Predictably - ever so predictably - Bernie Sanders sells his soul to the devil, Killary Clinton.
Roll
out the Donald or we have World War 111.
Sanders endorses Clinton: She is best candidate to address crises we face
RT,

July, 2016
Nearly
a month after the last Democratic primary, Senator Bernie Sanders
(I-Vermont) has officially endorsed Hillary Clinton, his one-time
rival and the party’s presumptive nominee, for president.
"Secretary
Clinton has won the Democratic nominating process and I congratulate
her for that. She will be the democratic nominee for the president
and I intend to do everything i can to make certain she will be the
next president of the United States," he said joining Clinton in
Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where he trounced her in the first primary
of the season. Its location is reminiscent of 2008, when then-Senator
Clinton (D-New York) conceded the Democratic nomination to Senator
Barack Obama (D-Illinois) at a rally in Unity, New Hampshire.
The pair entered the rally as Bruce Springsteen’s ‘We Take Care of Our Own’ blared. Clinton and Sanders each wore blue.
Sanders
began his remarks by thanking the people who voted for him,
especially in New Hampshire, where he received his first victory, and
in Vermont, his home state. He also thanked those who volunteered for
his campaign and the 2.5 million people who donated “small,
individual contributions.”

“Together,
we have begun a political revolution to transform America and that
revolution continues. Together, we continue the fight to create a
government which represents all of us, and not just the one percent –
a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial and
environmental justice,” Sanders said, saying how proud he was of
the campaign he had run. He then noted that, although he had won
almost 1,900 delegates in the primaries and caucuses in 22 states,
Clinton “goes into the convention with 389 more pledged delegates
than we have and a lot more superdelegates.”
“Secretary
Clinton has won the Democratic nominating process, and I congratulate
her for that. She will be the Democratic nominee for president and I
intend to do everything I can to make certain she will be the next
president of the United States,” Sanders said, officially endorsing
her.

“I
have come here today not to talk about the past but to focus on the
future. That future will be shaped more by what happens on November 8
in voting booths across our nation than by any other event in the
world,” he continued. “I have come here to make it as clear as
possible as to why I am endorsing Hillary Clinton and why she must
become our next president.”
"This
campaign is not really about Hillary Clinton, or Donald Trump or
Bernie Sanders, or any other candidate who sought the presidency.
This campaign is about the needs of the American people and
addressing the very serious crises that we face. And there is no
doubt in my mind that, as we head into November, Hillary Clinton is
far and away the best candidate to do that," he said.
Sanders'
speech was met with both cheers and boos from the crowd.
In
his speech, Sanders focused on “the needs of the American people
and addressing the very serious crises that we face,” including
raising the minimum wage, nominating Supreme Court justices,
improving access to health care and mental health treatment, reducing
income inequality, making college more affordable and accessible, and
ending bigotry. For each issue, he compared Clinton to presumptive
Republican nominee Donald Trump, saying that Clinton was the obvious
choice to continue the policies he and his supporters prefer.
“It
is no secret that Hillary Clinton and I disagree on a number of
issues. That’s what this campaign has been about. That’s what
democracy is about,” Sanders said, before noting that the
Democratic platform, which saw “a significant coming together
between the two campaigns,” will be “by far, the most progressive
platform in the history of the Democratic Party.”
“Our
job now is to see that platform implemented by a Democratic Senate, a
Democratic House and a Hillary Clinton president – and I am going
to do everything I can to make that happen,” he continued.
Sanders
then discussed his relationship with Clinton, dating back 25 years,
including her time as first lady and in the US Senate.

