Post-primaries, Clinton and Sanders try to come together

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., speaks during a news conference outside his campaign headquarters in Washington. For Hillary Clinton and Sanders, getting to that Unity, New Hampshire, moment might take some time.

WASHINGTON >> It may take time for Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders to find that moment of unity.

After their lengthy primary campaign, Sanders has not yet conceded the race or called Clinton the presumptive nominee. People close to both campaigns say a formal endorsement is not imminent.

Sanders has indicated the coming weeks could give him his best opportunity to get Clinton’s sign-off on a number of policy positions and election reforms that he has supported.

Their face-to-face meeting at a Washington hotel on Tuesday night was just an initial step in the process leading up to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

    Stay with it Bernie. Cheryl Mills’ evidence is amazing, full of classic Clintonian evasions. She used the phrase “I don’t remember” or “I don’t recall” 189 times. This deserves to be brought to a wider audience–not censored and hidden away. And we now have it on film.
    More to come.

    Even after Clinton had won the needed number of pledged delegates and had blown Sanders away in the popular vote, Sanders sustained his threat to carry his campaign to the convention in an attempt to convince super delegates (whom he had repeatedly called “undemocratic”) to overturn the popular vote. At best, this is a revealing act of hypocrisy and self-interest that one might expect from Drumpf, and, at worst, it exposes Sanders as a political suicide bomber.
