āHeās still got a chance!ā - HA Goodman, hugging his legs and gently rocking back and forth.
Letās hope that Bernie convinces his supporters that sitting out does nothing to help them or the legacy heās put forward. All that will do is give the winning candidate permission to ignore Bernieās supportersā concerns going forward because they didnāt show up and follow through on demanding attention.
Pokestop
I expect his stump speech with a āmust do everything to defeat Trumpā line, and tiny amount backhanded support for Clinton. He wonāt lift a finger to rally his supporters to get behind Clinton.
You mean again?
I presume that it will be a bit tepid for those still hung up on scoring points against those who are not excited by our nominee.
But, again, to think they arenāt working together, and all of this slow ramp up of support isnt on purpose and agreed to by all is silly.
The tell is Bill. If he didnt like the way this is being rolled out, weād know about it.
This leaves the current crescendo of support on track to the convention. The convention speach will be the more resounding endorsement. This worked on 08. I presume the campaign wouldnt want to throw out a known working strategy.
I canāt quite see him delivering a full throated personal endorsement of HRC, but he will endorse the democratic nominee to stop Trump and will tout the democratic party platform ā for which he will take credit for moving leftward. Whatever it takes to make sure as many of his supporters vote for HRC (or the democratic nominee as the only way to stop Trump.)
BTW, Kshama Savant ā the socialist on our Seattle City Council went on a rant a couple of days ago (on FSTV) that Bernie supporters had no obligation to him and should abandon him for Jill Stein because the movement is bigger than him. Made me nervous. I am not sure what kind of clout he actually has anymore (at least here.)
Apparently some BorB folks are there at the event, chanting Feel The Bern, etc. now. Interesting to see how Sanders will handle them.
ETA: And NeverHillary t-shirt.
Itās about time, Bernie. We need to move forward. You gave it good try, but she got more votes. End of story.
If that were his intention,HRC would not be making a joint appearance with him.
From the Hillary HQ at FB. Her campaign wants supporters to see this from a reporter whoās covered her for years.
Hillary Clinton is fundamentally honest and trustworthy.
Still, Clinton has mainly been constant on issues and changing positions over time is not dishonest.
Itās fair to expect more transparency. But itās a double standard to insist on her purity.
Why donāt you people quit whining about this? Put away your defective crystal balls, look to see what he does, then get off your couch potato asses and go work for Clinton and get her some votes from the Sanders supporters. I love people who want to preserve their right bitch above all else. Jeezus.
Clinton & Sanders have arrived & are chatting backstage, per aides. Their last face-to-face meeting was about a month ago at the DC Hilton. (via NBC Monica Alba)
I assume you have been very busy getting out the vote for Dems then?
good.
Maybe in 4 months theyāll recover their sanity and pull the Hillary lever.
About as obnoxious as the PUMAs of yesteryear.
Itās sort of amazing how much so many of those on this forum are so critical of both Bernie and his supporters, attacking him even as he is just about to endorse Hillary, and yet are so pissed off at supporters of Bernie for the negatives they lob at Hillary and Hillary supporters.
For those who supported Hillary all along, your candidate won, was winning the entire primary and will likely be President. All of you could show a little grace to Bernie supporters, who deeply cared about his candidacy but had to watch Bernie lose. Try winning with a little grace.
and about as effectiveā¦
PUMAs got tons of press coverage but had no impact on the election of President Obama!
Love how Sanders supporters always want Hillary supporters to turn the other check but refuse to do so themselves.
I refer my honorable friend to the reddit posted above.
