Regarding Bernie: I felt he was waiting until after the FBI ruling on Clinton and her emails before he formally bowed out as had she been indicted he -I believe- would have been the nominee.
However, I did note in his endorsement delivery he spent a good deal of time saying how well his campaign did, with Hillary standing there trying to look OK with it.
Still a disappointment to me, however not a surprise. Was also disappointed with Elizabeth Warren's endorsement. Is it Trump fear, or just the usual game of politics, or maybe both.
In the end I think we all know that going into a both one day and voting for someone is not going to make much of a, if any, difference. It will have to come from us and I'm hoping that Bernie inspired enough of the young people in this country to keep pressing forward.
Well if he joined the Green party lady and get above 5% ( I think ) then the three parties would get debate tv time, would be interesting indeed, then again Hillary is so yukky to the general public at present, she may still go down.
