Sanders: 'We Have Got To Do Everything We Can' To Elect Clinton

Sanders is on board.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/sanders-elect-clinton-movement


Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) seems closer to putting his full support behind his opponent for the White House, Hillary Clinton, to further strengthen her campaign against the Republican Party's presumptive nominee, Donald Trump.


“We have got to do everything that we can to defeat Donald Trump and elect Hillary Clinton,” Sanders said Thursday to a Bloomberg reporter for a PBS program. “I don’t honestly know how we would survive four years of a Donald Trump [presidency]."


Let's do this.

...with the angry-at-Bernie threads now?

I stopped worrying about what Bernie was going to do after California. He has an agenda he wants to push and I felt that he was not so stupid that he would allow Trump to win as that would utterly destroy any hopes for that agenda. I ended up actually trusting his intentions.

So now that we're all (well, most of us) on the same team let's all be friendly to each other now. Many of us said hurtful things, but I think we all only wanted what we thought was best for all of us.

...anything after California (and probably before that) was/is only helping to cement the wedge that had been driven between us.
