No speaking slot - prime time or 3:00 AM - unless he gives a full throated endorsement of Hillary Clinton before the convention.

Sanders was just asked about Clinton and wall street donations. He basically suggested Trump is better because Clinton takes donations. He said she still needs to convince him that she will work for the middle class. Fuck him. He is so full of himself. Clintonâs record and positions speak for themselves. It seems like there is nothing that would convince him they are on the same side.

This âletting them down gentlyâ meme is just pure horseshit. This is about Bernieâs fetish for attention, not a means to get his supporters on board.
The longer Bernie stays in, the harder it will be to bring his supporters over. He makes no sense. He sounds like a deluded, bitter, angry old man. Heâs a joke.

Usually, no. Itâs more from a housekeeping persepectiveâŚthey have to finish all the clean up work, and thatâs easier done with the campaign still being an on-going concernâŚpaying off vendors, leases, salaries, debtsâŚall of those things.
In Bernieâs case however, he is still pushing the delusion that he is running for President, and still taking money in from donors. My guess is, he is playing cute with the FEC campaign laws (as he has been thoughout the primary) and is toying with the idea of creating a third party. Not suspending his campaign keeps getting him these interviews (he was also just on CNN this morning, so he is making the circuit now), and he is leveraging for a speaking position at prime time.
My personal feelings is that the Democrats need to shut him down yesterday with great prejudice. Bernie is not going to give an endorsement speech at the convention, he will make yet another stump speech and call for his supporters to reject the Democratic party and help build the Bernie Party.
Even if someone doesnât absolutely believe that will happen, they have to acknowledge that it is very much a possibility, and we simply cannot take the chance of Bernie doing something selfish and stupid at this point in the game.

Letting them down slowly sends the message that supporting Clinton is a difficult thing to do. It makes it so his supporters will be less likely to ever vote for Clinton. Sanders is helping Trump by taking his time with this.

"What we want is a government that represents all of usâŚ
Sorry dude thatâs humanly impossible. We have a majority rule and hopefully that majority will take it easy on the minority. Such is life.

Put another way: Sorry,dude, no, the position of the minority does not get equal weight with the position of majority.

Bernie Sanders will vote for Clinton, but not drop out ?
How does that work ?

Sanders indicated that he is unwilling to concede to Clinton anytime soon when asked why he wonât withdraw from the primary. "Why would I want to do thatâŚ
I refer you to your previous sentence:
âIâm going to do everything I can to defeat Donald Trumpâ
It you are honest about the former, then you need to endorse and drop out.

Thereâs 5 minutes they arenât talking about trumpâŚ
I say relax.
There are 2 reasons I trust this is all fine.
-
You all have said for months that Hillary is the strongest most qualified candidate, like ever. Such a candidate need not worry.
-
30 + years of caucusing with dems though he wasnt indebted to the party. He chose it, time and again.
Itâs all coordinated. All this has the blessing of the HRC campaign.
Itâs a slow walk for dramatic effect and to bring along the dead enders. If they are everything HRC supporters have said about them over the campaign it is needed.
If it wasnât donât you think we would have heard from the big dog? Damn, âanonymous sourcesâ would be dropping all kinds of hints this wasnât OK if it wasnât coordinated.
Itâs all good.
Trust your candidate.
No. They do that so they can continue to legally take in funds and donations to retire campaign debt.

As HRC did on 08, it will be done at the time of greatest advantage for the party and the candidate. Which in turn will also be good for Bernie and the country.
There would be no muzzling the big dog if this wasnât all coordinated and agreed to. Iâd like to think we could all agree there.
In 2008 Clinton suspended and endorsed 4 days after the last primary. Which in the 2016 calendar was over two weeks ago. And Clinton called for nomination by acclimation from the convention floor, not vowing to fight in the convention and training her PUMAs on how to protest and get arrested.
I get where you are coming from, that this is a stage-managed âlet the air out of the ballonâ type orchestrated series of moves, but Iâll believe it when I see it given Sanders history (both recent and going back all the way to his being a local pol in Vermont).

Thereâs horse left that barn already, now it is being handled by professionals from both campaigns. As has always been done.
08 was unprecedented in how long it took after âthe mathâ was clear.
16 is the logical extension of this.
After yesterdayâs Brexit election, it looks like Trumpâs fellow buffoon Boris Johnson is about to become PM in Britain. This sh!t is getting real. Time for Bernie to get with the program and get Clinton elected.

No it wasnât. Because Clinton actually (depending on how you factor in MIâs odd primary contest) got more of the popular vote, and it was only when the super delegates shifted en masse that the âmath became clearâ.

CBS had Bernie on this morning. Why? What a mistake. He went on to explain that he is holding Hillary hostage until she states exactly what he want her to say⌠Crazy as a loon!
