When Obama and Sanders are campaigning for Hillary in the General

Obama's approval ratings are the highest they've been in his entire second term. Think about when he and Sanders are both out there rallying for the Democrats.

Trump toast anyone?

On a more serious note---Do you think that after Hillary wins the California primary on June 7th, President Obama will officially endorse her as the nominee and go on the campaign trail for her, or do you think the President will have to wait until after the convention?

There's no rush, there will be plenty of time for the general after the convention.

Behind the scenes Bernie is indicating he will support the democratic party and stump for hillary. This current strategy of his is just to gain leverage in the negotiations over the DNC platform. After the convention he will start telling his supporters they must vote for Hillary, and remind them that the DNC is the only thing standing between the people and destruction.

That. and Obama firing on all cylinders for the DNC, is going to be quite a thing to see.

Put an end to conservative obstruction once and for all.....and naming 3 Supreme Court justices too...The stakes are huge and discontented sanders supporters can be part of a solution or be the problem

Also, for every Bernie or Bust non-voter, there will be 2 "Never Trump" voters who support Hillary. I've been saying that what is happening now has no meaning. The general election will wipe all this out and be the only focus

He will go back to Vermont to savor his sour grapes after giving a grudging endorsement.
