In his response to supporters' feeling being betrayed by his endorsement of Clinton, Bernie says to look at it issue by issue, e.g. minimum wage, "Hillary Clinton wants to expand healthcare, Hillary Clinton wants to make public colleges and universities tuition free, ...." Why doesn't he acknowledge that Hillary Clinton's promise is worthless of trust based on her historical flips on "issue by issue"? And he no longer mentions her support for the Iraq War, NAFTA, TPP, etc.

We know, and Bernie must also know, that Clinton is a person who would make any promise just to get elected. Once being elected, she can do whatever she wants not to fulfill her promise.

He knows, but like most pols, after a candidate has been nominated, the rest of them unite with him or her for a common cause.

In this case, their common cause is keeping Trump out of office.

I can't blame Bernie for this. If he continued his criticism of her, people would have accused him of sour grapes.

I'm going to make a guess. It's a total guess not based on any knowledge whatsoever. Clinton promised him that if he would endorse her and not criticize her, she would help him pay off his campaign debt.

Because he's a crooked politician just like the rest. Anyone who thought otherwise is an idiot.

Bernie scooped up millions in donations to fight the establishment, only to turn around and support the establishment. He is a low down dirty lying thief.

Because it's pretty common much common practice for a candidate who lost to someone in their party to endorse the winner. Generally speaking, this means not criticizing them.

Why did Bernie do it? Who knows. Maybe she offered him something. Maybe he really believes that she's at least better than Trump. Maybe his wife gets to live. I don't know. The only thing that I do know is that this is politics. He's not the first to do this. He won't be the last.

But he is not your average candidate. His supporters are very very passionate about the message and the belief that Bernie is (was) anti-establishment. They put all their faith in him.


Now with this email leak showing the election was rigged against him, if he changed his mind and stood up to the corruption he would prove he is the man.

Is Bernie still running? I understood his followers will never stop, even if the elections are over. He has momentum!
I asked these young people why bother and the answer was "just cause we can".... Then there is the secret plan that will change history: farting at the convention. Now these corrupt democrats will see how stinky we can be! And they will change their ways.

Bernie realizes that it is more important to keep Trump out of the White House than to appear to be like Cruz.
