11. Sander's has been in a lose / lose situation for a year. Second guessing is just that.

Our deciding what he should do is of no value. His life has been an example of real action. He doesn't need to 'start' doing that. People should stop judging and let this play out. In the end our opinions won't make a bit of difference. Imagine if he did what you suggest and use your words. 'This is just the photo op for posterity'........I don't think anyone who knows Bernie would consider that a compliment. People should keep their attention on what is happening on the Floor. Our country is in crisis and we need a resolution. We do not need photo OP's. Thanks for the opportunity to speak.

Can't imagine him doing that, and maybe not ever, even at or after the convention. tonyt53 Jun 2016 #18
He gave his word he would endorse and support the nominee, why would you not believe him? Maru Kitteh Jun 2016 #44

Bernie's day-to-day movements, thoughts, decisions, whims aren't that relevant anymore. CorkySt.Clair Jun 2016 #23
Ok, let's just stop here. liberalnarb Jun 2016 #24
Works for me. CorkySt.Clair Jun 2016 #25
Why then point out the irrelevance of the irrelevant unless they are yet relevant? LanternWaste Jun 2016 #40

I don't see Sanders ever really endorsing Clinton. lapucelle Jun 2016 #33
Agreed. Not that he can't walk it back, but that he can't unsee what he and many more have seen. JudyM Jun 2016 #45
At this point he's pretty irrelevant to me. I'm more focused on the GE NYC Liberal Jun 2016 #34
Meh! Ennnhhhhh! I think he waited too long for it to have any meaningful impact. NurseJackie Jun 2016 #37

Bernie cannot and will not do anything till after the convention. litlbilly Jun 2016 #52
When is this happening? HarmonyRockets Jun 2016 #53
At the convention. Why is everyone in such a rush? Exilednight Jun 2016 #56
