Just a few of the fall 2016 headlines that are readily accessible:

"Bernie Sanders to campaign for Clinton, McGinty in Scranton on Saturday"

"Bernie Sanders to campaign for Hillary Clinton, Russ Feingold in Milwaukee on November 2nd"

"Bernie Sanders To Campaign For Hillary Clinton In Colorado"

"Bernie Sanders to campaign for Hillary Clinton in Minnesota"

"Bernie Sanders Campaigns for Hillary Clinton in Ann Arbor"

"Bernie Sanders Packs Schedule With Campaign Stops for Hillary Clinton"

"Bernie Sanders to step up campaign schedule for Hillary Clinton"

"Bernie Sanders Goes 'All In' for Hillary Clinton With an Eye Toward Post-Election Goals"

"Bernie Sanders Stumps for Hillary Clinton in Maine During Late Campaign Blitz"

I invite you to name one person other than Hillary herself and her immediate family who campaigned more for her than Bernie Sanders.
