Until he agreed to help pay off her campaign debts and make her Sec of State.

There were likely other deals, such as appointing Clinton surrogates to cabinet positions and White House staff.

Fundamentally the two did not differ on policy. It does seem Bernie and Hillary have major fundamental differences.

Body language, and facial expression is telling a very different story then her kind words of support.

There is an entire "cottage industry" related to tearing down everything Hillary says and does!

I guess you are just one of the "drones."

It doesn't look like Bernie has it in him to bow out gracefully.

Another stark difference between the candidates.

I was very impressed with this speech, and the way she handled herself in all the debates too. It must have been tough conceding. She threw herself in with Obama though and helped us win the presidency twice. That truly helped our economic recovery and helped save the auto industry and provide health insurance for millions more.
