29. I voted for Sanders in the primary in VA. He lost. Now he's about to lose the whole shooting match.

So I'm voting for Clinton because Donald Trump getting into the WH scares me.

Not sure if that answers your question.

Highlight:

Would the President endorse Hillary Clinton if there was any risk that she was going to be indicted? [View all] DCBob Jun 2016 OP

The president will make sure she isn't. The Velveteen Ocelot Jun 2016 #1

This. He controls the AG so... scscholar Jun 2016 #80

yes because we know those black presidents just can't be trusted dsc Jun 2016 #92

If you saw something racist in that comment The Velveteen Ocelot Jun 2016 #94

He has shown zero examples of him breaking the law during over 7 years of rule dsc Jun 2016 #106

I suggested nothing of the kind. The Velveteen Ocelot Jun 2016 #107

any interference at all would be illegal dsc Jun 2016 #108

Then she'll be indicted by his Justice Department and the FBI. w4rma Jun 2016 #121

sounds like you're accusing our President of corruption with no facts MariaThinks Jun 2016 #127

No, I'm not. I don't think he'd do anything illegal or corrupt. The Velveteen Ocelot Jun 2016 #134

No mcar Jun 2016 #2

clearly he's not in the investigation loop... Jack Bone Jun 2016 #3

But HA Goodman is? onenote Jun 2016 #54

He hasn't endorsed her yet. HooptieWagon Jun 2016 #4

How about because Sanders was a worthy opponent? randome Jun 2016 #6

He will this week. DCBob Jun 2016 #8

Does anyone realize his endorsement HURTS her more than it HELPS?!?! basselope Jun 2016 #14

LOL! DCBob Jun 2016 #20

The fact that you don't understand shows how detached from reality you are. basselope Jun 2016 #48

More.. DCBob Jun 2016 #55

And you wonder why she has no path to victory. basselope Jun 2016 #58

Hillary is going to slaughter Trump. DCBob Jun 2016 #64

LMAO!! basselope Jun 2016 #71

You are clearly suffering from DDD. DCBob Jun 2016 #76

Sorry, but no. basselope Jun 2016 #78

Or maybe it just shows that you're wrong. -nt- Lord Magus Jun 2016 #109

I'm not. Sorry. basselope Jun 2016 #124

That makes exactly zero sense. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #23

TwilightZone is right. basselope Jun 2016 #53

He is enormously popular with Democrats -- moreso than either Sanders or Clinton onenote Jun 2016 #66

Because democrats are meaningless and are only 29% of the population. basselope Jun 2016 #75

Actually its national numbers that are meaningless onenote Jun 2016 #83

Obama's endorsement is generally meaningless UNLESS he completely withheld it. basselope Jun 2016 #89

A large percentage of "independents" don't vote for anyone but Democrats. Zynx Jun 2016 #100

Not large enough. basselope Jun 2016 #123

I suspect very few people 'realize' something that goofy. onenote Jun 2016 #26

And this is why the democratic party is in such danger of losing. basselope Jun 2016 #57

He's endorsing her at a time comparable to when Bernie endorsed him onenote Jun 2016 #61

He's not doing anything yet. basselope Jun 2016 #67

Nor will he be. onenote Jun 2016 #70

Every single time the convention was contested. basselope Jun 2016 #72

This convention GulfCoast66 Jun 2016 #82

Since she didn't earn the required number of delegates, it is a contested convention. basselope Jun 2016 #87

So 08 was also contested? GulfCoast66 Jun 2016 #88

It was until Clinton withdrew. basselope Jun 2016 #90

This year GulfCoast66 Jun 2016 #91

So you think Bernie will withdraw... if he does, then Obama will endorse. basselope Jun 2016 #113

Wow GulfCoast66 Jun 2016 #119

So says the random MSNBC source. basselope Jun 2016 #128

Whatever GulfCoast66 Jun 2016 #130

There is no planet in which I vote for Hillary. basselope Jun 2016 #137

Well GulfCoast66 Jun 2016 #138

Don't worry, i will be here. basselope Jun 2016 #142

Glad you will stay GulfCoast66 Jun 2016 #143

Seriously? More than half the country approves of Obama. Zynx Jun 2016 #98

Depends on the poll.. some are just under, some are just over. basselope Jun 2016 #114

The preponderance recently has shown him over 50%. Zynx Jun 2016 #115

Not really. basselope Jun 2016 #125

obviously DrDan Jun 2016 #17

Out of respect for the primary process and her opponent. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #16

I disagree. The President is trying desperately to salvage his libdem4life Jun 2016 #5

