Would Sanders allow Obama to speak at the convention?

[Renew Deal]

[wisteria]

1. My beat is in no.

And, aren’t you getting a little ahead of yourself?

[brooklynite]

2. Before or after Nina Turner?

[rzemanfl]

3. Good one. n/t

[highplainsdem]

12. Oh, God. The thought of havingn to listen to Nina Turner... I can guarantee I'll skip that speech.

[LiberalFighter]

31. So would a lot of other people.

[dawg day]

4. What about Clinton while we're at it?

[Eyeball_Kid]

5. Sanders' momentum, IMO, will have a half-life. He'll likely peak too early.

It will slow down once we have more primaries to go through. As we'll move forward, the probability of a brokered convention will increase. That's okay, IMO, as long as we continue to have a consensual process. I'm not worried about who will face Trump at this point. ANYONE is better than that monster.

And again, if Sanders is the nominee, I'll vote for him in a heartbeat, even though my reservations are substantial. No one will deter me from voting Democratic.

[highplainsdem]

13. We all have to vote Democratic. Vote blue no matter who.

[Desert grandma]

27. I am also reluctant to vote for Sanders.

I will only if he is the nominee. He and his campaign have promoted such divisiveness in our party. That does not bode well. If he is the nominee I too believe we will lose big time. I wish he would have stayed out of it. The country is center/left and much more moderate than he or his supporters are. I will vote for him if he or trump are the only choices, but I will not knock on doors or do any phone calling for him. I have grave concerns about down ballot races if he is the nominee.

6. Susan Sarandon would get the nod instead

[Bradshaw3]

7. I see we are refighting the 2016 primary

With Bloomie replacing Hillary. The repubs must be enjoying this.

[Laelth]

8. LOL.

I’d like to see anybody try to stop Barack Obama from speaking at the convention. Such an attempt would not go over well and would, ultimately, fail.

9. Sanders isn't even a Democrat, why would he have any say in the matter? n/t

[corbettkroehler]

24. He Will Secure The Democratic Nomination - At That Point, The Decision Is His

Don't forget that many of the changes to the convention this cycle, such as having the Superdelegates only vote beginning in the second round, occurred because of Sanders' efforts.

Would those changes have occurred in the Rules committee if here weren't a Democrat?

[monmouth4]

28. I strongly doubt he will secure the Democratic nomination, at least I'll pray he doesn't..n/t

[Cha]

29. Hey..

Aloha, Monmouth!

[monmouth4]

33. Aloha Cha, good to see you as always..n/t

26. Exactly. He doesn't decide who speaks.

[George II]

10. Why would he ever be in a position to even involved in that decision?

[nobuddy]

14. Bloomberg will probably throw Sanders a bone

[corbettkroehler]

25. Iowa And New Hampshire Have Awarded Him Convention Delegates

Once has won at least 1,991 of them, he will be the nominee and the decision will be his.

[RDANGELO]

11. Are you assuming that Obama wouldn't support Bernie.

Obama is going to support the nominee; Bernie would be a fool not to let him speak.

[Renew Deal]

15. I'm not assuming that at all

But Sanders might feel that Obama isn't pure enough.

[Cha]

32. No.. that's not what he's saying at all.

[rampartc]

16. yes. why not.

do you think Obama would call for unity and help get out the vote for our candidate?

or would he remind us that his spokesman called us "retards" and his homeland security department brutally oppressed the occupiers?

I think Obama would call for unity, even if bernie or sen warren is nominated. and he does give a great speech.

[DanTex]

17. Obviously, Obama will speak at the convention no matter who the nominee is.

[hedda_foil]

18. Of course he would. What a trollish question.

Stirring suit is an awfully Trumpish thing to do, you know.

[democratisphere]

19. Didn't know Sanders was running the convention.

[MineralMan]

20. Sanders Will Have No Say in That Decision

Of course Obama will speak at the convention.

[nobuddy]

22. obviously

why would Bloomberg not invite him?

[Gothmog]

21. I doubt it

Unless sanders has a clear majority of delegates, sanders will not control the convention

[corbettkroehler]

23. Yes, He Would, They're Friends, Remember (n/t)

[ibegurpard]

34. If Obama wants to speak at the convention

Obama will speak at the convention

[totodeinhere]

35. Of course he would and he would welcome Obama's support.

Obama has said he will support the nominee whoever it is.

[Vivienne235729]

36. Considering he has an AA problem, it would be incredibly foolish for him

To turn away Obama. If he does turn Obama away, I will go to my deathbed cursing his name. Every chance I get. Bc as it is, I don't think he can win the general on his own.

[Gravitycollapse]

37. Absolutely. Why wouldn't he?

[Moderateguy]

38. Why wouldn't he?

I fully expect even Hillary to speak and passionately endorse Bernie if he is the Democratic nominee. I do not want Sanders to be the nominee but if he is, we will rally around him-no question about it

[NurseJackie]

39. Probably not. He wanted Obama to be PRIMARIED for his 2nd term.

[corbettkroehler]

40. Here's The Affirmative Reply, Right From The Candidate

[Renew Deal]

42. That's pretty good

Hopefully his supporters are on board and he isn't booed by the audience.

[democrattotheend]

41. Of course he would

He made that pretty clear in an interview yesterday. He said in no uncertain terms that he wants Obama's support if he wins the nomination.
