Bernie just clarified in an interview regarding his endorsement in the GE

He is not giving conditions on his endorsement if he loses the primaries.

He clearly said on MTP that because the primaries are going on now and he feels he will win he will not say he would endorse Hillary Clinton.

It makes sense.

If she wins he is gonna endorse her. But, he isn't going to speak negatively in a national interview when he can still win.

As a Bernie supporter, it made me feel better. I don't want to vote for Hillary, but I sure will over those evil bozos.

BTW, has anyone ever asked Hillary if she'd endorse Bernie in the General? Not talking about unprompted comments from her like "no matter who our nominee is, we must beat the Republican" but these kind of loyalty oath what will you do when you lose? Will you support her? Will you? Huh huh huh??? crap.

3. Bernie pushed Chuck Todd to ask HER that in their next interview

Todd said he would.

That put a smile on my face.

But, I wonder if he really will.

In truth, it is a question they are constantly asking the republicans who are running if they will endorse trump. I think they don't ask Hillary because they don't respect Bernie or consider him a viable candidate at all even tho his numbers are so much better than many of the republican front runners who get tons of attention.

10. Bernie Will If Necessary Do Only The Bare Minimum. He Owes Corrupt DNC AND Hillary NOTHING

BECAUSE OF THE MANNER IN WHICH THIS ENTIRE PRIMARY WAS CONDUCTED. Much less the FASCIST MSM.

Remember, people will vote the way they feel. Proportionately, people who have supported Bernie will for the most part not vote for Clinton. The lesser of two evils meme is old, they get that the entire process is FIXED to protect the Establishment's PREFERRED candidate so that NOTHING EVER CHANGES... ECONOMICALLY for the 99%. Bernie has no other day to fight. This IS his one shot.


He should bury Hillary with the facts and they damn well better have a New York Debate and soon and let the country understand WHO Hillary REALLY is. Where her MONEY comes from aside from Wall Street like Frackers, GMO's, Corporate Prison Industry.... Poor judgement across her career. Let her have it as well as DNC Chief DWS! People are sick of it!


Her record is readily available and understandable on YouTube. If more people watched, rather than listened to the BS from Hillary or the media she would be nowhere... but alas they listened to the PROPAGANDA!

and so little to Bernie Sanders is the #1 most egregious take away of the season.

Tells you all you need to know about the corporate media.

campaigned for him. I would think that answers the question. Bernie is still an unknown and so the question is valid.

so in that sense, he is an unknown. I don't know that he has ever endorsed or campaigned for a democrat, although he may well have.

...what basis do you have to expect a mainstream Democrat not to endorse the Party nominee?

Sanders is a great statesman. With kindness and integrity.
