Sanders Says It’s Clinton’s Responsibility To Bring His Supporters Into The Fold

"Ending a presidential primary is often a bitter affair. But with rare exceptions, the party’s factions usually come together. That seems likely to be the case again this year with the Democrats, even as the contest drags out longer — and grows a bit more contentious — than many party members find comfortable.

On Sunday morning, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) reiterated his long-standing commitment to defeating Donald Trump in the fall, whether he is the nominee or Hillary Clinton gets that honor. But while not conceding defeat, he notably added that the responsibility for bringing his disaffected supporters into the fold – should he lose – doesn’t rest solely or even primarily with him."

In spite of the MSM's distortion, Hillary has been doing that.

A few days ago I was at a Hillary event in San Jose, and she was extremely gracious, and complementary regarding what Sanders and his supporters have done.

In fact, she has been doing this for a while now, but of course that isn't even mentioned.

when you look at their responses to tough situations. She handles things with grace and humility, while he always goes crazy and starts throwing people under the bus.

Actually, they both have to work toward it. This inane talking point that the MSM has been spewing about, actually has elements of sexism built into it.

For every Bernie or Bust person who won't vote D in protest of HRC, there's a newly registered POC, woman, or young person who will.

".. whether he is the nominee or Hillary Clinton gets that honor.."

See, he needs to wake up and smell reality.

Of course he's not going to ask his fans to support Hillary.. he's already trained them to hate.. that would make him a liar. lol

Sanders is a onnery, vindictive, thin skinned, bitter, old crackpot. Why should he do anything to unite the Democratic Party? He's not a Democratic and he never was one, he just played one on TV.

It is neither Clinton's nor Sanders' responsibility. It is the voter's responsibility (in a Democracy). As always it is that individual's right to vote (in secret) for whomever he chooses to with no review nor oversight, for whatever reasons he likes. And he has to answer to no one but himself! Of course the candidates can campaign for their votes but it is the voter's personal responsibility to make that decision! OK, I got a little repetitious.
