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 partys nominee.

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.

the vote or some positive action. But, I do not want Sanders to campaign.... at all.
