I'd swear I read somewhere he's a long time friend of the Clintons and already had endorsed her, so I assumed this OP was asking what if he changed his mind and his endorsement.

I'm sure if he endorses Sanders, we'll see all kinds of reasons that Rev Jackson is bad. But I am just as sure, that outside of here, he has much staying power and influence

He was lukewarm (to put it nicely) on Obama at first. Once black people got behind on Obama, Jesse reluctantly came along.

Nobody who wants to maintain some influence will go up against the Clinton Machine, now that there's is a good chance we'll have the Restoration of the Monarchy in 2016.

Where in I ask the opinions of DUers regarding the potential impact of a theoretical Sanders endorsement by Jesse Jackson. I ask because Bernie stepped up to endorse Jackson in his presidential run many years ago. I specify SC because it is Jackson's birthplace.

ONLY Hillary people care and know what they think.
