Sanders to endorse Clinton Tuesday in New Hampshire.

[kstewart33]

Huffington Post:

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is expected to formally endorse presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, potentially ending tensions between the two and easing the concerns of party leaders hoping for a united front ahead of the nominating convention later this month.

The endorsement is expected to occur next Tuesday, when Sanders and Clinton will appear together at a rally in New Hampshire, Democratic sources first told NBC News on Wednesday.

Sanders all but confirmed that he would endorse Clinton in an interview with Bloomberg on Thursday.

“We have got to do everything that we can to defeat Donald Trump and elect Hillary Clinton,” he said, adding that “I don’t honestly know how we would survive four years of a Donald Trump [as president].”

1. Great news!

[grossproffit]

2. I really wish some things could be a surprise but I guess that's impossible nowadays.

[Maru Kitteh]

54. Congratulations, it's a Boy!

feel better?

[grossproffit]

70. A bit, yes. bwahaha

[Nye Bevan]

3. Looking forward to welcoming Senator Sanders on board! (nt)

[NurseJackie]

83. It would be nice if it happens.

[MADem]

4. Good. Time to check the block and move forward. We have an election to win. nt

[NCTraveler]

5. K&R nt

[NurseJackie]

6. We'll see.

[KPN]

37. Yes, Hillary is our nominee.

No reason to fret, provided the article is legit. Bernie is a man of his word.

[NurseJackie]

45. That's an expression of doubt and cynicism, not "fret".

Bernie is a man of his word.

It remains to be seen. After so many unfulfilled promises during the primary regarding when his full tax returns would be released, I continue to have my doubts on whether I can trust everything he says.

[KPN]

47. Sorry -- I'm not perfect.

If you gauge politicians by unfulfilled promises, you have to doubt whether you can trust every one of them. Bernie's are relatively minor if actually real at all.

[pangaia]

73. Your restraint is admirable.

[NurseJackie]

77. Good grief! Why would any sort of "restraint" be needed?

Is the fact that someone doubts Sanders' sincerity a valid reason to "go-off" on them? Is the mere expression of uncertainty about what will actually happen a justifiable reason to "let-'em-have-it" with both barrels?

I was polite and factual, and I expressed my opinion. KPN had a different opinion and was polite as well. Why should KPN's response be considered to be a "restrained" one?

[pangaia]

96. Because it was.

[NurseJackie]

99. Ha!! :-D (You guys crack me up!)

[merrily]

78. +1

[NurseJackie]

82. ...

[merrily]

86. more at my Reply 79 to your post, which I was typing as you posted smilies over a +1 post.

[NurseJackie]

90. More what? What's so special about post #79? It's just a prodding "plus-one".

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512244307#post79

[merrily]

92. a +1 is "prodding?" LOL! But, I did mean Reply 85, not 79.

[NurseJackie]

93. In context, and in my opinion, yes it is. Why do my doubts about Bernie offend you so much?

But, I did mean Reply 85, not 79.

Oh, that makes more sense.

[Ken Burch]

68. No, it's all set. You really need to give the bashing a rest now.

The war's been over for weeks.

[NurseJackie]

69. Like I said, we'll see. We'll see if it happens as planned, AND ...

... we'll see how sincere and enthusiastic and believable he is. Personally, I have my doubts.

My lack of confidence in Bernie and my suspicions of his motives are not "bashing". It's really pretty silly for anyone to attempt to characterize my personal doubts about him as "bashing" or as "continuing the primary" in an (apparent) effort to shut-down any criticism of him at all.

He'll have to EARN my confidence and trust. So far, he hasn't. Will he ever? Who knows what the future holds? You're confident about what may yet happen, I remain skeptical ... so, ultimately, "we'll see" what the future holds when it arrives.

Enough of this hypersensitivity and hyper-defensiveness, Ken.

The war's been over for weeks.

Really? Tell that to Bernie.

