At this point, I'd assign a 40% chance to him eventually issuing a reluctant endorsement of Clinton, a 30% chance to him eventually issuing an enthusiastic endorsement of Clinton, 25% chance he endorses nobody, and 5% chance for all other scenarios. (endorsing Stein, trying to get selected as Stein's VP, endorsing his supporters writing him in, an outright independent run, endorsing Johnson, whatever other freak worlds Jfern imagines)

He was. The Sanders supporters? Probably not.

We're living in the 30%. He gave an enthusiastic endorsement.

I thought Bernie was more than generous with his praise of Hillary tonight. He really came through.

He did. No question of that.

But I thought Bernie was a narcissistic selfish madman bent on destroying the Democratic Party and delivering the election to Trump?  What happened, guys?!?

It took a bit longer than I thought, but he did graciously concede to Hillary.

Wonder if the Hillary hacks in this thread will ever eat crow? Who am I kidding, of course they won't.

I called it as I saw it last night. Bernie was gracious about Hillary in his speech. And I thought he did a good job.

However, I will add that it's too bad it took him so long to get on board, and it's also too bad about the damage he already did to her with the things he said during the campaign. It's too bad about him stringing along his followers like he did and being unrealistic and not living in reality. I could go on, but last night he came through. Better late than never.

If "gracious in defeat" means putting his support behind Hillary Clinton, he would never do that.  At no point will he endorse her or call for party unity.  He has no interest in the Democratic Party at all, except as a vehicle for his own message.

Puh. Lease. He's probably still torturing squirrels in his 94% white dream world right now.

In the end (at the DNC) .... Bernie was gracious.
And I truly believe he will help to defeat trump.
Be prepared to see Sanders on the campaign trail, with Hillary, and also solo.
He can help especially and tremendously, in New Hampshire (if the campaign fears this state is close).

Pretty much a sellout at this point. Lost a lot of respect for a "revolution" that gives up so easily.  Ron Paul didn't.

Ron Paul really capitalized on the momentum that "liberty" had in 2012, didn't he?

Bernie surprised me by nominating Hillary at the convention. He came through with flying colors for sure.
