Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumWeaver: Bernie will be a Democrat for life.
An hour or so ago on MSNBC's "With All Due Respect," Mark Halperin asked Sanders' campaign manager Jeff Weaver if Bernie would "stay a Democrat for life." Weaver said yes, he will.
Can't imagine anyone believed him. I wonder what Bernie thinks about that.
Update: Conflict between Weaver and Devine?
From Josh Marshall at TPM:
He's definitely not throwing in the towel. He clearly wants Sanders to stay in through California. And there's no reason why he shouldn't. But he's very conspicuously not on the same page as Weaver.

Even though the party he cursed as the establishment allowed this non-Democrat who talked frequently about launching a primary run against our president to run as a Democrat.
We're still not good enough for this puritan
