CLEARING UP SOME MISINFORMATION about Senator Merkley [View all]

Senator Merkley's super delegate vote is still pledged to Bernie.
some people here on du are believing the cnn MISINFORMATION that senator merkley is endorsing hillary. he is not. he is "supporting" her. this is the language the sanders campaign is using at this time.

"we" are going to the convention and "we" are doing everything we can to build the dnc platform to reflect the campaign's platform.

senator merkley will not change his super delegate vote for 2 reasons: he is pledged to bernie AND his district and the state of oregon voted overwhelming for bernie in the primary. only one county favored hillary and it was by 1 vote.

please correct persons who continue to repeat the lie that merkley has gone the way of elizabeth warren to camp hillary.

p.s. i feel somewhat responsible because over the weekend i also misinterpreted the cnn report of their interview last friday with senator merkley.
