2. From beginning to end, Bernie has kept is word.

Both to a double-dealing deceptive DNC and to his supporters.

No one now knows how this Primary would have played out, had the DNC acted
with integrity with its own charter. but it's safe to say Bernie would have likely
won. But still, Bernie held true to his pledge to support the eventual nominee,
whoever that was.

Bernie Sanders -- a man of his word -- still kept his promise to not bolt and run as
a 3rd party candidate, and is supporting the winner of the primary, even though we
all know know he was defrauded by the DNC at every turn.

Also, I believe Bernie knows the big picture better than I do, or most any other
human being, when it comes to what his supporters wisest choice is in the GE,
i.e. NOT Donald Trump, not Jill Stein, and not writing in Bernie, and not staying
home on election day.

This ^ is what my head is telling me, and although my heart has not caught up
yet with my head, I'm working on that.
