2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Next week, Bernie will drop out and strongly endorse HRC. There is nothing hypocritical [View all]pampango
(24,692 posts)119. I support Bernie. I care what he thinks and endorses. No bus with Bernie's name on it
as far as I am concerned. He is a class guy who cares deeply about the 99%. If he endorses Hillary it will be because he thinks it is the right thing to do. It won't be out of blind party loyalty. He's not really a Democrat and he owes the Democratic Party little and will probably not run again in 2020.

His "when I'm President" affirmation during yesterday's rally was confusing.

Hard to say, but I suspect he is NOT privy to any more insider info. than the POTUS and VPOTUS.

Hillary doesn't deserve his endorsement, but he will give it for the good of the country.
