As to the debate, but for Hillary's agreement to a May California debate when it benefited her, I would not care. She reneged and, as usual, is transparent in her singular focus of personal benefit.

He can NOT bargain now. It's done. Endorcements won't help this year. Hillary has to do this with the help of others and Obama.

He has the bargaining power here.

Hillary wants him to end his run. Hillary and the DNC want him to not contest the convention. They want access to his fundraising prowess.

I am willing to bet she wants NOTHING from him. PHILLY here we come. What can happen in Philly? NOTHING.

So does everyone else. He actually said he wants to have a say in her cabinet picks!?? Ah.. yea. NO. It's Philly.

If he stays in the race he can stake out more bargaining chips, so I think his position will improve. And the growing blowback against DWS is putting some real fear into the democrats that would otherwise sabotage everything.

He has influence in writing the party platform.

Those are not even remotely the same thing.

That would seem pretty obvious, but I guess not.

going to have a say in anything other than the platform committee?

letting them keep a 2/3 majority. Bernie is being given a face saving gesture.

He's a politician who gets things done.

running against others for being in the establishment. That is his accomplishment.

LOL

It's been brewing for decades and it's advancing.
