In reply to the discussion: Will Bernie Send Grassroots Movement To Hillary If She's The Nominee? [View all]Atmosk
(9 posts)57. Why would an endorsement matter?
Who in there right mind decides who to vote for based on what endorsements they receive?
Even if people like that exist, then why would anyone care who Bernie endorses? I voted for sanders because I genuinely believe in the ideas he's expressing and because I believe in the vision of America he is projecting. If another candidate comes along who has contrary views then the ones I know are right, then it doesn't matter if he begged me personally to vote for them, I wouldn't. Bernie himself isn't at all important in all this, its the ideas he is putting forth that matters.

Who said she wouldn't get elected? I think she will, and the markets have her at 70% now.
