1. I will believe it when I hear it.

He may just be leaking that to get more attention.

14. Same here

Its way to damn late at this point anyway IMO.

[MaggieD]

2. I don't think anybody cares at this point

I know I sure don't.

6. At very least you like to talk about how much you don't care.

Every chance you can.

10. Yes, Aikoaiko. Sanders decisions and behavior are fascinating. We are fascinated. Totally.

Literally, the joy Sanders has given me in insight and focus has been such a gift in growth. We do continue to talk about him, as he continues to do stuff that has us talking about him.

Btw. I do not buy the script that any news is good news.

13. It's all those who must take time to declare Bernie irrelevant because of his relevance.

It is fascinating.

Many HRC supporters wanted Bernie to be relevant by endorsing and speaking for HRC 1 or 2 months ago, but Bernie stayed relevant by taking his agenda to the platform committee and helping to make the party more attractive to his supporters.

And that will help Hillary win the election.

You might not like his tactic but his actions have shown liberals who are not fond of HRC that the Democratic Party is with engaging, influencing, and supporting. It's really a lot better than him merely saying we should vote for HRC and taking a vacation.

16. You see it different. In your landscape that makes it a good thing. It isn't.

He is owning our Democratic platform and from the start of the race he did the same. He does not own our Democratic platform we have been working on for decades, as he has been rewarded by all the hard work.

How you see it is different from how many see it.

It is not a pretty picture. There are still lessons. I appreciate insight. Value it. Crave it. And Sanders is providing.

Hence, me using message boards for discussion, and Sanders being top on the list. Today, anyway. Tomorrow, who knows.....

Sanders endorsement has become worthless. The best we do is get it over with now, or do not do it at all.

That makes his endorsement irrelevant.

That is what we say, when using the word irrelevant. It doesn't matter one iota if Sanders endorses or not.

11. For someone who doesn't care you spend a lot of time bashing Bernie

Did he run over your puppy or something?

[workinclasszero]

17. I only care for the Schadenfreude aspect

I can't wait to see the purists tear each other apart, like they have tried to do to all the non-believer democrats for the last many months.

I will cherish each and every tear!

[Squinch]

3. Kay. That's nice.

[Lord Magus]

4. For real this time or is he stringing Democrats along again?

Based on how he's handled things so far, I'm skeptical.

[cloudythescribbler]

5. The point is that Bernie WILL endorse BEFORE the END of the Convention, and ...

then actively campaign for HRC and a long list of other (hopefully select) Democrats. All this annoying talk about how Bernie is being egotistical in waiting for when HE thinks it wisest, or whatever has only ONE predictable effect: alienating Bernie's voters, who I doubt are already 81% on board, as one highly cited poll suggests. I think it is very important to maximize that percentage, at least in the swing states, and all this negative focus on Bernie is hampering that goal

[seabeyond]

8. The point. He doesn't get to use the convention as his own personal mega phone.

That is not the purpose.

[seabeyond]

7. Pfffft. Well, I would much rather he get it over with, than muster the enthusiasm at the convention.

It would be nice to get it done, or don't do it at all.

[SaschaHM]

9. I'll believe it when I see it.

That being said, I feel sorry for the staffer reading replies to Bernie's tweets. He is about to see some vicious things.

[anotherproletariat]

12. If he does endorse, does that mean he also must suspend his candidacy?

Can one support another candidate and still have an active campaign? What is he going to do without the Secret Service detail? Who will drive him around? I think he should remain a candidate indefinitely. He deserves it.

15. I'll believe it when it actually happens
