Sanders' painfully awkward reaction when asked about Obama endorsing Hillary Clinton [View all]

Bernie Sanders had a painfully awkward reaction to being asked about President Barack Obama's endorsement of Hillary Clinton moments after news of it broke online.

"Senator Sanders, what is your reaction to the president endorsing Hillary Clinton today?" a reporter asked Sanders, who was sitting across from Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid.

Silence.

Reid attempted to thwart additional questions, but reporters asked again what Sanders' thoughts were.

Sanders remained silent.

I think he realizes that it's over. His solemn facial expression, especially toward the end when he looks down at the floor, is very telling.