[pangaia]

74. He will never earn your confidence and trust, no matter what he does.

[NurseJackie]

75. So, you're a mind-reader... and a clairvoyant too? Impressive.

... no matter what he does.

Why do you have so little faith in Bernie?

[pangaia]

95. I have 100% trust in bernie.

[NurseJackie]

100. I'm not so sure I believe you. The overconfidence exhibited here ...

... appears, in my opinion, to be a compensation for some lingering and nagging doubt, whispering out from some dark corner.

[pangaia]

105. Are you calling me a liar?

I have no fucking doubt whatsoever. He is the most honest politician I can remember.
So stuff it.

[NurseJackie]

108. My disbelief does not make you a liar...

... liars seek to deceive intentionally. You believe that which you claim, and I do not believe your claims.

So stuff it.

Stay classy.

[merrily]

85. The TOS and alert squads shut down, for now, criticism of Hillary. So, your pot shots at Bernie

are a little one-sided, no? And, since Hillary won the the primary, bashing Sanders is as pointless as it is one-sided. So, aside from goading the few priimary supporters of his who stil post here, why even engage in it, if you aren't still fighting the primary? Especially when what you are criticizing him for--breaking an alleged promise to formally endorse Hillary this coming Tuesday hasn't even happened yet.

BTW, I am really fine with the positive changes to the party platform he's fought for and won.

[NurseJackie]

88. Oh, good grief, Merrily. :-/ Doubts are doubts ... not bashing. And it remains to be seen ...

Last edited Sun Jul 10, 2016, 12:10 PM - Edit history (1)

... whether Sanders' "endorsement" and "concession" is just lip-service, unrehearsed and a bland cold-read off the teleprompter, or whether it's sincere and enthusiastic. I have my doubts. Clearly you dislike the fact that I'm doubtful and that I won't be convinced until I actually see and hear what he has to say ... but you'll just have to deal with it. It's a little silly to characterize my personal doubts as "bashing" Sanders or "fighting the primary". GMAFB!

[merrily]

89. You really should not smoke that much!

Just Plain Republicans.

[Cali_Democrat]

10. I always knew they were Republicans

That's why I treated them like shit and mocked them relentlessly.

[geek tragedy]

11. and now their watch has ended nt

[Scootaloo]

30. Well no, you did that because we supported a different candidate than you did

[KPN]

36. Exactly!

Admirable post.

[merrily]

80. +1 You are amazing, Scootaloo.

[zappaman]

13. No thanks, it looks way too much like Free Republic for my tastes!

[Agschmid]

17. Shit... I need a shower after reading some of that.

"Liberal" ... "Progressives"... Yah sure, whatever.

[AgadorSparticus]

24. A prime example of lost perspective....what a crazy group of people

😨😨😨

[Lord Magus]

26. I notice one of those posts linked to a WND spinoff.

Professional kook Joseph Farah realized that the WingNutDaily name had become toxic, so he created a second fake-news website with a different name.

[geek tragedy]

32. water seeks its own level nt

[emulatorloo]

104. Cornyn was the number one Bush Apologist and enabler in my book

Very very good liar and THE BEST at protecting Baby Bush.

It is odd to see such admiration for him.

[JohnnyRingo]

109. I always knew that site would be overrun by republicans

The very requirements for posting warmly invites them. All one has to do is agree to attack the Democratic candidate to maintain privileges.

It may have been originally designed to support Sanders, but i don't believe it was very well thought out in the long run.

[Happyhippychick]

14. I don't understand why they believe

That Bernie sanders hates Hillary the way they do. He's never behaved that way but they are utterly bereft that he is endorsing her. Why are they surprised?

[JaneyVee]

22. So true.

[AgadorSparticus]

25. They have a complete disconnect to reality.

[Nye Bevan]

35. Such a classy site!

Look at the creative nicknames they come up with there for Secretary Clinton!



http://jackpineradicals.org/showthread.php?10687-Hillary-nicknames

[joshcryer]

44. A literal hate site.

[NurseJackie]

94. A "moderator" checked in on the thread to confirm that sexism/racism is allowed… if cleverly worded.

Apparently it all depends on who the sexist and racist comments are aimed toward. Classy bunch of folks, huh?

