nothing happening here is out of the ordinary or dirty. people drop out of races and endorse another candidate all the time.

the problem with positioning yourself as a fighter against the establishment...the establishment can fight back too. and it usually wins.

*you* drew the line in the sand and placed everyone else on the other side of it.

maybe bernie can win. maybe he cant. but he isnt entitled to the nomination. and candidates throwing their weight behind another candidate (for any reason) isnt stealing/rigging anything.

i give trump a lot of credit on this one aspect. he went up against the republican party establishment *and* fox news. and won. thats a 'movement'. took the entire party from its gatekeepers and it wasnt even close.

i do have a genuine question about bernie. what does it say about your ability to lead a party that you never really took the time/effort to develop these important political relationships in? where are your loyal allies and beneficiaries of your political capital and good will?

who have you bailed out in a tough race? whose legislation have you took the torch on and dragged across the finish line? who are your long time friends in congress that you have old drinking stories with?

if bernie does indeed win...im not sure people are just gonna stick their necks out for him because hes the president. why would these folks trust that you have their best interests at heart too?
