Just shows he was a fraud all along, just like the rest of them... I wonder how much he got paid off for this appearance...
How much would you speculate that he got paid?
Who knows. But I very much doubt his did this of his own accord, without gaining something major in return... Why would he? Because who cares? Are die hard Bernie supporters now going to vote for Hillary that were NOT planning on it before his endorsement? Who exactly was this meant for?
There are lots and lots of former Bernie supporters who are now going to vote for Hillary. Are there die-hards who won't, and will now throw their votes away on Jill Stein or write in Bernie? Sure, but those people were never going to vote for a major party candidate anyway (and before you all start, Bernie never had a chance in hell of becoming the party's nominee, so just stop).
Bernie wants a Democrat in the White House. He got to have his say on the platform, and he's influenced the party for the better. But he's not such an ideologue that he's willing to throw it all away and end up with a President Trump. Because he's not an idiot - he's a politician. (Yeah, yeah - go ahead and take your cheap shots.)
