i don't really know who he is but it sounds like she picked him just to try and win virginia (which is a swing state) and because he can speak spanish

doesn't seem like a good pick but time will tell

By all accounts an average, moderate democrat.

Not particularly exciting, but we don't need exciting. We need sensible.

What we need is Bernie Sanders.

forget that kid, he went around going "ayy I'm going to represent the 99% such as you common folk and crack down on banks and other corrupted corporations" and then proceeded to go "ayy I'm going to endorse this candidate who is very involved with the banks and corrupted corporations, cya later common folk!"

Oh my god can we stop this already. Endorse =/= support. He hates her. He hates everything she stands for. He's just choosing what he believes to be the lesser of two evils. This also allows him to place pressure on the DNC and HRC to live up to the policies that he helped put into the Democratic platform. When he inevitably runs again in 2020, he can use it against her and other establishment politicians.

he could've accomplished that by not endorsing her you know, it's not a requirement.

and nah I'm chill, I'll keep on mentioning it because he pretty much gave all his supporters the boot by endorsing her for his political gain.

en·dorse
/inˈdôrs,enˈdôrs/
verb
1.
declare one's public approval or support of.
"the report was endorsed by the college"

When he inevitably runs again in 2020,

if his Old ass is still alive he's gonna have to convince a whole new generation that he can give everyone free stuff. which isn't that hard now that i think about it stuff

Endorsing is a formality in the world of politics. There is no "I support this persons policies and choices" box that they fill out when someone endorses someone else. It's basically just saying "I'll take you over the other guy or myself because i can't win, I guess." People take it way too seriously. Which is sort of a good thing and a bad thing in this case.

A good thing because he can leverage it against her in the future. A bad thing because people are interpreting it as "I support your decisions and policies."
