Portsmouth, New Hampshire (CNN)Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders will formally declare an end to their political rivalry Tuesday, a moment that couldn't come quickly enough for the former secretary of state trying to unite Democrats against Donald Trump.

Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee, hopes to rev up voters on the left with help from Sanders, the 74-year-old self-described democratic socialist who excited the liberal base and won young voters by large margins during the primary.

The joint rally here in Portsmouth will begin putting to rest Democratic fears of a political nightmare scenario: that Sanders might sit on his hands in the general election -- or worse, run as a third-party candidate on the left.
Clinton aides are confident that Sanders could be the former secretary of state's potent weapon against Trump.

Whoo hoo! Unity!!

On edit, CNN changed the headline at the link. It started as "How the Clinton-Sanders unity summit came together and what it means for Democrats" then changed to "Bernie Sanders endorses Hillary Clinton"

Give it a fucking rest.

[Kelvin Mace]

14. Really?

That is what you call "respect"? Thank you for making my point.

[leftynyc]

21. There was no point

Other than whining. That would be making MY point.

[NastyRiffraff]

15. There always has to be one

intent on spoiling a very positive thread.

Meanwhile, the rest of us welcome Senator Sanders. (Not the greatest person in the world)

Hope your whiplash heals soon!

17. See, here's this thing

I take people at their word. I am not like so many of our politicians who talk about what horrible, vile people their opponents are, then claim to be good friends.

I take people's attacks on my morals and ethics at face value, so all of this "positivity" from these same people strikes me as insincere and rather self-serving. I have spent months being told what a vile person I am for not supporting "their candidate", so I take all this praise and celebration with a large grain of salt. I await for the next issue that will cause the cheering mob to turn on anyone who dares question the orthodoxy.

[NastyRiffraff]

18. Right.

You have the last word you wanted and needed. Have a nice day!

[Amimnoch]

25. Perhaps you should direct towards someone who made those attacks?

Instead of my OP.

[brooklynite]

16. Thank you, Senator Sanders.

19. Im heartbroken

[PassingFair]

20. #girl I guess I'm with her. Nt

[Qutzupalotl]

23. I didn't get my first choice, so I'm voting for my second.

Seems like a no-brainer.

[Amimnoch]

24. Would have happily done the same.

[Masked Dissident]

26. One of the lesser evils

Bernie Sanders can't sit by and watch Trump get elected. He had no choice.
