It was a tough time...and Bernie and others in the progressive wing piled on... The Clintons went to bat for Obama...Bill was the explainer in chief...I saw it first hand as I volunteered in the campaign...Bill was very effective.

The president of United States, especially this one, calls you and says 'good job, but it is time.' Defy that?

No threats needed. I think after Clinton passes the line tomorrow Bernie will strike the tent and work to beat trump.

And then the driver of the bus will get thrown under it. Remember, Robespierre had his head lopped off as well. It the Revolution man!

10. He said he will 'assess' the campaign after tomorrow. Yes, he will concede.

And then he will be thrown under the bus like all the other imperfect politicians.
