Am not happy. But it was a given I wouldn't be once it was obvious who the options were.

He'd been withholding endorsement for a long time, saying Clinton needed to do more to offer something solid to the working and middle class.

She changed her college plan proposal more to his direction, and that was what made the difference. Sanders was for free college for all.. Clinton was for "debt free more affordable college." The big change she made, is that now it's "first two years of college free for everyone, from households with $112k income or less."

Well okay, so that's some kind of real compromise. It's not "total free college for all" and it's not "free 2 year college for all" -- but at least it's free 2 year college for middle and working class. So that's pretty fair and a significant reform, Bernie gave her credit for that.

Has anyone heard from BS lately? Other than fawning fter media attention with attacks on the President I mean, is he saying anything useful?

He's saying the FBI investigation of his wife is a witch hunt and the DOJ is wrong and his wife isn't guilty and the indictment is political and she won't go to jail for fraud.
