Do you think President Obama found Bernie's press conference persuasive?

She was a true Statesperson.
Sanders is just playing the fool if he really is going to contest it in Philly. He'll have no speaking slot, he'll lose every bit of political capital he still has remaining.
And sadly, it looks like he is going down this road that could potentially cost the Democrats the White House.
The man is looking more and more like Nader v 2.2016.

(13,685 posts)Obama is not dumb enough to endorse Hillary before the FBI issues its report.
Isn't it odd that Obama hasn't already endorsed H? That should tell all yall that Obama knows something you don't.

(83,668 posts)That tells me you think Obama is dumb, just not that dumb. As for your FBI crap.
As for the endorsement. He is letting it play out as he should. Seems to me Bernie has a lot on his plate right now.... a half million dollars for a trip to Rome. Paid for by the Bernie campaign. Watch what you wish for.

(11,949 posts)The Bernie supporters will not let themselves ponder this picture: the president, press and party and Super delegates declare her to have reached the magic number and all move into GE mode.
What will Bernie do for the next 6 weeks? Have rallies that get no coverage? And if they do will make Bernie look exactly as you said...a poor loser that America hates. And where will he get the funding? Those rallies cost a fortune.
Finally his paid staff will start falling like flies as the find more secure jobs especially if the want a future kid with anyone in the Democratic Party.
I hope he takes the high road and behaved like Hillary did. If not we will have to watch the slow death of the campaign. And he is not guaranteed a speaking spot at the convention.
