MANCHESTER, N.H. — Bernie Sanders returned to the campaign trail on Monday and received the warmest welcome possible — a Labor Day breakfast, sponsored by the AFL-CIO, in the state that gave him one of his biggest primary wins. His mission: to help elect the Democrat who had run against him.
"We are not talking about personalities," said Sanders, explaining why he'd endorsed Hillary Clinton and would be stumping against Donald Trump. "We are talking about which candidate will better represent the needs of the American people."
Monday's speech was Sanders's first outside Vermont since the launch of his new group, Our Revolution, and his first for another candidate since the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia in July. He had spent the weeks in between working on a book, to be published after the November election, and weighing in on politics via Twitter and occasional interviews.
In New Hampshire, Sanders was back in campaign mode, telling a roomful of Democrats and labor activists that Gov. Maggie Hassan (D), who has built a narrow lead in polls, needs to win her Senate race.
"The future of the United States Senate is to a large degree the future of the United States of America," he said. "Our democracy today is being threatened in a very significant way by the wealth of the Koch brothers and other billionaires. You see that with Maggie Hassan. In Ohio, the billionaires will spend $100 million to buy that seat."

“We’re talking about who paid me more. Look, I got a $600,000 house out of this, and I avoided having my kneecaps broken, so I gotta say Hillary would be better for the country. I mean: I gotta say that.”
That’s almost as embarrassing (and damaging) as having Ødungo campaign for you.
I would bet money that the $600k was a down payment. Going out on the stump for Her Thighness will probably get him a bigger boat for the lake.
” ...Our democracy today is being threatened in a very significant way by the wealth of the Koch brothers and other billionaires...”
Says Bernie who is now a convert to the big money Hillary supporters
Bernie missing the limelight?
Hillary is too weak/drunk to campaign.
Bill has also been quiet recently.
Their little maggot ain’t uglying up any podium these days.
Kaine is not impressing anyone.
Now they drag out Bernie to provide the service he was paid to do.
Seems all the Clintons have gone into the bunker. They more people see and hear from them, the less Hillary dives in the polls.
Doh!

Someone needs to ask: “Where did you get that $600,000 to buy that third vacation property on your salary, Bernie?? I mean, I thought you communists were against such wealth? Corruption, Bernie?”
Yep, you nailed it.