As a moderator, I would like to weigh in here.

Yes, we have decided at JPR that we will not police language here. Swear words and well pretty much any word is acceptable depending upon context and use.

The one exception to this is if a poster calls someone else such a name. No one is allowed to call someone a 'cunt' or a 'nigger' or anything like that here.

Otherwise, we are not going to censor what people wish to communicate even if that communication, like this thread obviously letting off some steam, involves words that some might not like or would choose to never use themselves.

Thank you.

[NurseJackie]

76. Oh, how charming.

So that's where the Hillary-haters have congregated, eh? Well, better there than here.

[KPN]

38. Why?

[deepcover]

81. I'm blacklisted

Went over with this info, it took 4 posts before I was kicked off this uncensored and progressive site

[Surya Gayatri]

9. I'll K & R that, massively.

[mcar]

12. Great!

[JoePhilly]

15. Good

[Bill USA]

16. I'll wait to hear it before rejoicing. He may make it sound like "Well, if you don't want Trump.."

[bklyncowgirl]

18. That's a pretty damn good argument IMHO

It's the one that works for me.

[brooklynite]

21. Clinton's not that stupid...

...she won't agree to a joint appearance if they haven't agreed on EXACTLY what will be said.

[KPN]

39. Nor is Bernie.

[morningfog]

27. You think Hillary would join him on stage for that?

[Jester Messiah]

34. That is how he endorsed Bill.

Damning with faint praise. I think it's about what you can expect. There's a mile of daylight between Bernie and Hillary. It'll probably go something like "it beats a swift kick in the ass... barely."

[Demsrule86]

48. I doubt it.

Bernie sees the danger in a Trump presidency and will do the right thing. If Trump wins ...any chance for a progressive movement of any sort is gone.

[emulatorloo]

106. I saw the debates. It was mostly "I agree with Senator Sanders" and "I agree with Secretary Clinton

Until Weaver made the ultimately disasterous decision that Bernie should make personal attacks.

The daylight between them is not as broad as you think. They agree on more than they disagree. And even there it was disagreement on strategy.

At any rate, will be interesting to see this rally and how it plays out.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

19. Maybe I can start liking him again......

[hrmjustin]

20. I am so happy to hear this. I knew he would come through!

[MineralMan]

23. I'm glad he is doing it before the convention.

Good move, Bernie!

[morningfog]

28. He said long ago he'd support the dem nominee.

He held out long enough to get a good deal of his positions on the platform. He's done great work for Dems and the country with his run. All Democrats should grateful to him for what he's done this past year.

[KPN]

40. Absolutely! Couldn't agree more.

[Scootaloo]

29. So does that mean the absolute hatred of the man here will stop?

[John Poet]

31. GOOD. Now all the hard-core Hillary fans can quit

their pathetic whining about everything Bernie says or does not say, does or does not do, while simultaneously claiming that he is "irrelevant" and that no one should care what he says or does.


Since he's going to endorse her, I guess they'll now be
"proudly standing with Bernie Sanders" !


Doctors will be standing by to check for injuries caused by the violent nature of the flip-flops.

[KPN]

41. ....

[Vattel]

61. I doubt that the unhinged hatred of, and unfairness towards, Bernie and his supporters will stop.

But I hope there is a significant decrease.

[NurseJackie]

84. ...

[Todays_Illusion]

33. I think this push to force a pre-convention endorsement from Bernie Sanders is a very

deliberate attempt to completely demoralize his supporters, I think it is wrong to demand that Sanders capitulate before the convention.

[KPN]

43. It could backfire, but ...

Bernie has a lot of credibility with almost all of his supporters. I'm sure he has thought this out and believes he can endorse and be true to his supporters at the same time. We (Bernie supporters) are all frustrated with the establishment, but regardless of how demoralizing it may seem, it's also pretty hard to go against the guy who courageously shined a national spotlight on the fundamental wrongness of our current electoral and governance systems.

