Brilliant strategic move

I wonder why no one has thought of that before

can be very outspoken and knows how to stick the knife in and twist it (politically, not literally of course)If Bernie accuses him of being shady or doing something unethical because he endorsed Hillary, something tells me that ole Bernie may rue the day that he punched at Jerry. Jerry Brown might not go back at him right now (because the Governor is a seasoned politician and does not want to be a loose cannon and cause any trouble for Hillary's campaign)...but I wouldn't want to be on Jerry Brown's bad side. Bernie might want to tone down the rhetoric. It isn't working in his favor with the voters in California...and it sure isn't going to endear him to the Governor.

Governor Brown turned this state around. We love our Governor Moonbeam. And we loved him in Oakland when he was mayor.

popular guy like brown who has NO love for the clintons to speak of....I mean if this is sanders level of intelligence/strategy...we are saving america by ensuring sanders will never be elected...hopefullly to ANY political office..ever again


this is a dumb a move as I have ever seen in politics in decades....especially when you consider (even though Hillary has won the nomination).....but California was going to be a close primary vote...I think bernie, jane and the followers just gave a clear and convincing victory to Hillary as so many democrats are to vote in support of their Governor...


I though sanders had SOME smarts....not any more

some of them would stop and consider, if everyone is a sell out but Bernie, perhaps my definition of a sell out is a bit too unrealistic.
