I think Bernie has a very important decision to make. [View all]

Either come together right now and organize to support Hillary AND play a very important role in shaping the future of the Democratic party to make positive changes. Or to continue with his negative campaigning, ignoring to call off his vicious and over-the-top supporters, and become another spoiler for the party and relate himself to the dust bin of history.

Hillary is forgiving and gracious and smart. She knows she needs Bernie supporters to win the GE but she will go it without them if need be. This means that they will have little or no chance to shape the platform or be substantively relevant in a Clinton administration.

The number really do not add up for him to win this and it is total disrespect for his supporters if he continues to lead them on. Of course, he may be holding on for an indictment. If that happens he can always re-enter the race and maybe win it but to continue tearing down Hillary at this point if harmful the Dem party and his own political career.
