(6,007 posts)It had the organization in one column, the candidate they endorsed in the next and the METHOD in the third column.
It was SHOCKING. . .
In every case, the organizations that endorsed Hillary were done by the LEADERSHIP, that is the "establishement"
In EVERY case, the organizations that endorsed Bernie were done through polling the members.
That is a startling difference. Wish I could remember where I saw it.

(6,007 posts)I have been paying attention, the trend holds true. Every time they announce another Hillary endorsement, it is the leadership and for Bernie it is the membership.
