Bernie's doing good on the Sunday talk shows [View all]

He's on message and responding directly and honestly to the conventional wisdom crap being tossed at him by the interviewers. Like the long distance runner he was, he looks like he has a second wind.

Pushing the issues and hammering the media (justifiably) for focusing on strategy rather than issues.

Will he actively throw his support to Clinton? It depends on her. If Clinton is the nominee it will up to her to convince his supporters -- and all Americans -- that she stands for the popular and important issues Sanders has been championing. She will have to earn their votes. It's not up to him to do that.

What about VP? "Jake I think it's time to recognize we have a planetary crisis...."

That's Bernie. hammering on the issues that matter, and not getting deflected by the sideshows.
