Never paid that much attention to Sanders. I had a few friends that were going to vote for him. And with his endorsement of Hillary today, sent them over the edge.
They are pissed off, and feel that he is a sell out to all his supporters and the effort they put into supporting him. Went down the drain. I don't know, hardly paid attention to him, I can only go by what they tell me and they are not supporting Clinton.


They were passionate about him, and feel betrayed. One guy now thinks this was part of the bigger plan what ever that means.

He sold his people out, typical politician. But they still have a viable dream and the gumption to fight for it, they just need to go outside the political system to find someone to represent it.

I think out of all the candidates, he probably has the most integrity - just in who he is and how he lives, and the whole presentation.

His solutions simply will not work.

Yep, he caved in to Old Pantsuit and folded like a house of cards, didn't he?

I am no fan of either of them, although I think Bernie is a likeable but still nutty little guy whose answers would have never worked, but I am still very disappointed at the way that he just rolled over and kissed Hillary's rump like he did, especially after the leaked emails revealed that she and her DNC cronies just considered him a harmless, laughable old fart. Shows he has absolutely no backbone.

People ridiculed and chastised Ted Cruz for not coming out and endorsing Trump, but at least he stood on his principles and refused to buckle under to the party brass. It takes guts to do that. What Bernie did took nothing. He is a wimp.

Bernie also sounds like the angry, talking tree in "The Wizard of Oz"...(grating voice yeling, "Ah you saying dat my apples ahn't what dey oughtta be?"...you know what I'm talking about, lol), so as a PP pointed out, that is perhaps the only reason why we should be glad that Pantsuit steamrolled him. At least now we don't have to listen to that voice for the next four years.

Most of Bernie's intentions, like all candidates', require Congress to act and fund.

Even when POTUS and majority of Congress are aligned by party, there is no certainty they will play ball.

Would he have gained anything if he withheld his endorsement? I don't see how that would've done him any good.

Bernie was just a token Candidate. His contributors should demand a refund.

The Boos will be tremendous when Hillary finally takes the stage.

If you lefties simply examined the beliefs of these anti-American, anti-Constitution leftists on the Supreme Court, like Sotomeyer, Kagen and Ginsburg, you'd understand why we CANNOT ALLOW any further additions of these domestic enemies.