[sangfroid]

46. Of course

Bernie may back whoever he wishes. This country still has some of the characteristics of a democracy. And as I have said more than once, the moment the words "I endorse Hillery Clinton" pass his lips, all the foaming at the mouth will cease and the sugar will fall. Bernie will become "an honored elder statesman" instead "an old communist gun-lover leading a pack of out-of-control misogynists" and the so-called progressive platform will be rushed to the nearest paper shredder.

I, on the other hand, still need to be convinced.

[Todays_Illusion]

58. He committed to supporting the candidate, and staying in until the convention. I wish

The DNC should back of on pushing for an early endorsement.
I am not convinced and won't be rushed or bullied into a decision until after the convention.

[DCBob]

42. All will be "forgiven" if Bernie gives a strong endorsement.

[FailureToCommunicate]

49. Aren't we suposed to play nice now? Why the sour statement?

Remind us why Bernie needs to be forgiven.

[DCBob]

50. Just being snarky...

[StevieM]

63. Agreed. I supported Hillary from the beginning. And no fence mending is needed. (eom)

[NurseJackie]

101. Tardiness?

[John Poet]

52. Not from where I'm standing.

[democrattotheend]

55. That's how it happened in 2008, or at some point thereafter

As evidenced by how many 2008 Obama supporters supported Hillary this time around.

[DCBob]

57. Exactly... me included.

I was furious with Hillary until she gave her endorsement. Now I totally support her.

[merrily]

87. I, for one, forgive Sanders for one of the best Democratic party platforms in a good while.

[chillfactor]

51. nice to hear.....

I hope Sander's supporters follow suit....we need a united front going into the election....we can't have a president dumdum run the country into the ground.

[c588415]

53. It's good to see that Mr Sanders is ready to "kiss the ring"

Hillary Clinton 2016

[Maru Kitteh]

56. K&R. I hope recent events don't delay this. Looking forward to it.

[nolawarlock]

59. There was an email posted on Jacked Off Ridiculous ...

That was claimed to have come from the Sanders campaign that seems to imply that that the media was misreporting this endorsement thing. I hope finally does because this is getting really old really fast.

[nolawarlock]

64. Are you one of the ones on that site constantly praying for him to run third party?

Cuz clearly you're still fighting the primary.

[47of74]

66. Jacked Off Ridiculous...

Filing away for future use!

[nolawarlock]

67. I suppose we could steal Anderson Cooper's term ...

And call it the Jacked Off Ridiculist.

[47of74]

71. Is that his term for that site?

Or is that the term we're using to describe Anderson Cooper?

[nolawarlock]

98. Neither

Cooper does a segment called The Rediculist where he calls people out for something silly they've said or done.

Pretty much a great descriptor for that site.

[DemonGoddess]

62. I hope he does n/t

[liberalnarb]

65. Ok, good.

I think its time. Many would say past time.

[workinclasszero]

72. I hope this happens before the convention

With the backing of Sen. Warren and Bernie Sanders all democrats can unify against the present danger of a Trump presidency.

We need a massive GOTV to take control of this country away from the baggers who have obstructed President Obama every second of his administration so this country can get moving again for the average American!

[NurseJackie]

102. Yes, let's hope.

[PJMcK]

103. Why will this be in New Hampshire?

Since Senator Sanders is from neighboring Vermont, why will this event be held next door? Seems odd but I guess it's a scheduling issue.

Nonetheless, it's seems odd considering how Senator Sanders has been playing this post-primary game.

Regardless, he is an honorable man and his support is welcome by all Democratic voters.

[emulatorloo]

107. Fwiw, Obama and Hillary had a Unity Rally in NH back in '08

That's where she gave him a full-throated endorsement.

[Vinca]

110. I was considering going if it's in Unity, NH, but I can't find information about the event

anywhere. Has anyone stumbled across the particulars?
