[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He will support the Democratic nominee when the time comes. He's said he will not run as a third party candidate. He will not at this point in time engage in a discussion about whom he will support, because NO CANDIDATE DOES THIS until they drop out.   NO CANDIDATE DOES THIS.  [/quote]
You're simply wrong about this.  All of the Republican candidates signed a pledge to support the ultimate nominee. They all stood there on live TV (twice!) and pledged they'd support the ultimate nominee.

[quote]Moderator: Tonight, in 30 seconds, can you definitively say you will support the Republican nominee, even if that nominee is Donald J. Trump?
Rubio: I’ll support Donald if he’s the Republican nominee, and let me tell you why. ...
Cruz: Yes, because I gave my word that I would. 
Kasich:  I will support whoever is the Republican nominee for president.

Moderator: Mr. Trump, ... Can you definitively say tonight that you will definitely support the Republican nominee for president, even if it’s not you?
Trump: Yes, I will.[/quote]

So don't give us this crap again about how "no candidate does this."

But Bernie?  Nope.  He's going to lay out a series of strict requirements that Clinton has to meet first before he'll support her.  Making support conditional is really what "no candidate does" ... except for Bernie.  So screw him.    It's that sort of ego-driven crap that is making me dislike Bernie more and more each day.

Yeah, yeah, I'm sure some Sanders fan is going to respond to say I'm not sufficiently kissing enough Bernie ass ... and that this isn't the way to attract the Sanders fan.  Well, I'm done trying to attract Sanders fans.  Sanders doesn't deserve any flattery when he pulls blackmail stunts like this, and neither do his supporters when they play the same game.

Sanders eventually endorsed Obama.  What makes you think he won't eventually endorse whomever becomes the Democratic nominee?  Seems to me you're making a mountain out of a mole hill.  Why isn't Clinton endorsing Sanders?[/quote]
Because she already said a long time ago that she'd support the Democratic nominee, maybe?
