Bernie always said he would do nothing to hurt Democratic chances in November

[book_worm]

I always knew he was a man of his word and he has proved that once again. I think he will be an important surrogate on the campaign trail and more importantly a strong ally of President Clinton in passing the most progressive Democratic platform through the Senate next year.

2. From beginning to end, Bernie has kept is word.

Both to a double-dealing deceptive DNC and to his supporters.

No one now knows how this Primary would have played out, had the DNC acted
with integrity with its own charter. but it's safe to say Bernie would have likely
won. But still, Bernie held true to his pledge to support the eventual nominee,
whoever that was.

Bernie Sanders -- a man of his word -- still kept his promise to not bolt and run as
a 3rd party candidate, and is supporting the winner of the primary, even though we
all know know he was defrauded by the DNC at every turn.

Also, I believe Bernie knows the big picture better than I do, or most any other
human being, when it comes to what his supporters wisest choice is in the GE,
i.e. NOT Donald Trump, not Jill Stein, and not writing in Bernie, and not staying
home on election day.

This ^ is what my head is telling me, and although my heart has not caught up
yet with my head, I'm working on that.

6. I completely agree--Sanders is a man of his word.

A man who puts his Country First. A rare thing in our political culture. We do not deserve him, that's for sure. I am furious beyond belief at the DNC and the Clinton campaign who were surely calling the shots. Debbie Wasserman Schultz getting kicked upstairs. She should have been tarred and feathered and ridden out of Philly on a rail. The only thing keeping me from slapping a Jill Stein sticker over my Bernie sticker right now is Bernie Sanders example of grace in defeat.

3. I don't think of him as a "surrogate." But I agree with everything else you've said.

A great man. (nt)
