WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said Sunday he won't endorse Hillary Clinton for president until they meet and he measures her commitment to battling Wall Street, wealth inequality and other priorities that powered his rogue presidential campaign.

"I look forward to sitting down with Secretary Clinton and see what kind of platform she is going to support and how aggressive she is going to be," he said on CBS "Face the Nation." ''Dependent on how Secretary Clinton comes down on many of these major issues will determine how closely we can work with her."

Sanders' remarks were the first indication that the two Democrats planned to "chat" Tuesday evening after votes in the District of Columbia, the final Democratic presidential primary[...]

This obviously couldn't have possibly been released at a worse time.

 

[norm9]

Just give her a copy of his one and only speech and have her promise to read it aloud to people once a month.

 

[johnsmith]

He'll suspend his campaign and endorse on Wednesday at the latest.

 

[studyguy]

He's going to endorse before Friday and take a moral victory to the convention. Whatever, I don't think anyone is concerned about it at the moment though.

 

[Keby]

Now is not the time, come on man

 

[diaspora]

What a colossal jackass. At least she's got Warren.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

What in the flying fuck, Bernie?

I don't think my opinion of someone has plummeted as much as that of this man.

 

[Frozenprince]

What a tone deaf asshole.

Fuck him.

 

[Permanently A]

With Bernie splitting the party and fear induced by the recent shooting, I can't help but have a feeling of dread that somehow Trump will win.

 

[Slayven]

No one wins Purity Tests.

Just go away Bern, you had your shot and blew it. Let the real work begin

 

[EatinOlives]

You really gotta do this today, Bernie? Really?

 

[ApharmdX]

Bernie already gave a statement on the tragedy today calling for more gun control.

He'll suspend his campaign and endorse on Wednesday at the latest.

Yeah, he's meeting with Hillary on Tuesday. He's prepared to drop out and endorse.

 

[jack_package_200]

You are going to do this today? FUCKING TODAY?

 

[Frozenprince]

There is no reason this couldn't have waited until Monday.

None.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

You really gotta do this today, Bernie? Really?

He is just as big of as fucking egotist as Trump, thats why.

 

[ThisGuy]

I think this is just horrible timing. I also think this is just talk for his supporters that sadly are on the fence. There's no way he won't endorse her.

 

[Palette Swap]

This obviously couldn't have possibly been released at a worse time.

I honestly clicked expecting an article from a few days ago or something.

 

[Zapages]

Seriously Bernie.... I have lost so much respect for him in the past few months.

 

[Kiraly]

Now is not the time, come on man

He was asked a question on a tv news programme. What do you expect the man to do, scrap the whole interview?

Edit: Fucking hell, judging by the comments no one actually read the OP. Dear god HillaryGAF is quick to attack this man.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

What an immensely petty human being. I used to have so much respect for him just a few months ago.

 

[exmachina64]

You really gotta do this today, Bernie? Really?

It's not like he cares, can't be bothered to pretend.

 

[Slayven]

There is no reason this couldn't have waited until Monday.

None.

And people think he would be good in the GE, he is a bumbling fool.

 

[Frozenprince]

Not to mention that his stance on gun control is basically on needle tick left of the NRA's.

 

[Kinsei]

Fuck off Bernie. You really don't need to be in the spotlight today.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

He's suspending the wrong parts of his campaign. Where are the pr people?

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders called it "horrific" and "unthinkable" and said it underscores the need for gun control measures.
"Oh, it's horrific, it's unthinkable. And just hopes go out to all those who were shot that they can recover," the Democratic presidential contender said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."
"And I've got to tell you, 25 years ago, I believe that in this country, we should not be selling automatic weapons which are designed to kill people," Sanders said. "We have got to do everything that we can on top of that to make sure that guns do not fall into the hands of people who should not have them, criminals, people who are mentally ill. So that struggles continues."

He already gave a statement. Jesus some of you guys are just grasping at any reason to be mad at Sanders... let it go.

 

[Kangi]

You make the future of this country about you...?

You make TODAY about you...?

