Good if true. I think most of Sanders supporters have already switched to Clinton but maybe this move will help with the hold outs.
This election in 2016 could be so lopsided that South Carolina and Georgia could become swing states.

Of what year?
It seems this fix is in, too. 
Who is “Sanders”? The KFC colonel, perhaps?
I think it’s a carpenters union or something like that.
How is this any better than Paul Ryan and the various losers of the Republican nomination endorsing Trump?
OK, sure, Hillary is a better candidate than Donald Trump. But that’s not what I mean. If party loyalty is important enough that anti-corruption Democrats should line up behind Ms. Corruption, why does anyone bother to denounce Republicans who line up behind Trump?
Is this an independent deciding to support her based on an examination of the individuals? Or just a Democratic partisan sticking with the party?
No, this does not change my mind about Hillary. Why would it? I supported Bernie partly because he wasn’t her.
I get why he’s doing it, but he’s not really going to bring over the anti-Clinton vote, or the “Bernie or Bust” crowd.
Bernie Sanders, a Democratic partisan?? Since when???
I think it is him acknowledging that although Clinton agenda isn’t an exact carbon copy of his agenda, it is not all that different and certainly several light years closer than Donald Trumps.
I agree that the “I hate Hillary with the passion of a thousand dying suns, from Hell’s heart, I stab at her, for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at her” voters like you won’t be convinced, but I think that most rank and file Bernie supporters will make the same principled decision that he did.
He appears to have posted it as a note on Facebook (likely among other places):
The comments section is, predictably, pretty much just his former supporters cannibalizing him and declaring he’s basically dead to them for being “spineless” and they’re off to support Stein or Trump because #NeverHillary or whatever.
I supported Bernie, but unlike many of his fans, I’m glad he did this. He would split the left wing vote if he ran independent, giving us President Trump.:eek:
Nor can anyone or anything bring over the viscerally anti-Clinton vote to Clinton. You can’t reason people out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into. There is no reason to waste time trying. Just let Trump give you his thanks for your support, while you find some old Naderite excuses you can borrow for the consequences.
Did Bernie mention anything about Clinton’s son-in-law Marc Marc Mezvinsky who owns a hedge fund that is financed by Lloyd Blankfein the CEO of Gold Man Sacks? I know Sanders has strong feelings about Wall Street.
“Boy, that Sanders has great ideas! I want to see his ideas put into action! Wait, I’d have to vote for Clinton to see any of those ideas put into action? Well… I’ll just vote for Stein instead and… get no closer to seeing any of those ideas in action than I was before. It’s all Sanders’ fault!!”
Don’t you have any other notes?
foolsguinea mentioned that he was raised Republican. There were *positive *reasons to support Bernie, but he’s claiming he did it only because Bernie was not Hillary.
Now he can stop pretending & return to his GOP roots…
Yep. And he has the gall to claim some kind of moral superiority over the whole thing, as if supporting the Democrat who has more reasonable policies and is more electable is somehow a sign of weakness.
Which, come to think of it, is also pretty diagnostic of being a Ranting Republican…
The needle’s stuck. Someone nudge the broken record.
Jragon, you haven’t learned yet to ignore online comments sections?
