When Hillary gets the nomination (HILLARY GROUP)

What are the chances that Bernie will stump for her and encourage his supporters to back Hillary?

Surely the man realizes that we cannot under any circumstances allow Trump or Cruz to have the keys to the White House. My god, just thinking about that scenario of either one of them becoming president scares the living shit out of me.

I hope that Bernie will do what Hillary did for Obama in '08 where she not only backed Obama but worked hard in ensuring a victory for him.

Here is a video of one of Hillary's finest and classiest moments.

I suspect he's one of those who'd be glad to see things get worse if he thought it would make more people join his "revolution"

I sure hope he does the right thing - has he ever campaigned for anyone besides himself?

A lot of damage to the Dem party has been done by Sanders supporters.

absolutely endorse her and stump for her.

But unlike Hillary in 2008, his base is very narrow. He is not popular like she was. They'll have to strategically deploy him to college towns in swing states. It will be important symbolism for him to throw his support behind her, and show that she is the progressives choice, but he is not delivering the same weight as she was 8 years ago.

Unlike Nader who actively tried to destroy Democrats, the very people who were on his side.

A President Gore would have done more of what Nader wanted.

Oh well.
