Clinton says her campaign talking to Sanders camp about unifying Democrats

Should we all send her a dollar now?

WASHINGTON, May 31 (Reuters) - U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday her campaign has been in contact with the campaign of rival Bernie Sanders about unifying the Democratic Party.

Unifying the party will be a central challenge once Democrats choose their nominee, with Clinton heavily favored to win the nomination but facing a protracted battle with Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont

In an interview on CNN, Clinton said the contacts are likely to intensify after next week's California primary.

"I will certainly do everything I can to unify the Democratic Party. Our campaigns have been reaching out to one another. We will continue to do that," she said.

She said both she and Sanders "are going to do everything we can" to prevent Republican candidate Donald Trump from winning the Nov. 8 presidential election.

nominated, she'll need our votes. Guess this is another in a long series of flip-flops.

No way would I remotely consider voting for her until unredacted speech transcripts are released and she is cleared in the FBI investgation. Even then I'd have to hold my nose, and it would not be a vote for Hillary. It woud only be a vote against Trump.

you talk to the FBI and get that affair straighten out and done with.

I wish someone would do an TV add on this whole email mess before the last primaries. I know Bernie won't go there but like I said 'somebody''

we who don't know the agreements made to use the DNC controlled database can only hope that he has migrated his data to a device he controls.

based on articles many weeks ago, that seemed to indicate that the Democratic hierarchy wanted access to Bernie's database of supporters.

Think I need another coffee...

"She said both she and Sanders "are going to do everything we can" to prevent Republican candidate Donald Trump from winning the Nov. 8 presidential election. " That doesn't necessarily mean what She thinks.

He has never come out and said he will support her or campaign for her. What he has said is, "I will do whatever it takes to make sure Trump doesn't make it to the WH."

And THAT isn't Hillary Clinton!

He definitely has a Plan B and a Plan C.

PEACE

We really don't need to hear form his dem opponent anymore.

Bernie is going to be the nom.

Just accept it warmongers, it's going to happen, sorry not sorry.

...to withdraw for the good of the party. Otherwise, the Dems are toast in the fall, and I'll be long gone, searching for a new party that represents progressive ideals and doesn't just pretend to (and only when it's convenient). I'm so done.

The queen 👑 is already losing to him by 2-3 points. Bernie wins by 15 points!

As soon as she drops out, we'll unite behind Bernie...and not until that happens. She knows she's going to be indicted. For the good of this country, she needs to get the hell out of the race!

PEACE
LOVE
