(10,502 posts)them not to. Later when they see how well he does and realize the American people are really fed up with the corruption caused by campaign donations, it will be too late for an endorsement. When Bernie is elected President, many will start to come out and support his policies because they will figure out that all of that campaign money will still not get them elected.
