Obama Privately Tells Donors That Time Is Coming to Unite Behind Hillary Clinton

[firebrand80]

In unusually candid remarks, President Obama privately told a group of Democratic donors last Friday that Senator Bernie Sanders is nearing the point where his campaign against Hillary Clinton will come to an end, and that the party must soon come together to back her.

5. He didn't say anything to me.

If he's talking to heavy breathers, they don't donate to Bernie anyway.

6. Until all citizens have had the chance to vote in all primaries and caucuses..

President Obama should keep his mouth shut. But once again the establishment simply presumes that most everyone will fall in line, and that they have nowhere else to go. The lack of respect and the arrogance are understandable...most all Dems and progressives always do fall in line...and probably will. And the status quo keeps rolling along...

They could wait until June to start telling us about the demon Trump, or the Supreme Court...what are they afraid of?

7. He knows Bernie will do away with TPP

Obama has a lot riding on TPP. So do the 99% but in the opposite direction.

When Bernie is nominated, you think Obama will vote for him? I kinda doubt it.