Really. Really. libdem4life Jun 2016 #131

Salvage his reputation? Have you looked at his approval numbers lately? TwilightZone Jun 2016 #18

You noticed that too? PepperHarlan Jun 2016 #27

Wait a few years. bvar22 Jun 2016 #28

Irrelevant to the conversation. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #30

You seem to be the one losing it. bvar22 Jun 2016 #47

I think the word "maintain" would be appropriate. libdem4life Jun 2016 #42

I agree...I used the wrong word. In retrospect, I think early endorsement libdem4life Jun 2016 #135

Salvage? Do you live in some world where Obama is very unpopular? Zynx Jun 2016 #102

His reputation and future career don't need salvaging. LonePirate Jun 2016 #133

Already Mea Culpa ed. Wrong word. EOS libdem4life Jun 2016 #136

You don't trust the WH and the AG who have said Obama has not been briefed morningfog Jun 2016 #7

I believe them but I also believe Obama knows what's going on. DCBob Jun 2016 #9

Unless he's read the emails that Hillary deleted after morningfog Jun 2016 #12

He knows.. trust me. DCBob Jun 2016 #21

Yet lots of posters on this site and lots of bloggers like HA Goodman onenote Jun 2016 #34

He's not runninig for office again so there's no pressure to please potential snagglepuss Jun 2016 #43

I'm guessing he sees how well the Clintons made out Post-WH, and wants to be set in perpetuity... AzDar Jun 2016 #44

Yep 840high Jun 2016 #84

Obama is in need to support the candidate, who sadoldgirl Jun 2016 #22

yes, and sooner rather than later so that he can maintain plausible deniability. aikoaiko Jun 2016 #31

How would he know? Are you implying that QC Jun 2016 #32

How do all the posters on this site who say she's about to be indicted onenote Jun 2016 #37

He has the best legal advisers on the planet. DCBob Jun 2016 #51

LOL!! Ha Goofman. DCBob Jun 2016 #65

Yep. DCBob Jun 2016 #81

Exactly! okasha Jun 2016 #112

Yes he would regardless ram2008 Jun 2016 #40

Is he supposed to know less than the bloggers predicting her indictment onenote Jun 2016 #50

Of course he will endorse her when she clinches the nomination. Nye Bevan Jun 2016 #41

as far as we know grasswire Jun 2016 #46

which doesn't happen until late July. basselope Jun 2016 #59

to protect himself, yes, if he has some risk. grasswire Jun 2016 #45

He's in a tricky position loyalsister Jun 2016 #56

Sanders faces FEC fines and possible DOJ Indictments beachbumbob Jun 2016 #52

And clearly he has not endorsed her. What you hear are hopeful rumors. Zen Democrat Jun 2016 #62

It sounds like more than rumors.. DCBob Jun 2016 #73

Well, this place is home to hopeful rumors isn't it? onenote Jun 2016 #74

If the FBI recomends indictment, and the DOJ does not indict, RDANGELO Jun 2016 #85

So what will your story be when Obama DOES endorse Hillary? -nt- Lord Magus Jun 2016 #110

this is easily dealt with by the zealot by saying Obama will "fix" the investigation. LOL!! Bill USA Jun 2016 #96

Obama cannot interfere in any way with an ongoing investigation by the DoJ. Warren Stupidity Jun 2016 #97

Sure.. but.. DCBob Jun 2016 #103

That's BS. Like she'd tell Obama the truth! BillZBubb Jun 2016 #139

He doesn't have to "interfere" to know what's happening. -nt- Lord Magus Jun 2016 #111

Actually he would interfere by involving his office in any way with the investigation Warren Stupidity Jun 2016 #144

I'm sure he has some unnamed sources MadBadger Jun 2016 #141

Oh, so not only interfering in an ongoing investigation but explicitly acting to avoid detection Warren Stupidity Jun 2016 #145

What i said isnt interference at all MadBadger Jun 2016 #146

Only if he planned to slide his sidekick Biden in as the Presidential nominee after acting Skwmom Jun 2016 #101

OP excellent point MFM008 Jun 2016 #104

I don't think he knows if she will be indicted democrattotheend Jun 2016 #116

He's a lame duck, so what's the risk? BKH70041 Jun 2016 #118

He's no lame duck. He will have a huge impact in his last several months. DCBob Jun 2016 #120

Is that when he pushes the unpopular bills down our throats, like the TPP? (nt) w4rma Jun 2016 #122

that's what i say MariaThinks Jun 2016 #126

Clearly the answer on Hillary being indicted is NO. Thinkingabout Jun 2016 #129
