Bernie Sanders: 'Yes' I will vote for Hillary Clinton
CNN ^ | June 24, 2016 | David Wright

Posted on 06/24/2016 6:04:37 AM PDT by McGruff

Bernie Sanders said Friday he will vote for Hillary Clinton for president in November, the strongest expression of support yet from the Vermont senator for his rival, and his clearest admission that he will not be the Democratic presidential nominee.

"Are you going to vote for Hillary Clinton in November," asked Nicole Wallace on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"Yes. Yes, I think the issue right here is I am going to do everything I can to defeat Donald Trump," Sanders said. "I think Trump in so many ways will be a disaster for this country if he were to be elected president."

Well I guess that settles that. Or did Bernie open his mouth and insert his foot again.

Sanders was also asked why he wouldn’t withdraw from the race if he’s acknowledged Clinton will be the Democratic nominee.

He replied, “Why would I want to do that when I want to fight to make sure that we have the best platform that we possibly can? that we win the most delegates that we can, and that we transform — the goal of our campaign was to transform this nation.”

Bernie just has to convince his disgruntled and disillusioned followers to do likewise.

I saw a news item (Drudge?) yesterday saying that they expect HALF of Bernie’s supporters to either stay home or vote Trump.

No, the thinking is that if Bernie supports Hillary, many of his sheep... er, followers, would too, instead of sitting home or voting for Trump.

Did anyone expect anything different?

Sanders’ campaign was always a carefully controlled Clinton operation to see how Leftist she could be. Sanders actually came close to winning, so Clinton had his campaign implode. Based on the results, she is going to be running hard Left this election cycle (especially since the “NeverTrump conservative” bloc is comprised of approximately 30 people, not 3 million).

Didn’t Bernie say that Hillary lacked the judgment to be President?

But half his supporters won’t! Run the numbers, somebody, because I suspect that is Hillary’s death sentence right there.

I guess at the end of day Bernie has lost interest in integrity in DC, controlling the too-big-to-fail banks, and reigning in an out of control Military Industrial Intelligence Complex.

Hopefully his supporters get the message.

At least he sees the writing on the wall and folds up his campaign. Way more class than the second place turd in the GOP field who will not endorse and whose surrogates are out trying to steal the first ballot. Fear of banishment requires me to use the term turd. I would have opted for something more harsher for the snake handler.
