Just now on broadcast news

He unequivocally said Hillary has won the nomination. I have come here to make it as clear as possible, I am endorsing Hillary Clinton. She must become our next President.

This campaign is about the needs of the American People...some other stuff..Hillary Clinton is the best person to address these needs.

This election is about who nominates supreme court justices to address
Woman's right to choose
Citizens United
How Government can protect the environment

This election is about universal healthcare, public options for insurance. We need major changes in how mental health is delivered, some suggestions & goals. Medicare must negotiate the price of medications & expand generics

Protecting jobs and a minimum wage that's a living wage

Weird watching the two of them standing there, together.
And Hillary shaking her head in agreement with every word Bernie utters.
Looks more like she wrote and handed Bernie this script to follow, and like a school teacher she stands in back of the student and nods approval as the student successfully gets through every line written on the paper.
I don't know if I believe Bernie is in this whole heartily, but I do worry about Hillary getting whiplash by the time he finishes.

Oh thank goodness. I was starting to get worried that without his endorsement that the welfare sucks on both the corporate and individual side wouldn't know who to vote for to keep their gravy train rolling along and the Pentagon on speed dial for another war or three.

Hillary is against TPP, like Bernie. I am mainly just against the arbitration superseding national jurisprudence.

He's making a choice. Hillary may not be his first choice but she's a good enough choice unlike Jeb! who still won't endorse or even suggest who he'll vote for.

Hillary was coyly for TPP until Bernie pressed her. That's ok by me as long as its against now.
TPP will be passed after the elections by a lame duck congress

GOP pipe dreams for electing Trump are evaporating.
No Benghazi nothing.
No Hillary indictment.
No Bernie 3rd party run.

Time to go back to deskewing polls.

She put it in her fucking book.

You couldn't get more full throated effort unless you were talking about Bubba's harem.

Whatever she was 100% on the record for it, now she is not due to election pressure(s). Does that make you feel better? Why bicker over this point we all but agree on.

It never ceases to amaze me how much people seem to care about TPP considering how little effect it will have on our country overall. I doubt any of you would even notice if it passed or not.

It seems to be more of a reflexive anti-trade attitude which is a long term losing proposition that makes everyone poorer.

Watching good manufacturing jobs change to WalMart or Home Depot jobs during my lifetime I don't agree. More cheaply made foreign crap is not the solution. I know you'll have a graph that says otherwise because you usually do. I just know living a lifestyle similar to what neighbors had near me growing up without technical expertise is nearly impossible today.
