AP & NBC: Bernie to sell soul, endorse Hillary, at New Hampshire event next week

Even before Bernie Sanders entered the race, I was 100% confident that he would never be the Democrat's nominee. First of all, he's an avowed socialist. That may play to the left's radical base but, once he had to defend the math behind his plans, he'd be outed as the unelectable extremist he's always been. Secondly, and maybe even more importantly, the Democrat party would never tolerate him as their candidate. He's not one of them, and it's Hillary's turn. End of story. I also argued that, once he managed to realize he wouldn't win, he and his oh-so-pious followers would abandon their lofty principles and join team Hillary. Now, according to the AP, that day has apparently arrived.

The Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders campaigns are discussing a potential event next week in New Hampshire, during which the Vermont senator would endorse Clinton's White House bid. A Democrat familiar with the plans said Wednesday if the two sides continue to make progress, Clinton and Sanders would appear at the joint event Tuesday in New Hampshire. The Democrat spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss the plans. Clinton and Sanders officials declined comment on the possible rally, which was first reported by NBC News.

Remember, the left only has one real belief: Anything that expands the size of the federal government should be supported. As such, Bernie's decision is wholly unsurprising. Whatever else he may be, at his core he's a statist. He's had his fun, knows he can't win, and now it's time to line up behind the candidate he feels will do the most to limit your rights and grow the taxpayer-funded beast. ...And if you think his supporters will hold on to their values when he has abandoned them, you're dreaming. They'll line up like cattle at the slaughterhouse and moo their way to the lever marked "D."
