"Has Hillary Clinton earned Bernie's support?" [View all]

is one of the threads on the last day of the old GD-primaries forum. My answer to that is that she has earned the Democratic nomination by winning millions of more votes and hundreds of more pledged delegates. I've come to the conclusion that while yes--I would love to have Bernie endorse Hillary--that if he continues to drag his feet she can win with or without his "blessing." And while I would love to have all of his supporters vote for her (and I believe most of the sane ones will) that we can win without the "Bernie or bust" crowd too. Finally if some of his die hard supporters want to have "fart-ins" and "hassle lines" at the convention that is their right but it will only make what began as a worthy campaign look ridiculous in the end.
