In reversal, Clinton says she’d back Sanders if he’s nominee
Associated Press ^ | January 22, 2020 | Will Weissert

In an abrupt about-face, Hillary Clinton said Tuesday night that she would endorse her 2016 rival Bernie Sanders if he wins the Democratic nomination to face President Donald Trump in November.

The former secretary of state had earlier refused to say whether she would endorse Sanders in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Tuesday, instead telling the outlet: “I’m not going to go there yet.” She had also offered a broad condemnation of the progressive candidate’s style of politics.

“I thought everyone wanted my authentic, unvarnished views!” Clinton tweeted Tuesday night. “But, to be serious, the number one priority for our country and world is retiring Trump, and, as I always have, I will do whatever I can to support our nominee.”

Her initial comments ripped open the scars of the brutal 2016 primary battle between Sanders and Clinton just as Democrats are poised to begin voting on their next nominee. Sanders’ loyalists believed the Democratic establishment had rigged the primary in favor of Clinton, who won the nomination but ended up losing the general election to Trump. …

What’s the liberal media to do, eh? Pulled in one direction, and now suddenly the other.

The best thing about 2020 election is (if Trump wins) Hillary will begin to fade. She’s never going away. But fading, our only hope, would begin

Hillary is so familiar to me. She is everything and everyone life has shown to me as being phony, self-absorbed, selfish, unempathic, untrustworthy, and emotionally frigid - with the exception of things involving them. She actually makes me sick.

So Ms Clinton would endorse an anti capitalist-communist. Should tell you all you want to know.

Clearest evidence yet that The Bern will not be the nominee. I’d put my money on Biden now. Everything seems to be falling in place for Biden and without a viable black candidate the kenyan will no doubt endorse him.

No, really we don't care Hillary, we just want to know how you feel about wearing orange before labor day, Hun.

Mission accomplished. She sowed distrust and doubt about Bernie through the pussy hat flock. She’s just enjoying what’s left of her political life. Go Hillary!

It will be Biden/Clinton or Clinton/Biden (if Joe doesn’t want to experience an unfortunate accident that leaves Hillary no choice but to assume the Presidency).

The liberals will go nuts with their crying at the Dem convention for Hillary.

The groundwork is happening right now.

You’re exactly right. Hillary would place an order with her suicide hot line and Bernie would be dead in no time.
