Evergreen Emerald

2. I saw him on Meet the Press

He has demands for Hillary before he will decide to endorse her.

It is the first time I can recall a losing campaign demanding the winning campaign of taking on the losing campaign's platform.

It believe it is unwarranted arrogance. And, he seems to want it both ways. I have heard him say that he has no control over his supporters. And conversely, if his demands are not met, he will not assist the democrats.

Ironically, there is really very little difference between Hillary's stances and Sanders' rather it is about process. And, it has been determined by a multitude of independent experts, that Sanders' process will not make the changes that Hillary's will.
