I could see hints of unity in it, but I also see a man who has fought hard for what he believes in and he wants DC to have a voice. It also gives him a week to prepare for an even better speech.

Bernie is a great man and will be remembered as an American hero. And a large part of why is because I think he will indeed end up reaching out for unity as well as influencing the party platform for years to come.

He is right. The struggle does continue. Not just for Sanders supporters or Clinton supporters but for all of us. We all want the American dream to be a reality once again.