Hope Hillary tells you and your little litmus test off. Nobody cares.

 

[Diablos]

Bernie you fucking moron. You can either drop out now or take the party with you, but you will never be President.

 

[Frozenprince]

He was asked a question on a tv news programme. What do you expect the man to do, scrap the whole interview?

Yes.

You say "this is not the time to talk about Politics, now is the time to mourn and reflect on what we can do as a nation" and relate yourself and your politics to preventing the tragedy.

Not continue to fight a war you already lost.

 

[DMczaf]

National tragedy?

Who cares! Wall St! Establishment!

 

[eBay Huckster]

It's just talk, people, and he already gave remarks about the shooting before this was even posted.

He's out this week.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Tone deaf. Utterly tone deaf. Not today dumbass.

 

[Kyzer]

Just give her a copy of his one and only speech and have her promise to read it aloud to people once a month.

Yeah Bernie was totally just a senile old man with nothing to say other than the same thing over and over


Oh no wait he was a good candidate


Bernie stop this shit. We need Hillary to win. We dont want to know her commitment to wallstreet tell us after trump loses at least

 

[Wafflecakes]

You are going to do this today? FUCKING TODAY?

It has been pretty clear that the LGBTQ community and gun control issues are pretty much irrelevant to Bernie, a single issue candidate.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

His holier-than-thou bullshit is by far the most annoying aspect of his character. Can't wait till this is over and he fucks off back to obscurity where he belongs.

 

[exmachina64]

Yes.

You say "this is not the time to talk about Politics, now is the time to mourn and reflect on what we can do as a nation" and relate yourself and your politics to preventing the tragedy.

Not continue to fight a war you already lost.

Tone deaf. Utterly tone deaf. Not today dumbass.

You guys, calm down. Read the article. The campaign already put out a statement about Orlando, and support for the LGBT community. Just breathe.

 

[Frozenprince]

You guys, calm down. Read the article. The campaign already put out a statement about Orlando, and support for the LGBT community. Just breathe.

I'm saying that's utterly irrelevant. You don't do an interview today about the damn primary.

The partisan infighting can wait for one god damn day.

 

[Wafflecakes]

You guys, calm down. Read the article. The campaign already put out a statement about Orlando, and support for the LGBT community. Just breathe.

"I care about LGBT community!"

"Now lets ignore that and talk about the only thing I really care about... Wall Street!"

 

[googleplex]

No one wins Purity Tests.

Just go away Bern, you had your shot and blew it. Let the real work begin

Junior soprano: "He just couldn't sell it."

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Bernie and Trump can share a raft to Forgotten Island in November.

 

[legacyzero]

iHoly shit at the overrractions in this thread. The guy simply answered a question not even directly related to today's events.

And he even put out a statement today about it!

Its just fun to hate Bernie for some of you folks.

It has been pretty clear that the LGBTQ community and gun control issues are pretty much irrelevant to Bernie, a single issue candidate.

Bullshit.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

You guys, calm down. Read the article. The campaign already put out a statement about Orlando, and support for the LGBT community. Just breathe.

Give me a fucking break. A token statement means fuck-all when he turns right around and spouts more Purity-test bullshit.

 

[OuterLimits]

Perhaps the Sanders interview on CBS was done a couple days ago? I know sometimes they are for the Sunday shows.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I'm not too upset with Sanders over this. Pretty much a boilerplate response considering he was on Face the Nation. Saying he would endorse is wrapping up his campaign on the show, which he doesn't want to do. It was a valid question, he gave a reasonable response given that he probably (hopefully!) has plans to wind things down this week.

 

[Mii]

Tone-deaf is an understatement.

 

[JJMorris]

It's an interview. I'm sure if they asked a question about Orlando, he would've answered that. They made the questions, he answered them.

 

[Frozenprince]

Holy shit at the overrractions in this thread. The guy simply answered a question not even directly related to today's events.

Read the thread.

 

[dr3upmushroom]

People will really find any reason to shit on Bernie.

 

[DietRob]

Oh, who gives a shit. She doesn't need his endorsement. Kick rocks Bernie.
