I thought that is the way it is supposed to work. Multiple candidates run for the nomination and one wins. Once that happens those who supported the also ran can either sabotage the party by refusing to vote or they can support the party and try to make sure Republicans run the show for the next term.
Um, for those that don’t know much of anything, Bernie is an Independent. He was allowed to run as a Dem and he KNEW HOW THE PROCESS WORKS!! For those of you who are mad about the process, why do you think Bernie is an idiot who hadn’t a clue but think he can run the country? He is smart and he knew from the gitgo or he is an idiot who had no idea how things work. It can’t be both.
Bernie didn’t seem to feel kicked to the curb based on his statements and speeches so far. He brought his issues to the table and negotiated for inclusion. The DNC included some of his policies in the platform. Trump on the other hand worked with the party of exclusion, and although the RNC put forth one it’s most right wing platforms so far, Trump is ignoring it. Of course, saying one thing and doing another is SOP for the GOP.
Bernie has had far more influence on the Democratic agenda than he or anyone else could have imagined. Furthermore it is a positive influence. Some might ask how do you pay for the programs he advocates that will benefit America and Americans. Easy, you stop stupid invasions that cost trillions and you downsize the military. Then watch for America to become great again.
“I thought that is the way it is supposed to work. Multiple candidates run for the nomination and one wins.”.The point was that the party leaders lied to the party members to make them pick the candidate they favored..Yes, afterward Bernie Sanders endorsed Hillary Clinton not because he agrees with her but because “It’s easy, it is easy to boo, but it is harder to look your kids in the face who would be living under a Donald Trump presidency.”.Translated: " Bad as we believe she will be, I believe not supporting her would risk putting an even worse person in power: Donald Trump ."(He is right, of course, if those are the only two options.)

Looks like Clinton won the nomination. Weren’t there 20-some candidates the elephant stomped out in the primary season?
