I just hope Michelle Obama references her plagiarized speech.

As others have noted, a lot of Sanders voters are not attracted to him so much as being anti-Hillary. His endorsement does little to change that.

Still, he is responsible for talking hem down. If anyone can, it'd be him.

Yikes, Sanders delegates boo when Sanders himself says "We have got to defeat Donald Trump and we have got to elect Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine."

He needs to get real with them. Take off the kiddie gloves and tell them not to be children. He needs to get personal and emotional and explain why it is so important to him why Donald Trump can't be elected.

This is a clusterf-ck. I totally overestimated the sanity of his supporters, which I didn't think was possible. If Hillary loses the general, it's at least partly on Bernie. He helped create this mess.

I wonder how often Bernie and Kaine have voted the same way in the Senate. 95%? More?

Bernie needs to repeat that over and over again tonight.

If Hillary Clinton loses it will be Hillary Clinton's fault. She could have offered an olive branch long ago.

She's offered so many. The Bernie Bros simply will never accept them.

You're kidding. Their positions are like, 95% similar. These people are fools.

And the sad thing is, the ones who became delegates were obviously the most passionate among them. Not good.

And of course CNN has Reince Priebus on to comment. Where were the major Democratic surrogates when sh-t hit the fan at the RNC?

MSNBC just said negotiations are underway to not have DWS appear on the stage.

Debbie, please take a siesta.  Go sip a margarita on the beach.  Do us all a favor.

"Feel the Bern" was actually a foreshadowing of Bernie's ultimate plot to burn down the DNC with wildfire.
I admit, I chuckled Tongue

They aren't hiding the fact that they want to stir up trouble, but Bernie supporters don't seem to care.

For Sanders' supporters, Clinton's positions on issues do not really matter as they appear to shift with the wind. That seems to come down to the trust issue more than anything, and that ship has sailed. Not sure how possible unity is at this point with the die-hards who are unwilling to compromise. And, of course, the media will eat that up.

Sanders gets booed for telling his supporters to support Clinton/Kaine. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/bernie-sanders-booed-supporters-ahead-democratic-national-convention/story?id=40857311

Not sure if it was posted in this thread. I know it has its own thread though.

She has offered not an olive brunch, but a whole olive grove. These people cannot be reconciled, because in reality they are Trump Republicans.
