- Bernie Sanders "backing" Hillary is no surprise, this is what usually happens after a primary debate. The one who loses usually supports the one who wins with the mentality that by not voting for that person, then you are voting for the opposite party's candidate...and we can't quote, unquote "let that happen".
- Bernie LOST the popular vote to Hillary. He LOST. If you take away the super-delegates, Hillary got more popular votes than Bernie did. I would see if Bernie had a higher amount of popular votes than Hillary, and that Hillary only got the nomination due to super-delegates, but that's not what happened here.
- Why wouldn't the Democratic party support the candidate they think is best suited? Again, Bernie did not get more popular votes, if he did....he would have stolen the nomination from Hillary just like Barack did in 2008 (2008 in which the Democratic party came out supporting Hillary Clinton originally as well).
What is Bernie supposed to do? Not support Hillary, not endorse her, and allow his fans to stay home on election day? Wouldn't that be helping Trump get nominated?
