BERNIE SANDERS ENDORSES CLINTON!

I'm sure this surprised everyone.
I hope his efforts lead to changes in the direction of American politics. Hopefully he will join Hillary on the trail. He's a much better campaigner.

With Bernie's full throated endorsement of Clinton, the Democratic Party now has but one objective:
Get Out The Vote.

It would be too easy (and lazy) to assume that Clinton will beat Trump for the Presidency.
The focus now also has to be getting voters to the polls to change the Senate, and then the House.
The Senate, for the simple reason that the next President may well nominate Justices who will serve for the next two generations. And even if the House is not clearly won, a more balanced vote will force compromise. And compromise will lead to moving forward, even if by small steps.

I really hate when Washington politicians use the phrase "the American people" for the simple reason that they don't actually represent their constituencies, but rather their Party.
Americans are frustrated, I think, because they have been pushed aside in the political process.
And the way to do that is to harness the passion & frustration seen in the demonstrations across the country over the last week into action at the polling place.

It's like the old saying, "Don't get mad. Get even!"

Get out the Vote Democrats, at every level.

I know this is unfair (he's speaking endlessly, she's listening), but which one do you think is the more exciting candidate?

Perhaps we should ask Vice President Christie...

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...

Bernie isn't stupid enough to risk throwing the election to Trump even if he has to abandon his cause to a degree. Live to fight another day.

How much would you speculate that he got paid?
