Has Sanders joined the ‘Bernie or Bust’ movement? Nah.

Washington Post:

Has Sanders tacitly joined the “Bernie or Bust” movement? Could he somehow try to imperil Hillary Clinton’s chances in a general election by doing less than what is necessary to try to swing his national following — particularly young voters — behind Clinton, if she wins the nomination?

Nah. I just can’t see it.

In an interview with me today, senior Sanders adviser Tad Devine left no doubt: Not only will Bernie Sanders support Clinton if she is the nominee; he will also do everything possible to make sure the next president is a Democrat, even if it isn’t Bernie Sanders.

“Bernie has said he’s going to support the nominee, and I’m sure he’ll do everything to make sure that the next president is a Democrat,” Devine told me. “We believe Bernie will be the nominee, and we hope Clinton will give us the same kind of vigorous endorsement.”


Will there be a bus to throw him under?
