33. Delayed. Grudgingly. It lacked vigor, energy and sincerity...

... what we actually heard was more like his regular old stump speech (setting the stage for 2020?) and less about creating unity and supporting the party's nominee. The convention ended on July 28th, and Bernie was nowhere to be seen until September. Five weeks later!

Why? What was the delay? Where was he? What was he doing all that time?

All I'm saying is that that Bernie missed the boat when it comes to that crucial period of rallying his old supporters to support the party's nominee. AFTER the convention, there's a brief window of opportunity to show unity and to be the type of leader who puts personal feelings and disappointments BEHIND the bigger priorities of defeating the GOP.

I just didn't see that in Bernie's words or actions. I'm amazed that anyone would find what appeared to be lethargic and perfunctory appearances, to be a point of pride. Most reasonable people saw it as somewhat of a lackluster disappointment.
