Bernie Sanders endorsing Hillary and other Democratic nominees

"Spoiler" candidates and "protest" votes: Sanders' evolution

This blog entry is partly to demonstrate that Sander's evolution as to for newer party candidates happened long before this primary and partly to amplify and correct some of my own prior posts (replies) on this subject. (And, yes, I do know that, for many, this entry is TLTR, but the subject still seems to be so controversial on this board, more than two months after Bernie endorsed Hillary.)
