What a shame but I get why he did it...it's all about party allegiances...Hillary eviscerated Obama at times when she was running against him but then had to changer her tune to support him.
It's just a shame that we are played like chess pieces...

Democrat Candidate Bernie Sanders is (has as of 11:30am EST) officially endorsing Hillary Clinton for President.
Bernie is in New Hampshire at a Clinton Rally and he has in fact endorsed her.
He says Hillary is the best Candidate.
So now we have Bernie supporting the proven lies too ?
Slap in the face for Bernie supporters.
Watching him talk now sounds like he's not what he was a few months ago.
Watch live: Sanders to endorse Clinton in N.H.

SELL OUT!
But Sanders, despite his reputation as a left-wing purist (at least by American standards), is also a canny politician, and he never said that his recommendation would come cheap. To the fury of many Clinton supporters, he has been holding off on offering his endorsement for more than a month now, since the primary season effectively ended, on June 7th. These delaying tactics appear to have worked.
In order to win over Sanders and his supporters, the Clinton campaign has made policy concessions in a number of areas, including education, the minimum wage, and the death penalty. It would be going too far to say that the runner-up in the primaries is dictating policy; on trade, fracking, and some other issues, the Clinton campaign appears to have stood firm and rejected demands by Sanders and his supporters. But the deal that Sanders and Clinton have struck will shift the Democratic Party further away from the centrist, New Democrat philosophy that Bill Clinton campaigned on in 1992, and closer to the social democratic, or “New Deal liberal,” approach that Sanders has long promoted.
The most visible sign of this shift came last week, when Clinton said that she would make tuition free at state colleges and universities for any student whose family isn’t in the top fifteen per cent of the income distribution. Although some details of the Clinton proposal differed from the vision that Sanders laid out during the Democratic primaries, the thrust was the same. In the words of the headline that ran above a critical editorial in Monday’s Wall Street Journal, “Free College, Dude!”

That's wishful thinking on your part! LOL! He's doing the same as I am... If Bernie can't win, then the next priority is to make sure that Trump doesn't!

Bernie knows EXACTLY what he is doing here and it is still consistent with his message and values. Though I wouldn't expect anyone from the right to understand that.

This independent doesn't understand it either. And I am certain a few Bernie supporters don't either.

Posted this in the other thread:
To people calling Bernie a sellout, you don't know what you are talking about. Bernie has successfully gotten many of his platform ideas implemented into Hillary's campaign. It's smart for him to endorse her now.
