MUCH RESPECT to Bernie Sanders

I know it was difficult for him but he has done what he needed to do in his attempt to unify the party. I also have NO problem with his delegates being allowed to vote for him tomorrow. This was a very passionate election. So what if Clinton/Obama was closer and there was no putting Hillary's name in nomination. This isn't Obama/Clinton and Hillary would have deserved it in 08 and Sanders and his delegates deserve it now!!!! THANK YOU BERNIE!!!!

Bringing his support of HRC and his ideals together to let his supporters know that he unequivocally supports her.

but he pushed the party much farther left than it has been in decades. In that sense he is a huge winner.

Everybody has the right to their own opinions, but I love what Bernie's saying and said.

I've no problem with him at all or with anything he said tonight. NOT ONE THING.

AND he's throwing zingers in there against the GOP and against that orange orangutan tRump. For those who still have a problem with Senator Sanders, well I guess that's your perception.

I am a Hillary Supporter of many decades, and this Hillary supporter says:

Bernie, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I knew you weren't the small man the media and others tried to say you'd be tonight.

Down!

I've been following him for a long time (T. Hartmann) and while I voted for Hillary in the primary, he still gives me goose bumps when he speaks.

He killed it. He double killed it. He made every speak of the RNC look like a petulant child.

helped the bernie supporters through this emotional time for them. It was good to see the LOVE in action and not just on placards.

She released her delegates but many still voted for her. And many in the later states that came after New York were disappointed that they did not have the chance to do so. Even as an Obama supporter I was disappointed to not have the full roll call.