Bernie Sanders endorsing Crooked Hillary Clinton is like Occupy Wall Street endorsing Goldman Sachs.
Presumptive Democratic nominee takes the stage
Clinton
began her remarks by exclaiming how much better her campaign for
president will be now that she and her former rival are on the same
side because “we are stronger together!” she said, quoting the
slogan on the front of the podium. She also thanked his “wonderful
wife, Jane Sanders” and his son Levy.
“Over
these last few weeks, Bernie and I have worked together on plans to
put college within reach for more people and to ensure that everyone
in America has access to quality, affordable health care," she
said. "And now, with your help, we are joining forces to make
sure we defeat Donald Trump, win in November and, yes, together build
a future we can all believe in.”
Bernie Sanders, who has lost most of his leverage, has totally sold out to Crooked Hillary Clinton. He will endorse her today - fans angry!
Clinton
discussed her history with Sanders over the last quarter-century:
“His reputation for passionate advocacy hasn’t always made him
the most popular person in Washington, but, you know what? That’s
generally a sign you’re doing something right!” she said.
She
noted how he had “brought people off the sidelines and into the
political process... energized and inspired a generation of young
people who care deeply about our country and are building a movement
that is bigger than one candidate or one campaign.”
“Thank
you, thank you, Bernie, for your endorsement, but more than that,”
she said as the audience broke into applause, “thank you for your
lifetime of fighting injustice. I am proud to be fighting alongside
you because, my friends, this is a time for all of us to stand
together. These have been difficult days for America.”
Like
Sanders, Clinton delved into the central planks of the Democratic
Party platform, but she also proposed two new steps to help law
enforcement get the support they need but also “stopping the
tragedy” of African-Americans “being killed in police incidents.”
She called for national guidelines on the use of force by officers
and provide better training on implicit bias.
Clinton
then discussed how the Dallas Police Department is a model of how law
enforcement and communities can build trust between them, praising
them for their reaction to an ambush on Thursday that killed five
officers and injured nine others.
She
then pivoted to gun control, mourning the loss of Seth Rich, a
27-year-old Democratic National Committee staff member who was
fatally shot in his Washington, DC neighborhood on Sunday. “Surely
we can agree that weapons of war have no place on the streets of
America,” she said.
From
there, Clinton moved to economic issues, including wealth inequality
and the minimum wage. She promised the biggest investment in jobs
since World War II. However, while she said that the current federal
minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is “a starvation wage,” she did not
go as far as Sanders’ proposed $15 minimum wage. Going against the
Democratic platform, she sided with her former rival in blasting
unfair trade agreements, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership
(TPP).
Effects of waiting to endorse
Sanders
had been under intense pressure to bow out of the Democratic race for
president, but he bided his time and forced both the party platform
and Clinton herself to move to the left on issues important to the
Vermont senator.
The
Democratic platform, unveiled July 1, shows substantial influence
from Sanders. "Millionaires and billionaires" are targeted
in a call to implement a "multimillionaire surtax" and the
phrase "starvation wage" appears in the party's
condemnation of the current minimum wage, saying it "must be
increased to a living wage."
The
platform does not, however, oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership,
which Sanders lamented on Twitter. Additionally, there is no mention
of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, another issue close to Sanders'
campaign and supporters.
Last
Wednesday, Clinton also moved left, adopting a major plank of
Sanders’ campaign by proposing a plan to eliminate college tuition
at public universities for families earning under $125,000 a year.
Free college was a central issue for Sanders.
Sanders
praised Clinton for moving closer to his platform, saying that such a
plan would have a “profound” impact on the US.
Clinton
has also announced a proposal to expand access to health care,
another issue important to Sanders.
The
two campaigns had been working together over the past month to bring
the candidates closer together on issues and make the endorsement
happen.
“The most progressive platform in Democratic Party history adopted over the weekend by the Platform Committee is one result,” Michael Briggs, Sanders’ spokesman, told USA Today. “The millions of supporters of Senator Sanders deserve credit and should be proud that their energy and enthusiasm has yielded these solid results."

Trump Says "Sell-Out" Sanders Now "Part Of The Rigged System"
12 July, 2016
It's Official - BERNIE SANDERS ENDORSES HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT
And just a few weeks after he said the following:
Trump quickly responded...
* * *
As we noted earlier, some say Sanders sold out to Hillary, others that he had no choice if Democrats are to beat Trump, but one thing is for sure - the unholy union of Sanders and Clinton today on stage in Portsmouth, New Hampshire will be must-watch for awkward body-language. Sanders is expected to endorse Hillary and her Wall Street money... Trump had a few things to say, as you can imagine...
