Bernie Sanders Endorses Hillary Clinton, “Bernie or Busters” Disconsolate
“Hillary Clinton will make an outstanding president and I am proud to stand with her today.” —@BernieSandershttps://t.co/yNC6ALjJnX

Here’s the transcript of Bernie Sanders’ speech today in which he finally faced the reality of the Democratic campaign and, at long last, endorsed Hillary Clinton.
Secretary Clinton has won the Democratic nominating process, and I congratulate her for that. She will be the Democratic nominee for president and I intend to do everything I can to make certain she will be the next president of the United States.
I have come here today not to talk about the past but to focus on the future. That future will be shaped more by what happens on November 8 in voting booths across our nation than by any other event in the world. I have come here to make it as clear as possible as to why I am endorsing Hillary Clinton and why she must become our next president.
During the last year I had the extraordinary opportunity to speak to more than 1.4 million Americans at rallies in almost every state in this country. I was also able to meet with many thousands of other people at smaller gatherings. And the profound lesson that I have learned from all of that is that this campaign is not really about Hillary Clinton, or Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders, or any other candidate who sought the presidency. This campaign is about the needs of the American people and addressing the very serious crises that we face. And there is no doubt in my mind that, as we head into November, Hillary Clinton is far and away the best candidate to do that.
Needless to say, die-hard Bernie or Busters like H. A. Goodman are not taking this very well. At all.
Bernie Sanders is an honorable man, honest, and a real progressive. DEMOCRATS HATE THAT SORT OF THING. BRING ON HRC PERJURY INVESTIGATION!!!

You think today was a victory Hillary supporter? THINK AGAIN. Bernie did the Democratic Party a favor. He could have easily torn it all down

Goodman’s Twitter timeline is an extended shrieking meltdown. Pretty amusing if you’re a connoisseur of meltdowns.
