Another day, another prominent supporter of Bernie Sanders begins the provisional pivot toward Hillary Clinton. In a week which has already seen Sanders endorser Robert Reich urging his fans to tamp down their anti-Hillary rhetoric, and Sanders donor Patton Oswalt suggesting that any Bernie fan who doesn’t support Hillary if she’s then nominee is a “child,” now the host of progressive talk show The Young Turks is steering his own Bernie-leaning fans in a similar direction.

Well, at least one of The Young Turks hosts is coming around. After Jimmy Dore went on a bender in which he referred to Hillary Clinton as a fascist and made the bizarre argument that the nation would somehow be better off under Donald Trump, he was swiftly rebuked by host Cenk Uygur. The popular Uygur bluntly stated “I’ve been to too many Holocaust museums” by way of making the argument against Trump’s racist and scapegoating policies, and making clear that Bernie fans would be far better off by voting for Hillary if she’s the nominee.

1. He still wants to wait to see what happens next week.

2. Yeah, well, me too.

It's going to be delicious. With the 11th hour media shift against Sanders, Clinton surpassing every poll average wouldn't surprise me.

6. Yes. I will be gloating over the fact that Sanders' intransigence

after NY cost him dearly in his standing in the D Party and will have reduced any political leverage he had left by half.

3. Next week: They are still going to be The Yelling Turds

and I still won't want anything to do with them.

5. I never listen to them and once I realized they were in BS camp

I had no interest. My goal has been to keep my sanity.

But if people are going to start talking in a way that makes sense, that is acknowledging that the GOP is a disaster that we cannot wish on any one, I, personally, am happy to welcome in my life.

Because the fight that is looming is gonna be ferocious in the General and the more the better. We will need everyone. I will forget everything that was not great in the Primary in a NY minute!!! I will start from that moment as if it was moment one!!!

4. “I’ve been to too many Holocaust museums”

Indeed.

8. Under the bus? (Will Bernie's fans have ANY friends left?)

... other than Susan Sarandon and Killer Mike, I mean.

9. Good question

10. Cenk Uygur is not an idiot, he's going to do what's right.

One of the things that I like about him, he's not an ideologue to the end.

12. Cenk Uygur can go fly a kite...

Keep in mind folks that this guy played a MAJOR part in stoking the fires that led to this idiotic "Bernie or Bust" movement so prevalent on the left, was one of the first to start questioning rather Hillary is a liberal, and he's a former Republican who has even harshly criticized the president. Uygur has a long way before he redeems himself in my eyes. His bombastic purity talk has contributed to the divisiveness we see on this discussion board and in the real world and across the Net.

However, I'll give him some credit... At least he spoke up against Jimmy Dore. I've liked Dore in the past even when others said he was just an idiot comedian. Now I see that he is indeed an idiot. The joke was on me!
