Bernie Sanders has endorsed Hillary Clinton. Some are happy. Some are sad. Did he do the right thing? Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Bernie Sanders finally offered his endorsement of Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, officially ending a bitter presidential primary in order to unite the Democratic party against Donald Trump. The Vermont senator's endorsement comes more than a month after Clinton secured enough delegate support to effectively clinch the nomination, with or without Sanders dropping out of the race.
"Secretary Clinton has won the Democratic nominating process," Sanders said at a rally with Clinton in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. "And I congratulate her for that. She will be the Democratic nominee for president and I intend to do everything I can to make certain that she will be the next president of the United States."
"I have come here today not to talk about the past, but to focus on the future," he continued. "I have come here to make it as clear as possible as to why I am endorsing Hillary Clinton and why she must become our next president.””*

I won’t throw myself under the bus…never Hilary
+Bruce Springsteen Not enthusiasm More like a sense of nervous anticipation
about the future of politics. The ideological ground is shaking and
shifting beneath our feet, both on the right and the left. That’s what
Trump and Sanders represent. I don’t hate rightwingers. On the contrary, I
believe politics is healthier with a strong right and a strong left. I want
to give poor and working people a genuine choice between a Right that cares
about them and a Left that cares about them.
im so butthurt! she won the dnc by cheating and committing fraud the entire
time because her campaign was afraid of bernie supporters winning. its just
so wrong its gonna take me a while to get over this
and for the record im not mad at bernie i understand why he has to / needs
to do this but i am upset that its happening
with the wars hillary is going to get us in…. it will take you and your
children a lifetime to get over it.
Your tears are delicious
I’m going to be sick.
You must be seeing things then.
He kind of looks like he’s going to too
I dont understand, how does someone get the delegate count, with nearly 60%
of the population wanting you in prison
I’m in MS, too, and black and voted for Bernie. We are a rare breed. I dont
see why black folks love Hillary so muc
+Phil “Harmonix” Phan it’s a generational thing. It’s because a lot of
older southerners feel like the clintons were responsible for a greater
economy during Bill’s time in office. Some even called him the first black
president! We of course know about nafta and the crime bill passed to
incarcerate more innocent people, but they arent looking deeper in the
picture like we are.
By being matched up with a candidate that the majority of Americans (at
least according to current poling) dislike even more in a system where the
vast majority of Americans will refuse to consider a candidate other than
one of the two major party candidates.
+Desi Domes it’s because of her husband
OMG, Cenk you fool! #JILLSTEIN2016
he interviewed her
+John-Paul Hunt Refering to the Corporate Establishment Party
Jill has no chance of winning though, but vote for her if you want, even
though its pointless.
+Rimi N Well if the green party wants to have a fighting chance they need
more political capital. Which means they have to assume lower positions in
government and win local elections.
A racist, xenophobic reality tv star VS a lying criminal… We’re fucked.
+TheWokenSpirit The judge was a member of “la Raza” or “the race” in
Mexican, which is a Mexican supremacist group.
Does either of them care about helping the homeless?
It’s Idiocracy in real life.
+dentia browne Nope. President Camacho isn’t nearly as soulless or evil,
just dumb.
Cenk sold out!!!
+PumpkinsnBlackcats
well said!
So, to “sell out” does that just mean that that individual doesn’t agree
with you? Grow up, Cenk is simply being realistic and honest with you,
which is his job.
Won’t Bernie fans think *he* [Bernie] is a sell-out, now (and potentially
not vote at all)?
Everytime Hillary smiles, I feel like vomiting
im 1335 two more likes and this comment is 1337 🙂
Endorsing a criminal…..smh
Looks like I’m voting for Jill Stein now… that is a disappointing move by
Bernie.
+Sara Mina Tahir at least Jill Stein is not a criminal.
…I love when she’s happy and puffs up those chipmunk cheeks and flashes
that special-ed smile…
NEVER HILLARY
+Imma roast you * I don’t know. It’s really a tough choice between a
xenophobic moron and a murderous corrupt criminal.
Using a buzzword! I’m convinced! Pack it in boys we’re voting for Hillary,
ya jackass
hillary 100% threatened to kill him.
+Antonio Cabrera Eww
You all are sad.
Your an idiot
Why does Cenk keep pretending we had a fair election?
This make no sense. Bernie Sanders can be in the debate against Hillary
Clinton and Donald Trump if he accepted Jill Stein’s offer to take over the
Green Party’s nomination. Bernie Sanders would have gained 15% in the polls
and get into the debate, where he would win against both Hillary and Trump
in the national debate. But Bernie refused to join the Green Party, and
thats why he is a traitor. And Young Turks, Sam Seder, and David Pakman
supported this too, I will never forget that. Traitors! Poor people
invested their money in Bernies campaign and now that support is behind
wall street Hillary. That is stealing from the poor people
Green party’s Jill Stein invites Bernie Sanders to take over ticket
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jul/08/jill-stein-bernie-sanders-green-party
Not fair, just in reality there’s nothing that could be done, unfortunately.
+TheUnholiness Within
I want Cenk to support Jill Stein and Talk to Bernie Sanders to do the
same for the reasons I already stated. If the Green PArty get 15% in the
debate, wich they will with TYT and Bernies support they will get into the
debate and win. But TYT will not do that because they are traitors just
like Bernie
Bernie Sanders has become the Ned Stark of American politics.
+Sebass Private Bernie is nothing like Ned Stark. Ned is honorable. Bernie
is suppose to be this ultimate anti establishment candidate yet we see him
endorsing one of the biggest corporate whores in American history. Bernie
Sanders supporters are basically in hardcore denial.
if you are going with a game of thrones analogy, obviously it’s the high
sparrow losing to cersei.
+liz clampet hahaha so true.
Still not voting for her
+Sadie McMurrin
you are a perfect example of a sheep. blindly voting for them demoncrats
because somehow they convinced you they are the only party that cares for
women. your vote is a scam. nothing more than political brainwashing
because the democrats have a better marketing strategy than the repubs.
Democrats will have a lot more power under Clinton. Bernie would be able to
achieve a lot more under her, than under Trump. I don’t want to have Bush’s
third term, of course it didn’t kill us, but it hurt America a lot. Bill
was questionable in some areas, but he was effective, and I bet Hillary
will be too. This comes from a somewhat broken Bern fan, but never Trump.
+Panzafat
too late for that comment you should of said it in the early 90’s when
clinton was exporting Americas industries into china
#NeverHillary
same old politician trader sellouts.. as a Bernie or bust person its now
time to join the Trump movement because he been saying this for a year that
ALL politicians will trade in their values for the CRIMINAL establishment..
its time to end this system and what better way than for the Trump asteroid
to slam directly into Washington.. #neverhillary
I would take Trump over Clinton, it’s a hard choice but if those are my
only options I’d rather 4 years of Trump over 8 years of Clinton.
Bernie sounds like someone is holding him at gunpoint saying all of that.
or maybe you just realized how corrupt he was and how he only cares about
money
Anyone else watching this with a head that can’t stop shaking ?
If he wasn’t being an idiot he would not back her. I don’t think he is an
idiot I think he is being an idiot. More than likely he received death
threats against some of his loved ones. If not then this literally was all
set up including him and his socialist campaign. Now they know who all of
the hardcore socialists actually are thanks to social media. By they way I
wanted him to fight to the death ‘so to speak’.
