Sanders Endorses Clinton

[Ben]

Looks like they made the deal. Sanders is endorsing Clinton and her platform, "The most progressive in our history". Clinton, for her part said, "we need to go big" on the progressive agenda (which I assume is the cover charge she had to pay for Sanders' support).

I'll be interested to see if this will actually bring any "bern" support to her, or if that demographic is still against her and her establishment ways. On the other side,  I wonder if this will drive away a significant portion of the "Wall Street democrats" and fly-over dems who are into higher taxes, but only to a point. If Clinton is embracing the Sanders agenda, then by default she's embracing tax hikes for more than "the rich". I'm sure she's been embracing that anyway, but on the down-low. This makes it a part of her platform.

"Most progressive in history." Hmmmm

Does this mean the media will stop talking about her as the status quo candidate? (I know, I'm hilarious.)

Well, here's an indication of how Sanders supporters feel about the endorsement. Gotta say, Trump actually had the best line about it.
