So much for those hoping Bernie would run third party to give Donnie a chance at winning in November. As Bernie has said many times all throughout this campaign, the Democratic party will come together.
Quote:
Bernie Sanders on Thursday emerged from a White House meeting with President Barack Obama and vowed to work together with Hillary Clinton to defeat Donald Trump in November.
Warning that a Trump presidency would be a "disaster," the Vermont senator -- who pledged to continue his White House bid even after Clinton became the Democratic Party's presumptive presidential nominee -- said he would "work as hard as I can to make sure that Donald Trump does not become president of the Untied States."
I knew Bernie was a man of his word. He's said from the beginning he would not run as a 3rd party candidate. They'll find a place for him in the campaign that will help the majority of his supporters transition just like Hillary's supporters did last time around, ending up supporting Obama. The stakes are too high not to, if for no other reason that the next president will be picking so many Supreme Court justices.

From what I saw in that article, Bernie did not concede the race. That is the #1 thing he can do right now to support Clinton.
The fact that he didn't, speaks for itself. Obama appears to have failed at his mission.
As he promised, Bernie will go through the motion of participating in the DC primary. That way he can fulfill the promise to give everyone a chance to vote for him. Then on Wednesday, there will be an announcement. Obama was fine with that.
But either way, the key message here is "F you Trump, keep your dirty orange stubby paws off my supporters."
Clinton has to admit she is a liar and promise not to lie again before asking any Bernie supporters to switch.
a lying politician is a given. they just have to decide f they want democratic or republican ideals running the country. most of them will vote blue, no doubt.
"I look forward to meeting with (Clinton) in the near future to see how we can work together to defeat Donald Trump and to create a government which represents all of us and not just the 1 percent," Sanders told reporters after an Oval Office meeting that lasted more than one hour.
That doesn't sound very encouraging. Sounds like he's saying, "I did not become the nominee but I'm gonna find a way to impose my agenda regardless."

Announcement? Sounds as if Bernie will be staying in it until the convention.
