Bernie Sanders on TODAY: 'Glad' Hillary Clinton is moving my way on issues (video at link)

Democratic presidential contender Bernie Sanders says Hillary Clinton is now supporting issues he's backed for decades — and he's pleased to see it.

"In the last couple months, Hillary has come on board with positions I've held for many years," the Vermont senator told TODAY's Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie. "I'm glad that Hillary Clinton is moving in my direction."

Asked whether Clinton has a better chance to succeed in a general election, Sanders said "absolutely not."

"The enthusiasm that we are generating means that a lot of working class people and young people who have given up on the political process are now coming out," the lawmaker explained.

When will Hill and Bill start whipping up Congressional votes against the TPP?

Maybe Bernie should offer that the 3 of them knock on Senate and House members doors together to get TPP stopped.

But when she "moves" it's all for show. She doesn't change her views. If she wins the primary, it will interesting to see what her supporters do when she snaps back to her normal center-right stance. They'll probably say something like, "Well at least she has a D after her name and XX chromosomes."
