Among other endorsements, Clinton has the support of 10 governors, 32 U.S. Senators, 124 U.S. Representatives, over 200 state legislators, and unions representing more than 7.5 million workers.

For my friends here, we have watched as more and more endorse Hillary, some will probably wait unit after the elections in their states before endorsing, I respect this.

Maybe a little less now.

There must be something in politics that turns
people you think are on your side away from you.

And, I agree, this is a pro-democrat forum ... not anti-democrat.

I just got barred from thread here (on DU) where I said
Hillary was not my first choice, I like Bernie.

I'm not anti-democrat and I will vote for her if
she is on the ballot.

THIS Democratic Party, the one that exists now IS NOT going to DO ONE DAMN THING to help Bernie Sanders. I saw this MONTHS AGO! And because of what I've seen even with those I felt an affinity with speaks volumes.

They don't care what millions of their very own Democrats want. THE MEMO WAS SENT! No surprise, almost ALL of them WILL fall on THE SWORD!

This is THE DLC/Third Way Party now. I FULLY expect to keep hearing more and more of them to do THE VERY SAME THING!

But I'm going to support BERNIE SANDERS no matter what. After I vote in the primaries I'll have to do what I've NEVER done before. Switch to NPA. Not just saying it like a kid taking my marbles and going home, just see what I see.

So another one bites the dust and there goes Sherrod! Started with Howard Dean and Barney Frank! Stay tuned... more ON THE WAY!

Only a few DINOs still talk about Grand Bargains, austerity policies, etc. There's majority support for expanding Social Security, we've pushed back hard on the TPP and the Keystone XL. So your hysteria about the "DLC/Third Way Party" seems a tad overwrought.

How on earth do you expect progressive Democratic senators to support a candidate who has said, numerous times, that there is NO difference between Democrats or Republicans? A man who refused to run in his state on the Democratic ticket because it would be "hypocritical" of him after all the things he'd said about them?

I agree. And it would be hypocritical of a Democratic senator to endorse him.

As to your remark about a kid taking his marbles and going home... well, you're the one who said it.

Someone standing up for HRC. I'm just so tired of the constant bashing from the Bernie camp (whose dogma has really turned me off of Bernie since I started posting on DU).

Plainly, you aren't up to speed on the election cycle and you didn't even bother to CHECK before you posted that bit of snide nastiness!

Why in hell would he need "some campaign money" when he was re-elected in 2012 and won't be running again until 2018?

He doesn't have his hand out, here.


That's some serious sour grapes you're sporting, though.

Speaking of campaign money, Bernie Sanders was grateful for the campaign money he got from HILLPAC in 2006....but, whatever.

Either that or he just didn't want to be the only one not fawning at the feet of Hillary.
