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.

If the DNC puts Joe in as first, it will be the same.

Joe will probably take the secondary role, just to save his own skin.

More people have found out what Hillary is though.

There will be record turnout in heavy Dem areas.

I still expect President Trump to win.

Sanders will somehow end up with another paid off house for this.

She who must not be criticized shows her Socialistic/Communistic desires. She is a True Progressive DemocRAT who wants the end of American and the beginning of AmeriKa.

She’s still angling for her rematch, and she figures now that she can win a two person race against Bernie, hence her attacks on him (to prop him up).

“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.”

That's a helluva platform to run on!

What did they pay Nana Pickles for this endorsement?

Bernie got a house in 2016 and in 2008 Hillary got a cabinet position to support the Democrat nominee.

Hillary is so full of sh*t. She is saying this now so when she is selected at the convention (plan A) it will help her to get the Burn support.

She lies, always.
