Bernie Sanders Endorses Hillary Clinton (cnn.com)

It's official. U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders on Tuesday endorsed former presidential rival Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee ahead of the party's July convention. Sanders said Clinton will make an outstanding president and that he is proud to stand with her. "Hillary Clinton understands that if someone in America works 40 hours a week, that person should not be living in poverty," Sanders added. CNN reports: "I have come here to make it as clear as possible why I am endorsing Hillary Clinton and why she must become our next president," Sanders said at a joint rally here. "Secretary Clinton has won the Democratic nomination and I congratulate her for that." The 74-year-old self-described democratic socialist, who has been a thorn in Clinton's side over the last year, pledged his support to his former rival: "I intend to do everything I can to make certain she will be the next president of the United States." Clinton, speaking after Sanders, declared: "We are joining forces to defeat Donald Trump!" "I can't help but say how much more enjoyable this election is going to be when we are on the same side," she said. "You know what? We are stronger together!" Full remarks of Sanders can be found on this blog post.

Tabby vs Calico

Translated:

"Bernie says he will gladly accept whatever bones Queen Hillary tosses him in return for not being sent to gitmo following her coronation."

"Hillary says she is glad Bernie came to his senses because she was beginning to think she'd have to have him put down for being a rabid dog."

Not that this should surprise anyone. While the imminent blood bath is sure to provide some moments of dark humor, sadly we will be voting on which candidate will continue the rise in executive power.

National elections, where the populace of mice decide whether they would prefer to be eaten by a tabby or a calico.

"The fact that Bernie called Clinton "unqualified" throughout his campaign, and is now supporting her is a testament to the Party politics that both D and R people have expressed in the election this year."

No. It means Clinton is unqualified but Trump is an order of magnitude less qualified than that. Seriously, anybody who can't figure that out is a straight moron.
