That barely scratches the surface of all the whiny sore loser crap they'll spout.

He didn't come right out and endorse her I think the pressure on Bernie will increase from here - not specifically to concede defeat and suspend his campaign, but to focus on his own message and stop going negative.

This will cause a nuclear explosion on reddit. (where bernie supporters hang out) LOL.

So he should stop giving the Republicans any ammunition that would weaken her chances in the general election. He risks marginalizing himself within the Democratic party if he doesn't - and regardless of whether he is a Democrat or an Independent, he is still a part of the Democratic party in terms of his role in the Senate.
He is only speaking the truth. At this point I would just go all out no hold bars.

The Left thought Hillary would have a cake-walk.
Now they know the Bernie-nuts will sit out the election if Hillary is the candidate.
What a mess!

It sure was fun in 2012! I'm pretty sure I was typing on this keyboard AND watching fox when Megyn gave her famous 'republican math' question to Karl Rove.

We've had 8 years of it with Obama. I'm immune to Republican tears.

I would rather do that than have the orange twit as the head of my party. Count me in on the 'anyone but Trump' bandwagon.





Bernie is not pure and Hillary is not pure but at least they have maintained the façade of professionalism. I don't know how they really feel about each other but I imagine it's not stark hatred.



I never realized how stupid a lot of people were until a black man was elected to office and then the stupid people began to show their true colors so to speak.
It's not that he's black, and you know it. It's because he's a troublemaker, a punk.
Being black doesn't excuse his lack ability to lead America.

I don't think they are sweating the caucuses too much. There is a limited amount they can do anyway, because the nature of a caucus is so limited on who can attend. I live in a neighborhood with many, many families with young kids and only 2 of my neighbors were able to make it to our caucus. Doesn't mean people don't have an opinion but they just don't have the ability to devote 3 hours of time to caucusing, which is just about what it took once you factor in having to get there early and find parking, since attendance was high. The people who can attend a caucus tend to be a closer fit to Bernie's demographics. But there are no caucuses in November, so it's not a longer term concern.
Haha, give it a rest and stop whining. We all know the 65+ crowd overwhelmingly support Clinton. There were hundreds of articles before the Iowa caucuses on how important that was for Hillary as they are eager caucus goers.

Obama and Hillary have had 3 secret meetings so far in the past 6 months.
Secret in that it was not on Obama's schedule and told to the press after they occurred.

IMHO I think Obama was told to publicly support Hillary.
