He did fight the good fight. But now the bigger picture is to stop a raving lunatic who is dangerous to the Country and the World, and Bernie, being a sane person, knows this. He won alot of stuff in the D platform. I'm sure, like many D's, he's going to hold his nose when he votes for her, and his enthusiasm on the campaign trail isn't towards electing Hillary, but in preventing someone like Drumpf from getting anywhere near the White House, and the Nuclear Codes.
1)They don't like each other. She wouldn't ask, he wouldn't take it, IMO.
2)A 69 year old POTUS candidate can not and should not have a person older than themselves to be VP
3)Lizzie Warren has none of the negatives(Socialist, Age) that Bernie has, is a gleeful and effective Drumpf attack dog, and would bring out the Bernie wing of the D party far more entusiastically than Bernie himself. I think she's making a huge mistake if she doesn't choose Lizzie.
Jon Stewart analyzes, explains, and destroys Donald Trump and the Republican Party
Brilliant, as usual. Sorry he left.

Oh, how we miss Jon Stewart being on our television every evening. Jon Stewart was interviewed on The Axe Files, David Axelrod’s podcast interview show. Axelrod’s show is pretty good as his access to guests from Nancy Pelosi to CNN’s Anderson Cooper, and the respect he’s earned for being President Barack Obama’s Chief Campaign Strategist, gives his shows a certain gravitas. The interview covered quite a few topics but, being both political animals, it was only a matter of time before they spoke about Donald Trump (about two minutes). Axelrod made the joke that Stewart, when retiring from the Daily Show, had said that he had seen quite a few elections and the one coming up wasn’t going to be any “different.” This gets a laugh from the audience but Stewart isn’t laughing because he does not think there’s anything new about Trump.
statements—or anyone’s statements for that matter. He went into how completely not surprised Stewart is that Trump is the Republican frontrunner as, Stewart explains, he loves to drive and listens to a lot of right-wing talk radio.

I mean we talk about it like it’s something incredibly different, but in truth, how different is it, really? The media, as usual [is] focused on the wrong things and abdicating responsibility for the general filtration of toxicity. You have enormous amounts of money flowing into crazy people who are channeling populism of years past. I mean, if you took Sarah Palin’s head and jammed it on Trump’s body, would it make any more sense?
Stewart spoke initially about the traditional media’s inability to cover the veracity of Trump’s
statements—or anyone’s statements for that matter. He went into how completely not surprised Stewart is that Trump is the Republican frontrunner as, Stewart explains, he loves to drive and listens to a lot of right-wing talk radio.
24/7, as far as I can tell, the conservative side, on the right side, they feel an ownership of America. They are the stewards of America. They are its forbearers. Republicans, conservatives love America. They just hate like 50 percent of the people in America.
He goes on to talk about how the Republican Party has let down its constituents and how delusional Trump’s concept of “America” is. It’s worth a listen as Stewart is funny and insightful and refreshing. Stewart, who spent many many man years looking at the 24-hour news cycles, gives the final—not new—but most damning indictment of the traditional media and the simplicity of Trump’s political acumen.
What works for 24-hour [news]? What is it incentivized for? Here’s what you would want it to be incentivized for—clarity. It is incentivized for what? Conflict.The voices that are amplified are the ones that are the most conflict oriented, the most extreme. Those are the guys that get the airtime. Trump is not playing this, everybody keeps talking like “He’s amazing,” he’s not. This is the first season of Survivor. This is reality show 101. “I’m going to be an enormous dick at the beginning of the show to get all of this attention and then once I make it to final council, then I’m gonna reveal...

New Survey Finds That 85 Percent of Bernie Sanders Supporters Now Plan to Vote for Hillary Clinton

When Bernie Sanders endorsed Hillary Clinton for president Tuesday, a seemingly vast group of Sanders supporters took to social media to express their negative feelings about Clinton. But, despite this wave of rejection by the “Bernie or Bust” movement, a survey finds that a whopping 85 percent of Sanders supporters are now planning to vote for Clinton.
The survey, conducted by the Pew Research Center and released last week (prior to Sanders’ endorsement), found:
Support for Clinton is slightly higher among Democrats and Democratic leaners who backed Sanders in the primary contests: 85% say they plan to vote for Clinton in the general election, compared with 9% who say they will vote for Trump and 6% who volunteer that they will vote for another candidate or don’t know.
The survey also found that young voters, while “highly engaged,” are particularly unhappy with the choices for president. It also confirmed the ample evidence of discord within the Republican Party: 54 percent of Republicans polled said that “disagreements in the party will keep many Republicans from supporting” Donald Trump. In addition, the survey found that 44 percent of voters believe that Trump would “change things for the worse.”
The complete report includes very little mention of third-party candidates like Jill Stein and Gary Johnson.
Mona Chalabi of The Guardian has pointed out potential flaws in the study, writing: “The fact that individuals were asked to state their preferences to a stranger over the phone might have meant that some were reluctant to disclose their intentions openly (in particular, former Sanders [supporters] who plan on switching to Trump).”
Since the survey was conducted before Sanders’ endorsement of Clinton, we don’t know whether the findings would alter the picture. However, the results will probably bolster the hopes of Democratic leaders that Sanders’ supporters will join in the fight against Donald Trump.
Nice try, Sick Brit Twit...
