Former President Bill Clinton, husband to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, suggested Thursday that he'd use his superdelegate vote to support Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) if he won the Democratic nomination.
The former President told The New York Daily News that he did the same thing in 2008 when Hillary Clinton lost the nomination to then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL).
"It happened last time, Clinton told the newspaper. Last time I did what my candidate asked, I voted for Barack Obama."

Time for change
(13,714 posts)He'll use his vote to support Bernie IF Bernie wins the nomination. In other words, he'll only vote for Bernie IF Bernie doesn't need his vote because he's already won. But if Bernie has more pledged delegates than Hillary, and Hillary needs the superdelegates to pull it out for her, what will he do then? He doesn't say it here. Hmmm, I bet I know what he'll do.
If I was a superdelegate and she was my wife, I guess I'd vote for her too. But this statement by Bill Clinton really means almost nothing.
