Discussion: Sanders: 'We Have Got To Do Everything We Can' To Elect Clinton

I figured it was straight from the Bernie camp, but thanks for tying up your phone line for us.

What upset me about Bernie is he’s spent 20 times more energy going after Hillary than he has at going after Trump.

That “no more hitches” thing is what has me rolling my eyes a bit. What does that even mean? I had to wear a nice dress and heels to work yesterday because of a Board meeting. That’s hitch for me when everyone else was dressed in summer casual. Anything can be a hitch, which makes me wonder what games are still being played. I hope I’m wrong, but I’ve been hoping to be wrong about Bernie for a while now and it hasn’t panned out.

Hmmm…trying to make a witty line about Bernie’s endorsement and dating a skittish girl, but can’t quite come up with a way without me sounding like a neanderthal and wanting a throwback to the 50’s.

Possibility was closer to snowball’s chance in Hell, not unlike conflating the unexpected win in Michigan with a viable path to the White House.

Wonder how this will play out with the Bernie Bros who claim they will vote for Drumpf? Will Bernie’s “selling out” (which is how you know they will view it) keep them home on election day?

The fact that more GOP’ers like Clinton than Trump should give all of us pause. Bernie’s cautious approach is appreciated.

Yeah, I hear you.

I suspect in this case is mostly Mitchell hedging her statement because the Bernie camp won’t come right out and say it, and she is about done with them as well. That’s my guess, anyway.

I do think, however, that it will happen. He basically crossed the Rubicon with this statement…saying that we have to do all we can to elect Clinton.

Personally, I still believe we spent too much time playing pussyfoot with this guy and worrying about his feelings, but, whatever. I will take the endorsement on Tuesday and be glad it gets him off the radar finally.

You mean because Clinton can win the election BIG by pulling in disaffected republicans should GIVE US pause? I know this is snarky, but you do know how elections are won, right? The one who gets the more votes.

DAMMIT, BERNIE! You’ve said you’re going to vote for her, you’ve said you are going to everything to ensure she wins – WHY THE BLEEP WON’T YOU JUST ENDORSE HER ALREADY?

The only reasons I can think of is you either have too big an ego or are scared of your supporters turning on you like they turned on Warren.

If you had done this three weeks ago you would have been seen as a great leader moving to the next stage of your role in politics. Now you look like a cranky old man dribbling out faint praise for a hated rival who stole your girl.

If you think Clinton’s gonna get 40+ million Republican votes, I have an exciting investment opportunity that you should know about: a trans-Atlantic bridge.

I agree with that. All of his previous statements have been along the lines of “we have to do everything we can to defeat Trump.” This is the first time he has even mentioned that this means electing Hillary Clinton. I think part of the deal was her statement yesterday about college tuition, which basically reiterates what’s she been saying all along, but it if takes repeating her platform plank on higher education, then whatever.

Yeah. I don’t think “fact” means what you think it does.
