with an entrenched clique, made amazing progress, changed the discussion, and likely delayed, if not prevented passing of the TPP. The democratic party has moved away from their traditional support for blue collar folks and moved toward supporting university grads and white collar "liberals". Thomas Frank describes this in his book: Listen Liberal. [[I don't know how to underline with this smart phone). Bernie's supporters need to keep the movement going at the grass roots level. Meanwhile, somehow the Citizens United decision must be overturned. No Trump appointed Supreme Court nominees will go for this. I am voting for Clinton because she may appoint justices who will be open to changing this most destructive decision of the century. It's a stretch, but right now it is the only option.
Bernie delegates had a massive walk out last night.

I don't trust her to do anything that might offend her corporate masters. I'm still writing in Bernie.Quote:

^^^ Yes, what fun! If you don't vote it's problem, if you write in someone it's a mess.
No, it's a vote for Bernie. I can't in good conscience vote for Hillary.Quote:
