But Trump has integrity when he tells a group of Hispanics that he will totally flip flop on his immigration stance? All of a sudden--pathway for illegals emerges.

How is that different?

If Hillary is beating Trump so bad, why do they need to drag out Bernie?

His wife sold her home in order to buy this one. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...ies-hypocrisy/

You'll have to decide for yourself whether this is outrageous or not.

Why not? He said from the beginning that he likes and respects her. He also said that defeating the Republican candidate was his highest priority, and he thought he could do it better than Clinton could, and I think he was right about that.

???? Where do you get this idea? He lost, he can do anything he durn well pleases. One of the things he pleases is to help defeat Trump.

Dunno about other areas in the country, but I promise you that here in western washington, most Sanders supporters will indeed vote for Clinton. I know, because I was a Sanders delegate to the district convention, and I spent a fair amount of time talking to other Sanders delegates.

He didn't abandon them.

He's as anti-Republican as he's ever been.

Nope. His wife sold a house she owned in order to buy the new one.

Why do you assume he's not volunteering?

Because Bernie already walked away, and he would never support a candidate like Hillary that is the type of politician he claims he is fighting against.

So why is Bernie doing this?

He's a sell out just like the career politician that he is. Simply put, the Clintons either bought him, or coerced him.

Either way Bernie no longer has any credibility. Just remember how his supporters booed him so loudly at the DNC every time he mentioned Hillary's name.

Ok, you made a statement, now how about PROOF ? Give us one shred of evidence or a link to some reputable source.

As for Bernie, it had to be very hard for him to lose such a hard fought campaign, but he handled himself like a man. He knew any efforts on his part to continue would be as damaging to his party as Trump has been to the GOP. He did it with style and class.

I wish I had followed him more when he was campaigning. Now, I have much respect for him and think he really does have America's best interests at heart.

Some will call him a quitter, I say he is anything but.
