42 Out of 46 Senate Democrats Have Endorsed Hillary Clinton Compared to 1 for Sanders


http://hinterlandgazette.com/2016/05/42-senate-democrats-endorsed-hillary-clinton-compared-1-bernie-sanders.html

Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) became the latest Senate Democrats to endorse Hillary Clinton for president, compared to one for Bernie Sanders. That speaks


Sanders has been in the Senate for decades but yet only one endorsed him. Remaining on the fence are Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Jon Tester, and Independent Sen. Angus King.

Menendez’s endorsement brings the total number of delegates Clinton needs to clinch the nomination to about 76.

Sen. Robert Menendez endorsement: “Donald Trump would be an unmitigated disaster. His foreign policy views – to the extent he has them – are often invented on the spot. He has a penchant for dismissing close allies like the United Kingdom when they criticize him, and praising leaders like Putin when they flatter him. Quite simply, he has shown no regard for the norms and necessities that so much of our modern diplomatic and security efforts depend upon.

“Only one person running to lead our nation has the experience, the interest, and the demeanor to lead and protect our nation: Hillary Clinton.”

“Hillary understands the importance of stability and consistency – particularly as they impact our most important allies.”

While Bernie Sanders continues to rail that the system is rigged, three more superdelegates have pledged their support for Hillary Clinton: John Daniello, Lisa Goodman, and Karen Valentine

His last stunt with West and Zogby was beyond the pale. I've made up my mind and my decision is final.

Our corrupt political system based on bribery makes it almost impossible for other "sElected officials" to back a candidate that speaks truth to power. The greed rots the entire system.
How clueless not to acknowledge the obvious.

was like to work with after all those years.. but, they didn't.. Very Telling.

BS is his own worst enemy.. no one put him in the unenviable situation he's in but himself and those managers he hired and those surrogates who had nothing but insults. They're so arrogant & smug.. they chased away Voters.
