43. I agree Bernie could have been relevant

if the M$M had given him 1/2 the coverage they gave Trump, but they didn't;
and he's doing exactly what he needs to do to advance his policies as far as
possible.

He needs to be able to look his supporters in the eye when he endorses, because
he's got integrity and wants to give a convincing endorsement when he gives it.

If Sanders' endorsement is so "irrelevant", why are Hillary supporters being so surly about it?	99th_Monkey	Jul 2016	#36
