BSS won't like this but apparently Bernie has been reassuring Durbin, Boxer

[redstateblues]

and other party people behind the scenes that he will be a good Democrat and support Hillary after the primaries.

[Ken Burch]

1. Bernie always said he'd do that.

It's sad that you are using a conciliatory gesture from a good and decent person as an attempt to start a flamebait thread.

Please just lock you thread now before you do harm. You're a better person than this.

[floriduck]

3. News must be very slow to get to Tennessee. Lack of bandwidth maybe.

[redstateblues]

9. no-we are just low information folks down here in the South

At any rate it bears repeating.

[redstateblues]

11. Not intended as flame bait-I'm genuinely relieved to hear it

Don't know where you got the flame bait thing-I'm willing to bet there are some that won't be happy-plenty on this site

13. when all you have is urine everything looks like a urinal

or leg

[redstateblues]

15. Been a lot of that from your side too. I'm sure you have only said nice things about

HRC supporters. Pot here-nice to meet you kettle

[reddread]

16. nyah nyah

[aikoaiko]

19. Just shows you haven't heard a word Bernie has said.

[PatrickforO]

2. Of course he is. He promised he would, and he's been a gentleman to a fault in this campaign.

However, as one of his supporters, I promise you that should Clinton get the nod I will be holding her feet to the fire as well as the feet of other Democrats downticket on the issues that will actually improve my life. Because I've had it with neolib neocon 'free trade' bullshit.

[Doctor Jack]

10. Nothing wrong with that

Never fully trust anyone in a position of power

[KoKo]

4. Yes...he's a Gentleman (does anyone remember those) who has his Agenda

and those who complain about him not working with the Party are being "Put in Place."

Bernie knows where the Compromises to Lobbyists and the Underhand Dealing has gone on....and Good for Him! Any "Deal" Bernie Makes will be to move forward The Revolution....while Hillary/Bill have FBI and Civil Litigation hanging over her head from now on.

Bernie is a Smart Guy! And a Tough "Gentleman."

[Autumn]

5. Nothing hew there. Bernie has always said that.

He has always supported democrats. Always.

[Hortensis]

6. My guess, NV and previous similar incidents were negotiating

moves and a deal has been reached. IF THIS IS REAL.

IF a reasonable deal is what he intended all along, I don't fault him very much specifically for putting his clueless followers' resentment to use. I fault them. If this is what happened, a big "if," he still betrayed them by feeding them unprincipled lies, though, and that IS a huge fault in him.

[Downwinder]

7. Ah, that little birdie told you.

[cali]

8. You are so wrong . We Tod YOU that he would.

[Doctor Jack]

12. To be fair to Sanders, he has been saying that since the beginning

He never said he wouldn't endorse Clinton or would run a 3rd party campaign or support trump or anything that some people have speculated about. I'm sure he will back them into a corner and get quite a few concessions from them on various things but I doubt he will go off and pout.

Good to hear that is still the case but i never suspected he had secret plans to do something else.

[SpareribSP]

14. The only people who are saying otherwise

have been Hillary supporters? Bernie wouldn't work against Hillary after she's nominated, that would be insane.

The argument here isn't about Bernie, it's that his SUPPORTERS, who feel left in the cold by Hillary for a large variety of reasons won't want to support her. It's because they're not following Bernie blindly, policy matters. Especially if Hillary's next moves are to lock out Bernie and pivot to the center, it'll ruffle a lot of feathers.

[LWolf]

17. Sorry. You're wrong.

The "won't like this" part.

Why? Because we've always known he'd support her after the primaries should he lose. We know because he said so early on. It's not a big surprise, no matter how much you'd like it to be.

[LexVegas]

18. He will fall in line, as will most of his supporters. nt
