Union laborers... Lacking.

Once he hears about Bernie Sanders, he'll change his mind...

Let me dispel your misperception about Franken's familiarity with Sanders. They've worked together many times on things like this-

This is the typical knee jerk response you would see from a Sanders supporter

As you say, it's typical enough that I expected it.

He's known Hillary for a long time and respects her a lot. I used to listen to his radio show all the time. I'm a Bernie supporter. But, I think many politicians who endorse Hillary or Bernie are more laid back about rallying around the winner in the general election than people are here at DU.

That's what Democrats do.
For now, he's endorsing Clinton over Sanders.
Meaning he'd rather see her as president.

Or these leaders, natural fits for Sanders, just don't like the man.

next week too.

camp. Our precinct caucuses are on March 1, 2016, and basically determine the make-up of the delegation to the national convention. We do have a primary, later, but delegates are elected based on the precinct caucuses. These endorsements are very important.

And we still kicked her ass in the Minnesota caucuses. Obama won by a massive margin. Hillary is a really bad fit for Minnesota. She isn't liberal enough. She's a war hawk and has issues with trust. We don't like any of those things in our politicians. If Biden, O'Malley or Sanders are competitive when Iowa rolls around, expect one of them to beat Hillary in Minnesota.

I thought were progressives off of my donation list and there will be no more ground support for them either.

Corporatists all. Screw you.
