Rev. Jesse Jackson has announced that he is endorsing Hillary Clinton for president.

In a press release, Rev. Jackson listed the reasons for his endorsement of Hillary Clinton:

Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., is holding a news conference Saturday, June 11, at 12:30 P.M. to announce his personal endorsement of Secretary Hillary Clinton for president, “the most qualified and best hope” to rebuild urban America and stanch the scourge of joblessness and gun violence that has turned parts of Chicago and other cities across the country into killing fields.

1. Yay Rev Jesse!

2. It's a little late

He should've endorsed earlier.

3. Nah, a united front now is more important than an endorsement in a primary that's effectively

been over for months. It shows the depth and solidarity of the party, something that will be important for targeting independents and a few moderate Republicans.

4. agree completely

6. Many "leaders" in the party

Were a sure thing they'd endorse the Democratic nominee. Jackson being one of them.

It's not like he was going to endorse Trump.

So to me, this endorsement, at this time, means very little.

But I'll stop posting, there's no reason for me to rain on this thread. I remember being upset that he didn't endorse months ago when he could've chosen Hillary or Bernie. He should've chosen her months ago.
