Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumI think I want a clear answer from her.
And I don't know if anybody has asked her this question (Correct me if I'm wrong), which is "would you fully support Bernie Sanders as Democratic choice, if you don't get the nomination?"
I know Bernie has answered that hypothetical question countless times because they would ask him the question all of the time. Hillary hasn't because no one asks her that question.
It should be clear to everyone that at this point she could very well lose. And after hearing her saying "I'll win so he doesn't have to" about Bloomberg threatening to run, I don't feel so comfortable. Because what, if Bernie wins, another Wall Street candidate HAS TO run?

as when she was asked if she would make public the content of her hundreds-of-thousands-of-dollars speech.

(1,145 posts)is very revealing and it shows that she understands exactly WHY Bloomberg is threatening to run: She was chosen as the preferred representative of the 1% class and they fear she may not pull through for them.

(1,192 posts)Every single time Bernie has been asked that hypothetical question, his answer couldn't have been more clear. If she's the nominee, he's gonna ask his supporters to get behind Hillary. He made it very clear he's gonna do everything to not see the right-wing extremist going into the WH, should he not get the nomination. That's crystal clear.
Her answer, on the other hand, is very concerning to me. Because you know what? If Bloomberg really was to run, it WILL take away votes from the democratic nominee, and it WILL add to the chance of Donald Trump or Ted Fucking Cruz going into the WH.
If she felt truly bound by the rules and the future of the Democratic Party, then she would have said anything to the effect of "Bloomberg is a democrat. We don't do that to each other. If democratic voters choose the democratic candidate, then we should get behind that person."
So it does make me question her commitment to the process. Does she favor democratic win? or Wall Street win?
