Bernie Sanders: I'll probably vote for Clinton

Bernie Sanders said Friday he will likely vote for Hillary Clinton for president in November, the strongest expression of support yet from the Vermont senator, but he left the door open that he could change his mind.

"In all likelihood, it will be Hillary Clinton," Sanders told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day."

Sanders said he was focused on his leverage over the Democratic party platform.

and going from having a real, respectable movement to ridicule on national TV. Many pundits are already shaking their heads saying, "what the hell is he thinking?" with thoughts of ego and inability to let go.

In a couple of weeks, it wouldn't matter what he does or doesn't do. I wish that for the sake of his movement, he endorses Hillary Clinton and campaigns for her saying that he will have more chance of persuading Clinton to get his policies passed than Donald Trump.

Supporting Clinton doesn't mean he has to give up the issues he is fighting for.

The rest of us are just watching with sadness, as he squanders everything for which his supporters worked so hard.
