Former Bernie-hater, Peter Daou, writes article in The Nation in favor of Sanders' Campaign

Daou makes a point of noting that he is not writing the article to endorse Bernie, but that Sanders has the potential to defeat t**** and that if the Democratic establishment were to attempt to hobble his campaign it would be political suicide.

The Article: I Was Bernie's Biggest Critic In 2016-I've Changed My Mind

Bernie Sanders is unquestionably in the top tier of candidates for the Democratic nomination, and it would be an epic act of self-destruction for Democrats to plunge into an internecine conflict over his candidacy at a time when they need to marshal every asset to defeat Trump and his GOP cronies. I am calling on Democrats, progressives, and leftists to hit the pause button, to table our disagreements, no matter how intense, as we fight to preserve the rule of law and the last semblance of our democracy. We owe it to ourselves and our country.
