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.

Hillary is always classy. I don't believe Bernie changed one mind today. Walk away Jul 2016 #11

WalkAway, It felt powerful to me, so think it probably was powerful to some of his supporters too! Her Sister Jul 2016 #13
