Robert Reich: You need to “work like hell” for Hillary Clinton if Bernie doesn’t win
Bernie Sanders die-hards aren't ready to hear that his fight for the nomination is nearing an end — even from some of his most prominent surrogates.
On Thursday, Sanders ally Robert Reich published a Facebook post urging readers to not "demonize or denigrate" Hillary Clinton, and to be prepared to vote for her in a general election against Donald Trump.
"If [Clinton] wins the Democratic nomination, I urge you to work like hell for her," said Reich, who endorsed Sanders months ago. "She’ll be an excellent president for the system we now have, even though Bernie would be the best president for the system we need."
It didn't go over so well. Few commentators have more credibility with Sanders loyalists than Reich, a Berkeley public policy professor and former labor secretary who has become a leading critic of income inequality. Reich also took pains to stress that Sanders could still win the nomination, and that his supporters should keep pushing for him until the final ballot is cast.
