Not the Bernie we know

Clinton: I expect Sanders to call for unity after Tuesday

Clinton said that in 2008, some supporters urged her to battle Barack Obama to the convention but noted that she decided to cede to Obama rather than fight because they shared similar policy goals and values. 

When this year’s primary season largely ends Tuesday, she said, “I expect Senator Sanders to do the same.”

But she and Bernie do not share the same policy goals and values - or anyway not to the same extent as she and the president.

And certainly not to the same extent as she and Joe Biden, who some people still hope - foolishly, I think - the convention will select if Hillary's legal problems become too shaky before then.

Just consider the hostility of his rhetoric and of his lefty supporters, now looking with favor at Jill Stein, who actually equate Hillary and Il Duce.

Or of his other supporters who say if he's out they'll support Trump.

In a separate interview on ABC’s “This Week,” Clinton added, “I think given where we are in this race, that I will have not only more than a three million vote margin, but I will have a significant majority of pledged delegates by the close of voting on Tuesday.”

Sanders, though, has given no indication he intends to clear Clinton’s path this week.
