Bernie Sanders endorses Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton’s political rival Bernie Sanders has thrown his weight behind the presumptive Democratic nominee.
“Secretary Clinton has won the Democratic nominating process,” Sanders on Tuesday much to Clinton’s relief.
“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.”
Sanders contested the Democratic Primaries with Clinton but failed to match her strides.
Many feared Sanders may harm Clinton’s chances against US Republican Donald Trump if he fails to support her.
Those fears my now be laid to rest.
Sanders’ endorsement of Hillary Clinton comes after “14 months of policy clashes and moments of mutual disdain”, New York Times noted.
If those who “feel the Bern” vote for Clinton, Trump is toast!
“I have come here to make it as clear as possible why I am endorsing Hillary Clinton and why she must become our next president,” Sanders said as he took the stage with her at Portsmouth High School.
One of Sanders’, and President Barack Obama’s concerns is that Trump, who seem to be racist, xenophobic and misogynistic, should not be US president.
Bernie Sanders, who has lost most of his leverage, has totally sold out to Crooked Hillary Clinton. He will endorse her today – fans angry!

“With your help, we’re joining forces to defeat Donald Trump, win in November, and build a future we can all believe in,” Clinton said while receiving Sanders’ endorsement with gratitude.
“Thank you, thank you Bernie for your endorsement, but more than that, thank you for your lifetime of fighting injustice.
“I am proud to be fighting alongside you because, my friends, this is a time for all of us to stand together,” she said.
If Sanders’ mostly young supporters vote for Clinton, GOP’s Donald Trump will lose scandalously.
Trump, who is trying to win Sanders’ fans over, said the endorsement mean Sanders “has totally sold out to Crooked Hillary Clinton.”.
