For that pivot, he will get a good slot at the convention to speak.

If he actually campaigns/raises money, he will get a great slot.

Maybe he will get a cabinet post (Labor, perhaps) if he wants one.

He would likely do more harm than good in that position. There is a time to be confrontational and a time to work with others.

have his last minute in the sun. She has big enough shoulders. Go Hillary!

I honestly thought his ego would never allow him to walk away.

This clears the field for an all-out campaign against Trump now. I'll take it.

Just stop Bernie!!!!!

IMO he needed to articulate the details for his supporters. This was a very full-throated endorsement, IMO. It's a good day to be a Democrat.

endorsing her and suspending his campaign. This is about unity in the end and not letting our personal grudges get in the way.

He did do his stump speech for a while but was a way to include his base and show that HRC is with them.

I heard Charlie Pierce at the venue BEFORE Hillary and Bernie appeared, and Charlie said that he was hearing from lots of unhappy Bernie supporters who were grumbling about Bernie selling out. I suspect he said what he said to remind those folks that he was still on board with his ideas and get them psyched to unify going forward.

I was out running errands so haven't yet heard specifically what Bernie said, but I did get back in time to hear Hillary's classy statements about Jane Sanders. I liked that--a true reaching across and rising above.

Most of his supporters have long since switched to Hillary, the remaining are not ever going to vote for anyone but a fringe candidate. It's a waste of time courting them.

Think it'll be All RIGHT!!!



UNITY!

We need to stop fighting.

or that any legitimate critique of Bernie Sanders would forever more be considered "fighting the primary".
Of course, it's actually The Latest Breaking News according to the NYT http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/13/opinion/campaign-stops/bernies-uninspiring-endorsement.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=opinion-c-col-left-region®ion=opinion-c-col-left-region&WT.nav=opinion-c-col-left-region

You can count on me to adhere to the policy of unicorns and rainbows from this day forward.

Good luck with your adhesion.

I mean ... for Space Mountain, you expect a long wait. But if you're talking about the Teacups or Small World, it's not worth the wait. All in all, I think it's about as good as we could expect, and it included the standard fare and optimism.

He's still shifting gears, so maybe he'll get better at it as the weeks go on and we get closer to the election.
