“Imagine if Sanders does something similar today suppose he gives a nice speech but does not actually endorse Clinton. It would have the opposite effect among Democrats. It would solidify the opposition.”
Exactly. The big difference is that Sanders supporters (correctly) assume that the game was rigged against them - whereas the Cruz supporters were instead trying to RIG THE GAME against Trump. Perhaps in Cruz’s strange mind he was some kind of Republican superhero, thinking that he’s saving (or tried to save) the country from the ravages of Trump, but to 95% of Republicans now - he just looks like a nutcase. We pity him, especially considering the incredible potential he squandered away.
It will be interesting to hear what he has to say tonight. Is he really fighting for the people? Or has Hillary already made him a deal that’s too good to pass up?
No; let's suppose that Sanders will drop his drawers and SHOW that his 'nads haven't shriveled away!
Do NOT nominate Clinton to lead US!!!
