I've Got The Feeling Sanders Is Going To Get Buried Under The Avalanche Of Endorsements For HRC [View all]

Now that President Obama has endorsed Hillary, there is no reason for every other Dem not to endorse her. There is no reason for any uncommitted super delegate to hold back. There is zero political upside to sticking with or endorsing Sanders at this point, so we may well see a couple more of his supers switching to Hillary as well.

By the weekend, Sander's intransigence is going to be a Page 20 story, if that.

Let's see whether he cancels the protest rallies in Philadelphia. Koinos Jun 2016 #10

I bet he doesn't. Squinch Jun 2016 #13

If he doesn't, that would indicate a certain amount of recalcitrance is still operating. Koinos Jun 2016 #15

But as time goes by he is squandering his influence, and he will be less and less able to Squinch Jun 2016 #16

But a big protest would get TV time. Hope it never happens. Koinos Jun 2016 #17
