correctly, he has to endorse AFTER the convention, not before. So he's not going to endorse now because he takes his candidacy all the way to the convention, I hope?

There was a post about Sanders delegates being refused by the party because they had openly refused to support the party's nominee unconditionally, which seems to be part of the rules of being a delegate. Sanders delegates should not openly go Bernie or Bust or they risk their credentials. I imagine the same might be true of candidates, and of course Bernie needs to preserve his leverage by dangling the much desired and often prematurely announced endorsement in front of the DNC.

So while I hope this is somehow the reason, it doesn't make sense to me.

I think the point is that if you go to the convention and participate in the voting, then you have to agree to be bound by the results of the voting. Now there are lots of reasons why that 'contract' may be invalidated, due to shenanigans with the voting or delegates, for example, but going in, you kind of have to play by the rules. There is still a fight to be fought that is why the hillaroids and their dupes here keep shouting 'endorsement' to discourage Sanders supporters. It is the same thing they have been doing for months, but we have to step up to them when they post their little poison concern troll droppings. I'm not sure about the etiquette of naming names, but look for 'Endorsement' in the title. Waving that word around is a red flag (present essay excluded!).

Hillary in no way supports or represents the values you or your supporters represent. As a matter of fact she is the antisithis in many ways. Please don't bend to the political hacks will

Yes, it is true. She is the Anti-Christ. Wait you ment antithesis didn't you? Well... I still stand by my comment!

And on the off chance you really did mean antisithis...well I happen to think that Hillary and Sithis, the Dread Father, would get along swell. Both really seem to like killing.

Bernie Sanders Will Endorse Hillary Clinton Next Week: Report

The endorsement is expected to occur next Tuesday, when Sanders and Clinton will appear together at a rally in New Hampshire, Democratic sources first told NBC News on Wednesday.

This is the AP story they are sourcing: AP SOURCE: CLINTON, SANDERS DISCUSSING ENDORSEMENT EVENT

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders campaigns are discussing a potential event next week in New Hampshire, during which the Vermont senator would endorse Clinton's White House bid.

A Democrat familiar with the plans said Wednesday if the two sides continue to make progress, Clinton and Sanders would appear at the joint event Tuesday in New Hampshire. The Democrat spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss the plans.

Clinton and Sanders officials declined comment on the possible rally, which was first reported by NBC News.

The story is off the record speculation, part of the storm of hillaroid endorsement announcement disinformation.
