Bernie, I hated you. HATED!

[fun n serious]

Now I love you! Thank you! We need you! I hope you will be given an important part in a Clinton admin to make sure things that are important to you get done.

[seabeyond]

1. I do not hate, but if listening to his speech will allow me to respect the man,

I will just have to watch tonight and get on board.

[fun n serious]

2. It was wonderful and sincere.

I have changed my mind on who I thought Bernie was.

[SalviaBlue]

8. He has never varied from this demeanor.

Glad you see him now... sorry you had hate for him before. It was obviously based on misguided ideas of who he is.

[Andy823]

18. I think a lot of

People had a hard time with Bernie, not because of his ideas, but because of all the trolls that hit DU and started in trashing the other candidates. When it got down to just Bernie and Hillary, it got even worse. I know Bernie shouldn't have gotten the blame for those rude trolls, but between their rants, and their gaming the jury system to take out those who weren't with them, it was hard to not link Bernie with them.

I am glad Bernie has come on board to unite the party, and look forward to him on the trail with the others.

17. I've always loved Bernie

though I was inclined to think Hillary would be a better candidate in a general and a more effective president. I really never had strong opinions about either one of them, so I avoided the primaries debates.

[Maru Kitteh]

3. Are there any dimmer switches in your house?

I KID! You know I kid.

I agree with your sentiments of enthusiasm. GO BERNIE!!!!

[Schema Thing]

4. Lol, right?

[annavictorious]

5. I was so mad at him that I only called him Sanders.

Now he's Bernie again.
Hell, he's Bernie baby!

Thank you Senator Sanders.

[calimary]

6. I would guess that he realizes this.

There's simply no way on earth that ANYTHING on his agenda, or ANY of his pet causes, would see the light of day in a Trump administration. No way ANY of those ideas would have a chance in Hell. As a matter of fact, any and all of his ideas, as set out here at this moment would be severely set back, and the clock TURNED back, as far back as the CONS can push it.

Hillary Clinton is the ONLY thing that stands between all of us and a Donald Trump presidency. Let's ALL stand with her! Bernie certainly is doing that now. He understands this very well, I suspect.

[HerbChestnut]

7. I'm glad you've come around, but the hate was never necessary to begin with.

Bernie's speech today was just his stump speech with "Hillary understands" stapled onto it. These are the things he's been campaigning on since the beginning, and it's why so many people voted for him.

[Go Vols]

20. is what I saw too

[tallahasseedem]

9. I was where you were...

I don't think I hated him, I was just extremely frustrated and was starting to resent him. He showed today that he is the true patriot we thought (knew) he is.

[tk2kewl]

10. maybe you should stay focused on the issues then

really, nothing has changed, and while he now has endorsed her as a better alternative than Trump, do you think he is not still wary of her judgement?

[NurseJackie]

14. ...

[TCJ70]

11. Why would you have hated him? N/t

[bigwillq]

12. Why did you hate him?

I can see "disagreed with him", but hate? Wow.

[fun n serious]

15. I don't want to bring up the old...

but " lesser of two evils" and other statements lik epoor judgement...

[NurseJackie]

13. So, I guess this means that Jane is never going to release those taxes, eh? :-P

Oh, I kid the Senator from Vermont and his wife Jane.

[Warren DeMontague]

16. A wise man once said, "aint no time to hate".

But I despite much sturm und drang around and up to this moment, I knew Sanders would do the right thing.

[DLevine]

19. Yes, we know you hated him. nt

[Hell Hath No Fury]

24. It seems a whole lotta people who

hated his fucking guts - and his supporters - are now newly besties.

This gal has a LOOOOng memory...

[Silver_Witch]

28. So does this one!!

[AgingAmerican]

21. Well that's a good thing

Because hatred and anger poison a persons ability to reason, and ruin their integrity.

[TheBlackAdder]

25. A martial arts friend would never get angry. He says that when doing so, a person loses their focus.

.


When he was going through police training, the instructor would get angry at him, because he could never set him off.

Then, then the instructor yelled at him because he wouldn't get mad, asking him why.

When he said that getting angry causes one to lose their focus, the instructor lost his shit and ordered several other trainees to push him into a nearby pond. Which turned out to be a big mistake, even thought he didn't hurt them, just pushed them away each time.

.

[SaschaHM]

22. Woah!

Let's not start doling out administrative positions yet >.>I think Bernie is just fine in the senate. I don't want to see Jeff Weaver anywhere near the white house or the cabinet though.

[TheBlackAdder]

23. Hating something or someone transfers power from you to the object you dislike. A wasteful emotion.

[Yallow]

26. Hated Bernie?

Wow.

What have you got against the 99%........

[Silver_Witch]

27. Hated him???

So many Hillary supporters hated him. Thanks for telling the truth and showing who you are.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

30. I loved him, then was disgusted with him, now it's I like him. He will have to really help us Dems

for me to go back to getting near to loving him again. It will take some time.

[adigal]

31. How can you hate someone who wants justice for all? That's taking politics

WAY too far. Bernie has always been a good, honest man. He fought for all of us like hell, and now that he lost, he will do the same for Hillary.

The things Dems said about him made me leave her and the Daily Kos for a while, and really dislike my fellow Dems. Oh, ye, of little faith, I always knew Bernie would do the right thing.

[TheKentuckian]

32. Justice is an impediment to Just Us, that's why.
