Sanders says Clinton’s platform could determine how much he would campaign for her


... does this sound like he's preparing himself for a Clinton nomination?

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders said in an interview broadcast Friday that he would wait to see what Hillary Clinton includes in her platform before deciding how actively to campaign for her in the fall if she is the party’s nominee.

The senator from Vermont, who has vowed to stay in the race until the Democratic convention, was asked by Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC whether he would try to persuade his young supporters to back Clinton in the same fashion that she supported President Obama after losing the nomination to him in 2008.

I agree. The platform is vital. If clinton can incorporate many of these issues into the party platform it will make a HUGE difference on whether or not many of us can campaign for her. Ignoring these issues will fuel the continuing movement and reduce the chance of a peaceful merger of energies.

He was asked a question and basically did not answer it.
