Super Delegate Flips to Hillary~

Marshall Cohen ‎@Marshall_Cohen
NYT: Sen. Jeff Merkley, only senator to endorse @BernieSanders, is now backing @HillaryClinton. He's also a superdelegate so that's a flip. https://twitter.com/Marshall_Cohen?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Jeff Merkley said he supports Clinton

This is the first time I think that we've heard you say that you're going to support the nominee and acknowledge that the nominee is Hillary Clinton. Is this an endorsement of some sort," Bolduan asked.

"Well, I absolutely support Hillary Clinton. What I've said all along is once a candidate has the majority of the pledged delegates and the majority of the voters and that happened on last Tuesday night, that we have our nominee," he said. "We have our nominee. I want to help her be successful."

all of us under that cozy bus.

Nina Turner lashed out @ Senator Warren today

Sanders surrogate blasts Warren: 'You don't get brownie points from me'

During a radio interview on SiriusXM’s “Steele and Unger,” former Ohio state Sen. Nina Turner said she was not impressed with Warren’s social media attacks against Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump

“It’s easy for Democrats to attack Mr. Trump,” Turner said. “You don’t get any brownie points from me and other progressives for getting into a Twitter war with Mr. Donald Trump. That’s easy.

“But when the fight was hard for Sen. Bernie Sanders, where was Sen. Warren?”

“They’re gonna attack me for saying this, but I’m a truth-teller at this point,” Turner added

Not even close, Nina.. oh and btw.. @ which point do you consider yourself Not "a truth teller"? Just sayin'

MOre..

I'm wondering actually if Sanders released him? Possible.

I can see releasing delegates as a pride-saving measure. Give him permission so it hurts less when he inevitably leaves and votes for the nominee. Permission or not, this will be a trend.
