Trump has no chance. Even his party is trying to get rid of him. brush Jun 2016 #176
Bernie has tried to tell them he can't just tell his supporters what to do. Boy are they going to Skwmom Jun 2016 #112
Also, I don't care who he votes for. His one vote isn't going to make a big difference. GoneFishin Jun 2016 #133
I don't think he should endorse anyone. Skink Jun 2016 #4
Why? cali Jun 2016 #5
He doesn't owe anybody a thing Skink Jun 2016 #6

Welcome prediction. Hope it works out this way. Thanks. Surya Gayatri Jun 2016 #9
It will. His comments yesterday made that clear. cali Jun 2016 #11
His "when I'm President" affirmation during yesterday's rally was confusing. Surya Gayatri Jun 2016 #21
He's being pulled in 20 directions, and he is trying to honor his committment Armstead Jun 2016 #48

Your post is over the top name-calling, inappropriate and rude Maru Kitteh Jun 2016 #88
It's sad to me that not a single DU Bernie supporter speaks out against this. yardwork Jun 2016 #89
If more people alert on it, they won't have to Maru Kitteh Jun 2016 #91
It's not so much about the alerts as the silence, to me. yardwork Jun 2016 #93

IOW, I met him once so I know him better than anyone. Dawgs Jun 2016 #19
I've met him about a dozen times. He's represented me for decades cali Jun 2016 #25
Of course he will. He said he would. That means he will. Bluenorthwest Jun 2016 #23
Me too. I had no idea that he'd do so well or change cali Jun 2016 #28

No offense but 'some of' any candidates supporters are buffoons, criminals, jerks, you name it. Bluenorthwest Jun 2016 #51
True. We should all keep that in mind. randome Jun 2016 #62

He gave his word. And much as I want the democratic party to change cali Jun 2016 #33
Sanders has postioned himself to become one of the most powerful members of the Senate corkhead Jun 2016 #38
Yes, if he helps turn the Senate blue and get Hillary elected, he will be rewarded. yardwork Jun 2016 #85
He could do it post-convention. Smarmie Doofus Jun 2016 #39
He'll get a *YUGE* speech at the convention, prime time and lots of input Maru Kitteh Jun 2016 #96
He gave his word to be a Democrat now and forever. apnu Jun 2016 #43
Yep. It would violate the most basic principles of his campaign to reward the establishment for GoneFishin Jun 2016 #129
His endorsement or not is not going to change a thing about what they do or don't do. SusanCalvin Jun 2016 #144

I'm not quite sure Bernie 'promised' to endorse Clinton Jennylynn Jun 2016 #166
If he falls in line and behaves like other politicians then the momentum is dead. GoneFishin Jun 2016 #132
I don't think he's capable of "behaving like other politicians," SusanCalvin Jun 2016 #149
