I Agree With Bernie on This
Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders said Sunday that his level of support for Hillary Clinton as the party’s nominee would be “totally dependent” on whether she incorporates a progressive agenda like his into her campaign against the Republican nominee.
The senator from Vermont said he would do all he can to prevent a “right-wing Republican” from becoming president, but he laid out some conditions when asked during an appearance on ABC News’s “This Week” whether he would make an “enthusiastic case” for Clinton.

Do you think he'd follow through if she declined?

If Bernie wants to do to the D-tribe what some are doing to the R-tribe that is his prerogative.

Re: I Agree With Bernie on This
It will be very hard to get the under 35 voters to vote for Clinton! As a group they feel the "system" is stacked against them. It seems they don't like her and feel she is dishonest. How can Clinton support a Sanders progressive agenda? She is bought and paid for by the establishment!
As far as Sanders maybe supporting Clinton? It's politics!

There is really NO ONE other than Sanders in either tribe that seems to be hitting the under 35 hot buttons. That said, they will either have to stay on the sidelines OR pick the candidate/tribe that they believe best will get them where they want to go.

Re: I Agree With Bernie on This
flower, I think you may be misinterpreting something here. Sanders says he will support Clinton, but his level of enthusiasm may be tempered if she doesn't listen to those who are on board with his progressive agenda. He has a point in that the under 40 age group has been very supportive of his progressive agenda.
If she wants to encourage them to vote for her, she is going to have to show them she is listening and speaking to them, too. I think Bernie is right.
I think we need to understand something I've believed all along ................. Clinton is running a candidacy while Sanders is leading a movement. There's a big difference.
