That's strange on its own. Kind of the way it is when every single Democrat with influence has already endorsed her. It's less of an endorsement and more of a welcome to the party at this point.

Yep, that's a good way to describe it.

Maybe he'll stay, maybe he won't. Who knows? (Personally, I believe that if he decides to run for office again, he'll do so as an Independent rather than a Democrat.)

And in so-doing (if he so-does) he'll have answered the question often heard from his most ardent supporters with regard to why so few "establishment" Dems actually bother to take him very seriously.

If he doesn't care enough to show up on time and support our party's nominee, then why should I care that he eventually decided to grudgingly come-around and give a little insincere lip-service.

They will examine his endorsement speech, line by line. As will Democratic Party leaders and delegates.

If it's a half-backed endorsement, he should lose his speaker slot at the convention.

I don't think the narrative could be more unenthusiastic. People have grown very weary of it.

So true.

Because he has to end his campaign, and endorsing Hillary will end his campaign.

Active candidates are not given speaking spots at the convention.

... for his OWN benefit? (It figures.)

Oh well.

I do think the Democratic party learned a really important lesson this season about allowing ourselves to be used by people who have spent decades saying nasty things about us.

We will all be in for another round of the stump speech after one or two lines regarding his endorsement of Hillary Clinton.
Will the SS detail go away finally?

Finally we can move forward without the primary drag. I am very happy with Bernie's projected attitude while he endorsed--a happy surprise.
Do you know if the SS detail is gone?

I know nothing about that.

After he endorsed--SS gone. He is no longer a candidate.
Have a wonderful day

It's pretty much a joke at this point.

the primaries, I'll believe it when I see it.
